The University of Adelaide has enjoyed a long and very successful partnership with PiqueGlobal for over 10 years – helping us to align our leadership, culture and change capability to the University’s vision and strategic priorities.
PiqueGlobal continuously invests time and expertise in getting to know our University and the environment in which we operate – discovering what really matters; what the issues and challenges are; who our people are; how our organisational culture impacts decision-making, communication, behaviour and our response to change. They have developed an in-depth understanding of the nuances of the academic, scientific and research mindset of the higher learning sector as it confronts the demands of an ever-changing, highly competitive landscape in a resource-constrained environment.
A few of the many tangible outcomes of the work that we have undertaken in partnership with PiqueGlobal have included:
- fast-tracking the promotion of high potential senior leaders into executive roles after their involvement in a “Lead the Future” program;
- a significant increase in line management effectiveness following a “leading performance” program (as rated by staff members in our Voice survey); and
- enhanced collaboration at senior leader level as evidenced by the support for a Vice Chancellor’s Executive Program that we co-created with PiqueGlobal to facilitate the ‘real work’ of implementing strategic priorities and leading change across the University.
I have referred many of my peers and senior leaders in other higher learning organisations to PiqueGlobal, and have no hesitation recommending them to any organisation in need of trusted leadership development facilitators and strategy, culture, change and organisational development partners.
