Our Story
Change is an adventure.
We are adventure guides.
In an earlier career, I was one-half of a pioneering team that set a Guinness World Record for the highest base jump. It was a feat enabled by concerted effort: parachutist and mountaineer teaching one another our adventure skills so we could climb and jump from a 21,000-foot-high mountain in Pakistan. Corporates invited me to speak about the National Geographic-supported expedition and its multidisciplinary underpinnings at their high-achiever conferences. An enterprise helping cross-functional teams pursue far-reaching goals became established.
Promoting team performance (behavioural change) led to enabling business improvement (organisational change). Concerted’s first change-consulting assignment was for a corporate in 2002. Since then, we have:
conducted reviews for government agencies and utilities
produced analysis reports recommending where and how governments can realise $billions in productivity improvements
implemented strategic and structural change for not-for-profit clients driven by standards of care and service values.
Our mission: Concerted orchestrates efforts to analyse, design, plan, change and sustain organisational performances.

Our Ethos
Change is an adventure. The objective is clear, but the plan to get there is untravelled and exposed. The path is linear, the experience dynamic. For some, the journey will straddle fear and excitement. Concerted Efforts are an all-together approach to change that enrols people in the adventure. So everyone can arrive at the target state triumphant and in one piece.
