We help people and companies explore extraordinary opportunities, manage and sustain growth, and maximize revenue. We help organisations to work smarter and grow faster. We consult with our clients to build effective organisations, innovate & grow, reduce costs, manage risk & regulation and leverage talent. Our aim is to support you in designing, managing and executing lasting beneficial change.
We do this using these core principles:
Follow the strategic management approach.
We find and solve the most critical and challenging problems. We take an overall, independent, and fact-based view of a client’s performance. We rely on facts because they provide clarity and align people. Facts are the global management language. We work with facts to provide credible recommendations. We work directly with leaders who can partner with us to develop and accept recommendations and have the ability to implement them.
Use our global network to deliver the best of the firm to all clients.
No one at Leadway "owns" a client relationship. We rely on multiple people, not a single consultant, to provide leadership and our high standard of client service in each situation. We draw on our global network of internal or external expertise to bring together the right minds for the right solutions.
Bring innovations in management practice to clients.
Our clients need new insight. We ask our people to bring their best thinking to our clients. We invest significant resources in building knowledge. We see it as our mission to bring this knowledge to our clients and we publish it for the benefit of business and government leaders worldwide and to force ourselves to think about what is next.
Build client capabilities to sustain improvement.
We work with our clients as we do with our colleagues. We build their capabilities and leadership skills at every level and every opportunity. We do this to help build internal support, get to real issues, and reach practical recommendations. We bring out the capabilities of clients to fully participate in the process and lead the work after we have left.
Build enduring relationships based on trust.
We earn our clients’ trust. We do this through our consistently superior service, our professional conduct, and our complete commitment. Each one of us is responsible for earning and keeping our clients’ trust with our individual behaviour and the quality of our work. We care for our clients as people and organizations, even when we are not serving them.
Our Strategic Consulting Business..............................
At Leadway, our strategic consulting business, aims to unlock organisational value via a blended approach of management, consulting, facilitation and technology.
Systems Selection and Product Evaluation
The replacement of systems that contribute to the smooth running of your organisation can be a daunting and costly affair. Leadway understands your concerns. With our expertise and experience in assisting organisations to source and implement HR, Financial and Project Management systems to meet organisational needs, we can assist in defining the requirements of such a system and/or assist in the evaluation of considered products.
Benefits Realisation
One of the areas that we are passionate about is Benefits Realisation. Large ERP implementations are budgeted for and agreed on the basis of a sound business case. How sad then that once the implementation starts, this is often never referred to again. At Leadway, we assist organisations with interventions which assist in answering the difficult questions around expenditure and business value in terms of IT projects. Research has shown that many of these projects fail as a result of insufficient attention being given to Change Management .
Whether your organisation is a large listed entity, a smaller privately owned business, a major parastatal or even a local or provincial government body, Leadway can assist you in realising the benefits of your implementation.
HR Systems Consulting
Organisations need to ensure that they extract maximum value from their HR systems investment in today’s complex and ever changing world of work. This means effectively managing information that goes beyond the mere HR transactional and assists the HR function to be a valued Strategic player in the Board room.
HR systems have the capability to assist to achieve this objective but often organisations need help in understanding what is available, what is the value vs the complexity and importantly, how to manage the changing roles that this necessitates at all levels.
Self service applications facilitate employees and line managers taking responsibility for transactional HR data. Data that was previously the exclusive domain of HR is now opened up to the organisation. This allows the HR function time to analyse information to promote initiatives aimed at improving staff retention, increasing performance and contributing to organisational success rather than be administratively responsible for data.
Leadway can assist organisations with this level of detail.
Change Management
“Both willingness and ability to change must be present for change to succeed. Willingness without ability leads to frequent change initiatives that fail to realize their promise, resulting in organisational fatigue, frustration and cynicism. Ability to change without the willingness to do so leads to passive resistance and malicious compliance.” (Mahoney, Gartner Research 2001).
It is widely accepted that large-scale change initiatives present great opportunities, but that they also pose significant implementation risks. Many of these risks are ‘people related’ risks that need to be properly managed and mitigated to ensure successful implementation and transformation of the business.
Research has shown that human responses to change are largely cyclical and predictable. When communities of people are required to adjust to changing conditions, a level of discomfort and pain is always present. To some degree, this downside of change is inevitable. Even when the change initiative’s ultimate impact is positive, those affected by it often resist the change due to widespread expectations of discomfort combined with an instinctive fear of the unknown.
Management interventions are therefore necessary for the success of projects of this nature. On the basis of this we have crafted a blue print for Change as it relates to the implementation of systems which impact the entire organisation. Our approach is to provide Senior Change Management consultants who work together with our customer’s Change Management team.
The change management approach is then tailored to support and underpin the key project milestones and to address both the willingness and the ability of the organisation to embrace the change. Our Consultants assist in the early stages of the project to refine the blue print to cater for these particular circumstances. Thereafter the customer’s team takes ownership. During the implementation our consultants provide guidance and support based on the customer’s requirements. This has proved to be a cost effective method of managing Change as well as putting ownership where it belongs – with the customer.
Project Management
Managing large IT project implementations can be daunting. At Leadway we use Prince 2 or PMI certified Project Managers to assist us in keeping our projects on time and within budget. We have developed our own methodology for the implementation of IT systems and where necessary, this is tailored to fit in with any customer specific methodology.
From the management of complete ERP implementations to smaller projects and customised solutions, we make sure that proper and adequate planning takes place, to ensure the successful implementation of all projects.
Our experienced Project Managers can assist you in managing any IT intervention.
