Mind Group Australia
The Mind Group Story
Mind Group is a group of experienced business professional and psychologists, each with a minimum of 20 years experience in developing leaders, teams and organisations across a wide array of industries and sectors - from start-ups and not-for-profits through to government, ASX top 100 clients and multinationals. We previously worked for respected Global consulting firms but saw that things could be done better for Australian clients and so in 2015 we launched the Mind Group.
We saw that current practices were often over-complicated and in many instances ineffective - we saw a better way. Over the past decade that has proven to be right, having grown consistently, year on year simply through repeat work and referrals.
Why 'Mind Group'?
Any change in people, whether consciously or unconsciously, involves the mind. We use evidence-based practice to create real change in people's minds and in behaviour. We keep things simple, this is how the 'mind' works best.
What do we Value?
MAKING A DIFFERENCE – We only work with clients when it is clear we can achieve real positive change and outcomes
INNOVATION – Our work is based on research and experience, but fundamentally needs to evolve faster than the needs of our clients. It's also more interesting and energising that way :)
DOING THE RIGHT THING – We want to help our clients succeed whilst also achieving improved outcomes for people and the planet
What work have we done?
We have worked with thousands of leaders to accelerate their development where it is needed, from being a better listener, coach or speaker through to spearheading some of Australia's largest strategic and cultural transformations. Our team have completed leadership, team and organisational devellopment projects for some of Australia's largest and best known organisations including over a quarter of the ASX top 100. We have over 15 years experience working with government bodies (Local, State and Federal) and have positively changing the fortunes of many SMEs including start ups through to sale and even $1Billion plus valuations.

The sensitive nature of our work (individual and market sensitivity) means we respect our clients' right not to be used for our own marketing purposes. Client references are available on request.
Why do clients work with us?
Our clients work with us because we are all experienced accredited professionals in our field. We listen, we get to the point, we add value and challenge their thinking if there is a better way, and then we deliver on what was agreed. Consistently our clients say we're good to work with and they trust us with their stakeholders. We regularly help clients find a cheaper and more effective solution to the issue they initially presented us with.
Our people all have a great depth of experience and so clients are paying for someone who has dealt with similar challenges before. By contrast, many traditional consulting businesses provide junior staff members, learning on your dollar for the same cost. We've been around long enough and have all worked on the 'client side' and so recognise you want someone who listens, gets to the point, engages your stakeholders and delivers on what was agreed.
In terms of costs - we pride ourselves on being transparent and fair. Initial consultation is always free of charge. We only work on projects where we see that we can add valuable insight or can directly facilitate a successful outcome. If we can provide some simple tips that will enable you to 'do it yourself' we feel this is a small price to pay for goodwill. Should the work move to a paid project, all charges are clarified and agreed up front.
People who 'bring us in' to an organisation rightfully take the credit for the outcomes we deliver, we work to make them look good. We also aim to make clients self-sufficient rather than reliant on us as consultants. As such, our IP is provided along with our services for ongoing use rather than ongoing payment.
How are we able to provide such experienced professionals and be so competitive on price? Mind Group is owned by the psychologists and professionals that work directly with our clients. We have no shareholders, private equity ownership, overseas head offices or hidden stakeholders. This allows us to offer a premium service whilst saving clients from paying for unnecessary overheads.
