Our Approach

Our work helps leaders to focus and energise organisations.

We are an Australian owned management consultancy that specialises in independent reviews, business strategy, transformation, governance and risk, performance, and organisational design.

We routinely work with public sector organisations, large enterprises, and social enterprises that operate in highly regulated environments.

Our engagements are led and delivered by seasoned consultants. Experts with a deep understanding of the sensitivities and complexities of working in situations where the path forward involves balancing strategic goals, customers, workforce, community stakeholders, and Government policy.



Working collaboratively is a fundamental principle of our consulting approach, and allows for leveraging of knowledge and insights, as well as skills transfer from SpencerMaurice to our clientโ€™s team.

  • We are truly independent.
  • We adopt a pragmatic, flexible approach.
  • We solve complex challenges and wicked problems.
  • We challenge ourselves to innovate.
  • We like to view the work we do with clients as a true partnership model.
  • We use a relationship-based consulting style, underpinned with a digital-enabled approach.
  • We measure our own success by the strength of our relationships, and the outcomes we have helped our clients to achieve.

For each project, we assemble a tailored team of experts based on our clientโ€™s specific requirements.

We use an agile resourcing model. This allows us to build teams combining the strengths and expertise of our direct employees, freelance and independent specialist consultants, and subject matter experts from other partner consulting firms.

We take this approach because we believe it adds value and delivers the best possible outcomes for our clients.

We aim to

  • Help leaders achieve their organisational goals
  • Solve problems using a systems approach
  • Reframe what can be achieved, and find better ways forward
  • Strengthen our clients, by improving their in-house capabilities and ways of working
  • Listen carefully to identify context, key issues, and nuance
  • Put people at the centre of decisions
