Levant Consulting (THE TRUSTEE FOR LEVANT CONSULTING TRUST) ?

Levant Consulting is an employee-owned business focused on helping our clients deliver better organisational change and transformation.  We partner with our clients to ensure the critical elements for complex and technology-driven change are in place. Whether that’s a precursor to change (i.e., leadership alignment, operating model, and organisational design) or in support of technology implementation (i.e., stakeholder-centric change management).

Our team of consultants, based in Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra, work differently than other consultancies.  And that’s by design.  First and foremost, our focus is to deliver our clients great outcomes, not just a great report or lengthy pack of materials. Our small and nimble teams work side-by-side with your people to co-identify, co-build, co-implement and co-sustain the change.  We do this because we know that collaboration provides the best chance of success when it comes to complex change.  

We believe our size, focus on outcomes and determination to build capability in the teams we partner with is a key enabler for our clients.  It’s another reason we don’t have an army of consultants to throw at a problem or take it ‘offline’ to work on it in the dark.

Since Levant Consulting started in 2012, we’ve enjoyed profitable growth, while working with some of Australia’s most successful companies and government entities.

Thoughtpost Governance Pty Ltd ?

Governance has the potential to significantly impact the development and delivery of Public Policy outcomes.

Governance is a misunderstood category often grouped under the heading of “compliance”, rather than the broader topic of “governance systems and performance impacting policy outcomes”.

Thoughtpost is one of Australia’s leading public sector Governance specialist firms. Governance is all we do. 
We understand the nuance required when operating in a public sector environment, often influenced by what we describe as “constrained autonomy”.

Our principals were responsible for the development of the governance curriculum for the AICD.

Our subject matter specialist partners address the broad question of Governance from the integrated perspectives of

  • policy and process,
  • strategy and finance, 
  • regulatory and legal, 
  • behaviour and culture.

Alignment behind a common purpose produces better outcomes.

Thoughtpost can assist in multiple ways:

  • We can ensure that governance structures are appropriate for the stated purpose, and effectively support the defined strategy.
