Ric Willmot is "The Strategist for Professional Service Firms" by assisting organizations to improve performance, profits and productivity. Most businesses are en route to destinations they don't seek because of a strategy they haven't set is taking them there. Ric helps clients to compare their desired strategy with what the actual strategy is and realign them and their people back to "true north". If you are not working with Ric, you may have a strategy by default that you are not even aware is driving your business. Hence, your tactical decisions, no matter how good, are wrong.
Ric Willmot's work is sought after internationally in improving business growth, success and profits; and he is the go-to person for CEOs, senior executives, and professional service people practicing in law, accounting, financial services, psychology, counselling, consulting, recruitment, coaching and alike. He doesn't waste time on theory and all content is practical and immediately usable.
Ric Willmot is seen as the thought leader for strategic business improvement. So much so, that PwC use him to mentor their partners and directors. His intent is not just to improve your business, but to build firms which create wisdom and wealth.
Below are some recent examples from our hundreds of clients. This summarises a few of the identifiable projects designed and delivered, not the total gamut of our consulting for any of them.
• Course Development - For Bendigo Bank we designed instructive workshops on leadership through to presentation skills, using specialised and purposely-created learning materials, and facilitated program sessions.
"Ric, thank you. Your thought provoking and participative approach allowed our team (including myself) to reflect on our own leadership strengths, and how we can continue to learn and develop - and just as importantly, develop the skills of our teams."
Andrew Watts, Chief Manager, Retail - Northern Australia, Bendigo Bank
• Organizational Planning - For RAPI we assisted in the design of a new organizational structure, incorporating the national and state chapters, to maximise services to members.
• Strategy Design - For HB Recruitment & Training we facilitated strategic sessions for the Owner and Senior Management, ensuring the organization was able to allocate resources and prioritize plans. Clarity of vision and purpose established a new methodology within a competitive environment allowing the business to move towards premium services and pricing. This allowed the company to preserve it's entrepreneurial quality, even as it implemented fundamental and indespensable systems crucial to preserving quality amidst extraordinary growth.
"Ric has been instrumental in developing strategies which has taken HB to the next level. His persistent challenging nature has given me no option but to improve my game which has in turn raised expectations within the staff, allowing them to achieve their goals and improve the sucess of HB. Within six months Ric has lead us to astonishing results and improved performance."
Julie Kerin, Managing Director, HB Recruitment & Training
• Customer Service - For Tint-A-Car we designed a program focused on customer relationships, and the pragmatic business results achieved from the “intangible” components of the business.
• Organizational Development - For G & J Box Constructions we evaluated business operations to verify the best strategic focus necessary for continued success. This then served as the basis for the development of a peak performance management and evaluation program.
• Executive Mentoring - For PricewaterhouseCoopers we have worked closely with partners and directors in improving their management & leadership skills, strategic thinking, problem-solving & decision-making, networking, marketing, client interactions, time management and interpersonal skills.
• Workshops - For BHP we designed and instigated workshops in the areas of leadership, teamwork, innovation and behaviour change. These workshops were made accessible for all levels of the business regularly, using pragmatic business concepts.
• Assessment & Appraisal - For New Hope Coal Australia we assisted the CEO & National HR Manager by interviewing staff on sites for Role Design, Performance Assessment, Salary Appraisal and Psychometric Evaluation. The outcome was a more relevant system of roles & responsibilities ensuring best fit of people to position, with more equitable remuneration.
• Human Resource Strategies - For Sternhall Financial & Insurance we appraised staff competencies and accountabilities in relation to corporate objectives and contributed to their overall HR strategy, focusing on quantifiable and specific goals. Educational staff programs based upon business outcomes were developed, establishing a worthwhile and comprehensible connection between staff training and organisational outcomes.
“Ric has a unique ability in working with people to help them identify and understand their own character and others to enable them to form better working relationships. Ric has the Midas touch in bringing out the potential in all.”
Nick McGuire – Economic Development Manager, Beaudesert Shire Council
• Innovation - For Science 2 Medical we designed a program to cultivate innovation throughout the entire organization. This way the business units would operate in an innovative manner as market place became more global.
• Problem-Solving And Decision-Making - For FAI we designed and implemented a Professional Development Program for management personnel in the area of problem-solving and decision-making as it applies to human performance and strategy. This has enabled management to quickly determine the relationship between cause and effect and to subscribe their attention to cause-solution rather than symptom-attendance. One of the results being that management could address observed behaviour rather than implied issues which have little or no consequence to business performance.
• Re-engineering - For Pacific Star Communications we worked with senior management to implement pertinent management systems to fulfil expected consumer needs. Followed up with the introduction of team-building, individual management performance improvement, and client assessment and feedback surveys to instigate the systems. The project incorporated assessments and evaluations of key senior management, and assisting in an advisory capacity on the acquisition of senior people.
"Ric Willmot continues to lift our game, so that we kick many successful business goals. His consulting and executive coaching makes us an A-Grade team. Ric is worth every cent."
John Gibson - Pacific Star Communications
