GPL Network’s Alliance Partners Godfrey Pembroke was launched in 1981 by two Australian entrepreneurs with a vision to create a business providing tailored financial advice, for clients with some complexity in their financial affairs. We provide specialist advice in an extensive range of areas, drawing on external experts where necessary or working with clients’ existing advisers. Our clients include business owners, trusts and foundations, senior executives, high income earners and those seeking a partnership with a trusted and experienced professional.* As at 30 September, 2010 View website  Neural Networks Consulting NNC has established itself as a leader in results based sales, business strategy, leadership, coaching and team effectiveness programs. Our training programs have been described as groundbreaking and best practice in their use of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Intelligence and Generative Psychology. Our programs represent a move away from traditional (outdated) leadership and sales techniques toward a more consultative approach where your people learn to actively take ownership of their performance and facilitate a buying experience with clients. Our objective is to work in partnership with organizations from a holistic perspective; strategically reviewing the range of critical success factors that will enable you to achieve your strategic goals. You will see measurable results. View website  Leaders understand that information can be the catalyst behind the most significant changes in human behaviour. MYP Corporation (MYP) understands that to affect the type of change that drives true performance, this information must be understandable, relevant, current and credible. MYP provides a web-based suite of tools, solutions and information for leaders: advising businesses; managing businesses; guiding the direction of our schools and educational organisations. Critical decisions are often made without quality information because the process of capturing information is time-consuming and expensive. MYP resolves this and empowers advisers, managers and educators to focus their energy on informed decision making and the execution of strategy. To learn more about our analysis tools, business diagnostics, benchmarking, satisfaction and performance surveys, sales growth programs, business process tools and the wide range of highly valuable reports. View website  THE CULTURE DOCTOR® PTY LTD is a business consulting firm anchored in powerful corporate sociology. The consultancy brings deep understanding of just how corporate culture can be harnessed to drive significant and measurable productivity increases for your company. It’s about leadership and it’s about the people of your organisation. Simply put, our values and their expressed beliefs drive all corporate behaviours – the observable culture. International research reveals that quick-fix, short-duration training creates no measurable change in the alignment of the beliefs of team members and their organisation. Human beliefs are deeply embedded in values and stoutly resistant to change. Any remedy has to be: led authentically from the highest levels of the organisation; continuous; and measured. Dr Tony Watt is the principal consultant who leads the delivery of his company’s high-value professional services. He avoids the discredited ‘cookie-cutter’ approach to remedying corporate ills. His approach is tailor-made for each organisation and their unique cultures. Dr Watt understands that a rational, top-down model of cultural change and alignment just doesn’t work. Leaders get short-term compliance on the surface but underneath nothing changes in the beliefs of the team. Unfortunately, no discretionary effort is released. What’s the alternative? The Culture Doctor has a four step process for remedying an ailing corporate culture and releasing discretionary effort. It’s this discretionary effort of the people of any organisation that takes it from good to great. First step is to ASK the people of the organisation what beliefs drive them. This is the diagnosis bit. An on-line instrument is used. A series of workshops develop company-unique measures based on the highest priority commonly shared values of the company and its people. This community of belief can be measured. Once this asking step has been completed and the measurement recorded, the crucial ‘pay attention’ or LISTEN step is commenced. This is the prognosis bit. This is the stage when the prescription is developed. New strategy is developed to address the identified problems. Next the company’s leaders must ACT and be seen to act upon the agreed strategies. This is the prescription bit. Once the remedy is taken, the endless cycle moves to ASK AGAIN. In this intensely guided process, your company will unfold its competitive edge of greatness. When your team believes their corporate culture is healthy they will behave as a healthy community of beliefs.

View website  AMMA Private Investment is a boutique investment company that was formed to search for, and manage investment opportunities for Accounting Firms and their select clients, accessing investment opportunities that may not have otherwise been available to both the firms and their clients. AMMA works with Accounting Firms and their clients to source investment opportunities that supplement a clients existing investment strategy, a strategy that may have been set with the assistance of a financial planner or established by the investor directly. As AMMA searches for opportunities that are not typically available through most investment houses or easily sourced individually, the AMMA opportunities provide an alternate source of value to investors and our very exclusive group of Accounting Firms across the country. From an Accounting firms perspective it is a great way to provide further value to clients who are looking for more value from their relationships with business advisors such as their Accountants. The process followed is one of introduction or referral whereby Accounting Firms are introducing clients to opportunities so that clients can then decide whether a private investment opportunity is suitably of interest from their individual perspective.
