How we work

Engage us in the way that suits your business, and change it as your needs change.

Ways to engage us

Six ways to work with us, often combined

Every business needs something different. We can work with you in a number of ways, in any of our practice areas, and often a combination of them.

Most clients use more than one of these, at different times and in different areas. We will help you work out the right mix.

Advisory

Independent, practical advice to help you shape the right approach before you commit. We help you understand the problem, weigh up the options and plan the way forward, from strategy and structure through to priorities and sequencing.
Project / managed delivery

We take responsibility for delivering a defined project or outcome. 5S Advisory puts the right team in place, manages the work and provides oversight from start to finish, so there is one point of accountability.
Specialist resources and contractors

Experienced specialists who join your team for a project or a period of time, such as a change manager, project lead or finance specialist. They are engaged through 5S Advisory, with our support behind them.
Recruitment

When you need permanent or contract people, we find and secure the right fit for your business, drawing on many years of recruitment experience.
Fractional capability

Senior expertise on a part-time or ongoing basis, such as HR, change or finance leadership, without the cost of a full-time hire.
Partner-led solutions

Some capability is best delivered by specialists we know and trust, particularly in technology. We bring in the right partner and manage the relationship, so you still deal with one team.

Our approach

One relationship, the right people, clear accountability

Understand

It starts with a conversation about your business, what is changing and what you need to achieve.
Shape

We lead the relationship, getting to know your business and shaping the right solution with you.
Assemble

We bring in the right people for the work, from our own team, specialist contractors or trusted partners.
Deliver

The work is delivered under 5S Advisory, with oversight throughout so quality and outcomes stay on track.

Our partners

Trusted partners across HR, finance and technology

Our partner network extends what we can deliver. Through technology, finance and specialist delivery partners, our clients can access broader capability, without the complexity.
