Why Possibilities?

Our client approach

… or in other words; why do OD folk like working with us?

We are only interested in working with organisations and people who really want to effect change.

What does this mean for OD/HR people? It means we totally understand the connection between leadership competencies, behavioural change and organisational culture.

Our tried and tested approach uses experiential activities to create behavioural change. Our course design and delivery methodology draws on our collective background in strategy, leadership and negotiation with Mt Eliza Executive Education (Melbourne Business School); and the vast, and growing domain of negotiation academia, best represented by the Harvard Program on Negotiation.

Clients use our courses to develop the culture they are trying to achieve.

This is how we help them ...

  • Before the program we spend time briefing ourselves about the direction and challenges of your organisation.

  • During the course we make connections to your context that make the learning opportunity ‘real’.

  • At the end of the course we spend time assisting participants develop their own practical Action Plan to take back into the workplace based on their learnings.

  • After the course, we provide the organisation with a methodology for following up on these action plans.

The participant experience

Participants on our programs are immersed in practical and engaging exercises that simulate real and relevant engagement situations. Learnings are debriefed using world class frameworks that make practical sense and are immediately implementable. Depending upon the course, these ‘exercises’ may be focused on:

  • Interpersonal work negotiations

  • Leadership

  • Procurement or stakeholder negotiations

  • Strategy execution

  • Two party or complex multi-party negotiations

  • Managerial, dispute or conflict focused or staff focused negotiations

  • Decision making, two, three and multi party.

We also use selected psychometric and behavioural feedback instruments as part of our courses to complement and deepen participants understanding about the ways in which they contribute to and/or hinder their success.

Our delivery

Our clients often operate multiple sites across states or countries that require a consistent internal message. We have the proven capability to deliver for these clients using our reliable, scalable course delivery systems.

We match course delivery with the priorities of the organisation. Our approach ensures that a consistent language and framework is agreed and delivered no matter where the program is delivered or who is involved.  Behind the scenes, our course management and logistical systems ensure seamless delivery whenever and wherever our clients decide.

Our operation is based out of Melbourne Australia but we travel as needed to work with our clients.  Recent work has taken us around Australia and New Zealand as well as Fiji and Indonesia.
