Do you work for a 3BL company?





The triple bottom line (abbreviated as TBL or 3BL, and also known as people, planet, profit or "the three pillars") captures an expanded spectrum of values and criteria for measuring organisational (and societal) success: economic, ecological, and social.

Company Culture
Through Principles learned from some of the “best companies to work for” and “most successful companies” we help you focus on the cultural clusters in your company that can help you grow, implement new strategies and become more productive.   We help you with the introduction of tailored solutions to change non-practical cultural believes, and get buy in from the front line through to senior management.  We stay involved throughout the whole process, enabling the best possible outcomes.

Change Management
Change can often be difficult and met by resistance.  We help you fully understand change, what is required, help you map out the path, and support you through it, just like in a successful partnership.

Employee Engagement
The key here is to not only have your employees engaged, but for them to manage up and create innovation from within.  Employee engagement will also reduce absenteeism and staff retention.

Staff Motivation
Most people have something that drives and motivates them, and in most cases it’s not the same.  Establishing whether people are extrinsically or intrinsically motivated, and finding out why they are at work, will aid in creating a better workplace where employees look forward to showing up.

Team Leadership
Starting with leaders understanding themselves through “self-evaluation”, understanding the EQ’s SQ’s (emotional and social quotient) etc., understanding the difference between leadership and management, and how to get the best from your staff are only some of the factors we focus on.  Our program cannot be successful unless we have total support from the senior leadership team down, as well as from the front line up.  Lean culture and lean leadership are two key components in the journey of become a great leader.

Systems & Processes (Lean Six Sigma)
Lean Six Sigma is todays buzz word, but in essence all we are talking about are principles found in Lean and Six Sigma.  There are many other tools, but at the end we investigate if a process that is in place is really the best means to an end.  We may find that there are a few steps to many, which make it inefficient.  We may look at the supply chain and find areas to save time, money, reduce inventory, etc.  This will create savings due to the removal of wasteful practices.

Productivity and Efficiency Increases
Through a combination of all of the above we are able to help you target specific areas in your business that will most benefit in the short term, as well as a focus on the big picture and long term sustainability of the business. 

Environment and Sustainability
With carbon taxes, global warming, utilities and transport costs all affecting our bottom line, we can take a closer look at the triple bottom line (3BL).  People and profit will be targeted through the areas above, and planet will be included early on to ensure any change incorporates environmental responsibility and sustainability, without any major cost impacts on the business.

Our approach 
in assisting your business is based on an initial business audit, a 360 degree review, a systems and processes audit, people audit and much more.  Below are some of the key target areas and some very basic explanations on what we do.  We could discuss each and every one of these points over many pages, but we’d rather meet you and find out what most concerns you in your business.  What are you or your employees losing sleep over?  Once we fully understand where it hurts, we can target these areas, and through root cause analysis drill down into the whole value chain of your business (from suppliers to end customers), to ensure a measured approach in line with your business strategy.


Last, but not least, we have the added advantage of not only being a specialist consultancy firm, but through our RTO (Registered Training Organisation) arm, we can structure our programs to include your whole organisations training requirements.  Whether it is accredited and nationally recognised training, skills cluster training, or purely non accredited specific skills in areas like sales, procurement or finance (to name a few) to address any areas above and make you an even more successful business.  If you are in Australia, New Zealand or Great Britain that furthermore means that we can access to a number of government initiatives to support some of the programs on offer financially.

If you have read through all the above, my guess is that you have nodded at least a couple of times.  Are you ready however to drop me a line or give me a call to set up a meeting over a coffee to start the conversation on how we can add value to your business?
