A firm's journey is rarely a straight line
Your leadership, structure, technology and culture must evolve at each stage of your journey to align with your strategic direction and goals. Sometimes firm growth is interrupted by unexpected hurdles. We help you remove obstacles enabling you and your firm to adapt...while keeping your 'professional firm values' in tact.
Many have travelled the path before you...
Where is the firm going?
How do we drive business growth?
What do we need to be successful?
How do we get partners to follow?
What is the secret to motivating employees?

Philip Pillai, Chairman,

These developments took the firm towards its long term goals and greatly improved both our focus and our effectiveness. This is turn brought benefits to the firm and its partners.'

Professional Services Culture Circuit Firms are made up of professional people…who gain qualifications from industry training bodies…and who join industry associations. Each group has its own culture and your people adopt values and behaviours from each. By the time people join your firm, they have already formed opinions and attitudes that shape their behaviour. Similarly, each firm or association they belong to in their career, adds to the evolutionary process that shapes what kind of partner or leader they will become. As culture impacts directly on firm performance and profitability, it's important to know the values of other players in your Culture Circuit. To change your firm's behaviours, you may need to get them to change theirs too. The Culture Circuit is a growthcurv proprietary framework. We show you how to use it to capture market share, renew growth, improve service quality and achieve your targets. |
Kathryn Roberts, Tax Partner, PricewaterHouse, New Zealand
'Pamela's great strengths are her energy and enthusiasm. She relates well to people and has great personal charm. When added to her experience and commitment to high standards of service, these personal skills make for a very talented individual with an ability to succeed in any endeavour and market.' 
Sara Katz, Founder and CEO, Katz & Associates, USA
'I hired Pamela to help us formulate a new strategy to take us forward. Her broad experience was evidenced by her quick grasp of our business operations and issues. I asked her to return a few years later to investigate the ‘stress fractures’ that had arisen due to the growth; she again provided solutions that allowed us to move forward with sure footing.' |
