Organisational transformation

Purpose Partners was engaged to use participatory processes to lead SDIEA (Southern Downs Industry and Education Association) through a process of re-purposing of our organisation.  We were undergoing a time of great change mostly relating to changes in government funding which was greatly impacting on the future of the organisation.

They were just what we needed. Individual members of the management board had differing ideas as to what our next steps would be. Purpose Partners are taking us through a process of revisiting, re-visioning and re-purposing. The processes they use are like magic! It has enabled clients, their families, employers, businesses, other service providers and staff to do some story telling about their experience with the organisation and to recognise the capacity the organisation has to do more great work.

Jane, Mel and Frank genuinely and authentically model the participatory processes they use in their conversations. They do not come into your organisation as experts and they do not come in to 'consult' or 'advise'. They truly operate from the belief that you are the experts and you have the wisdom that is required. They are experts at providing the processes for us to draw that knowledge and wisdom to the surface of our conscious awareness so we can act upon it.

SDIEA is deeply grateful for the role Purpose Partners has played in our re-purposing process and we are confident that we have been provided with the right tools to enable us to continue on our journey as an organisation. Their authentic approach to the work they do has had a great influence on the organisation and we intend to continue to use the participatory processes into the future.

Organisational development

Purpose Partners has offered our organisation skilful, transparent and authentic engagement, supporting us to find solutions to our own problems in an increasingly complex environment.

Upon our invitation, Purpose Partners has worked with our business for the past year supporting us in a participatory, community focused approach to our strategic planning and also in redesigning our staff meetings to be more efficient, effective and enjoyable. The organisation offered and encouraged staff to learn more about the participatory process and engaged Purpose Partners to deliver this training. Our team, and our business, has changed as a result. We are making more effective decisions and are more cohesive, empowered and engaged as a team. 

If you are looking for a new approach to working in complexity and change, I recommend Purpose Partners wholeheartedly.

Greg Wilson, General Manager Weeroona, Gympie

Individual

The positive impact of Jane and Mel from Purpose Partners on my life and work has been considerable.

When I was first considering starting a web design business supporting smaller organisations in the non-profit sector, Purpose Partners were the logical choice to guide me in unearthing my purpose in starting a business.

Undergoing a holistic discovery process with Jane and Mel, I was able to clearly identify the vision, values and purpose of my work as well as to pinpoint what challenges I would face and supports I would need when embarking upon my new venture.

Individual 

I deeply appreciate how you walk your talk and am really inspired by your dedication and authenticity. I genuinely feel your devotion to supporting change that is built on fairness and respect and it gives me greater permission and courage to express this in my own work in the world. The world needs you combination of courageous and humble leadership! Thankyou!

Joanna Pyres, The Partnership Brokers Association

Training

I am consistently surprised how valuable the Art of Hosting training has been. Working in the spaces of environmental sustainability and community mobilisation I now have the right tools to host myself to host communities, and for them to then host others and more communities. It's provided me with access and peace of mind when leading community mobilisation projects in Landcare. These courses are a hands down must do if you want to create change.

Training

I attended the recent conference at Redcliffe on the Art of Participatory Leadership. It was a really great way to start my work year and has given me inspiration and a fresh way of working with people; already I am using the group work techniques in my work. Mostly however I am inspired by the Art of Asking Questions and developing my curiosity.

Communities of Practice

I am a member of the 30 Mob (a community of practice for disability organisation managers and CEOs). Purpose Partners have proven to be professional in delivering a much appreciated coordination role of the 30 Mob. They have demonstrated support in relation to identifying issues that are important to us and following through in sourcing relevant and up to date information; leadership in relation to facilitating our development, ideas and positioning in the sector; and they know how to have fun.

Cathy Wilson, CEO Life Stream Australia

Communities of practice / organisational development

30mob have been fortunate to work with Purpose Partners who have been responsible for organising and hosting our recent conferences and branding workshop as well as managing the group’s communications and membership.

Purpose Partners have delivered their services well beyond the initial brief and have always impressed our members by going the extra mile and contributing considered and helpful advice and counsel.  They are very professional, experienced and fun to work with and they keep our organisation on track to meet its goals and targets.

I would highly recommend Purpose Partners for their consulting and management services to any organisation to assist them to achieve the outcomes that they desire in this rapidly changing business environment.
