About Us

The Working Journey, established in 2001, works with a broad spectrum of clients and industries. In the corporate world we work with Boards, Executives and Managers to help them design and lead their enterprises and see their intent come to fruition through liberating their people’s capability. We also work with social businesses and not for profits in a range of settings.

Our relationships are long-term because we provide significant return on investment through direct advice built on a foundation of trust. Our clients are provided with integrated, practical tools supported by robust models. We make the complex simple using researched principles rather than latest OD fashions. This has seen our niche consultancy work on an ongoing basis with a range of clients across Australia and Africa. Our Working Journey Handbook explains who we are and how we make a difference to individuals, companies and the community.
