PGC sees immediate return on leadership investment

Rockingham based PGC have hit the ground running in their quest to become ‘the most streamlined labour hire business in Australia’. The team created a four-year strategic plan, a two-year operational execution plan, a leadership training program, a high performing teams program and individual leadership coaching with G11 Principal Consultants, Sally Carbon (strategy), Michael Broadbridge (execution and leadership) and Simon Jones (leadership and G11 Great Day/high performing teams). “The team embraced having a clear executable strategy from the get-go. They are inspired by the PGC owners investing in their growth – both individually and as a team,” said Broadbridge. “The highlight amongst this six-month program of work has been seeing the growth in individual leadership and a solutions-focused mindset. They’re finding business improvement opportunities so quickly – they are so engaged. For example, a $350,000 saving was found by a team member directly related to a deliverable from the 90 day planning cycle. More importantly though, the team members are bringing their best selves to work each day, and are inspired due to the clarity they have in their roles.” Adam Brough, General Manager, PGC said; “I have done numerous leadership training programs but this is by far and away the most impactful and actionable that I have ever done. The approach G11 take in delivery is making the team perform so well, therefore making my job easier,” Adam Brough, General Manager, PGC.

Engagement and Execution

Engagement and Execution key in Local Government setting

Local Governments have been completing Integrated Planning and Reporting for four lots of four-year cycles currently. This cycle is attracting higher levels of desire in the execution space. We have all shifted from creating aspirations strategic plans to ones that are defined, succinct and extremely deliverable. This shift has achieved satisfaction of community’s expectations on transparency and accountability. Having an executable strategic planning process and plan, it builds a culture of accountability of culture in the workforce, and appeases the workforces desire to enjoy that sense of progress and achievement. Here, Kojonup’s Shire Council is working through its own executable Integrated Planning and Reporting program, with G11Team, for 2023 and beyond. G11 has the unique ability to respectfully challenge leaders, so they development and lead through this program and once execution takes place. G11 doesn’t just produce a plan, it leaves a legacy of strategic knowledge. Mindful of the need to educate stakeholders, particularly Elected Members, on contemporary strategic planning methodology. G11 is also diligent at setting clear boundaries regarding our roles as external facilitators, not content creators. G11Team believes that high performance occurs when people feel good about themselves and their contribution to a team or community. G11 takes great care in acknowledging the strengths and ideas of all involved in Integrated Planning and Reporting process.

Independent school’s deep dive into Strategic Planning

A true competitive advantage for a school is hard to find – let’s face it, they all do similar things. If we consider that competitive advantage is made up of many elements, not just one element, then we can start to determine what makes each school unique. The uniqueness comes from how each element fits together, therefore making a school distinguishable compared to another. After three months of executive-level searching with G11 Team, St James’ Anglican School determined that their purpose was untouchable, but their three-year focus was not. It was determining these focus areas which has enabled anchoring of their competitive advantage. Their soon-to-be released strategic plan clearly articulates what the school stands for, and consequently what it doesn’t. Their plan is made up of 12 elements, or outcomes, fitting together as one strategic jigsaw. Congratulations to St James’ executive, workforce and Board for diving deep into strategic planning, for the betterment of their learners, parents, community and partners for many years to come.
