Duck Pond Ripple Effect for SA Consulting
There is movement in the South Australian world of management consulting with the launch of Duck Pond Solutions.
Going solo after a number of years in partnership delivering solutions for blue-chip clients and peak organisations, Gill Duck is excited about charting her own course.
With a strong focus on developing and executing strategy, Duck Pond Solutions is a management consulting firm operating in the private, public and not for profit sectors in South Australia and nationally.
With her successful track record, Gill says there is one crucial factor in crafting truly effective strategy execution.
People first
“Your people are your key.”
“Putting your people first sets you on the path to sustainable success. Unite your leaders around the strategy and invest in building cohesive and connected teams. That’s what makes or breaks strategy execution.”
Gill is committed to doing things differently and creating bespoke solutions for her clients. While it isn’t always easy to change how you do things, Gill has found it’s always worth it.
“Look, change is challenging.”
“Organisations and Teams are complex, and your management or change consultant needs to have the passion, the skills and the experience to take on that challenge,” said Gill.
“We work with you to deliver deep industry expertise and human-centred approaches to help our clients shape their business strategies, service delivery, and drive growth.”
“We develop your leaders, and we optimise your people, processes and systems to get the solutions you need and the results you want.”
The outcome is positive change and a valuable, sustainable legacy for Gill’s clients long after the job is complete.
Centre for expertise
Duck Pond Solutions is forging strategic alliances to bring capabilities that clients need to design and implement breakthrough solutions.
Amongst these is Think One Team Consulting, where Founder and Organisational Psychologist Graham Winter confirmed, “Gill has gone right to the biggest challenge for most leadership teams: how to successfully refresh and execute strategy in such volatile times. We’re delighted to be a part of her team”.
With the Think One Team alliance, Duck Pond Solutions immediately taps into insights and proven tools being deployed by the Executive and Leadership Teams of many of Australia’s leading universities, government agencies and business enterprises.
This is just one of the resources being brought together under the Duck Pond Solutions banner to offer a comprehensive holistic approach to strategy execution which includes:
Strategy design and development
Leadership and team facilitation and coaching
Program and project change management
Operational efficiencies (lean methodologies and systems thinking)
Stakeholder engagement and communications strategy
Innovation and clarity
Duck Pond Solutions has the agility to bring fresh insight, clarity, and expertise to organisations. With more than 30 years of local and international experience they focus on both people, and operational efficiency.
“We deal with the difficult questions to deliver the strategies our clients need.” said Gill.
