For teams and organisations to thrive they need to go under the surface.

We tend to put most of our effort into the top-tenth of the iceberg, on the bits we can see and can control. This means we may not always make the change that matters – we may impose technical solutions onto cultural problems or respond to symptoms not the causes of problems. The real potential for change is underneath, in the nine-tenths we can’t see. 

Madfinch Consulting helps your organisation achieve real, lasting change by giving attention to who you are and what you bring – the people and the culture. 
​
In her workshops Melinda Maddock combines the pragmatic approach of politics and campaigning with models like Theory U, the Barrett Values Model and the Enneagram.  She works with you to find the outcome you’re looking for and tailors the sessions to what will work best. Book​ a workshop now.

​Strategic Planning & Culture
Madfinch Consulting’s Strategic Planning workshops help you set goals, identify actions and create a happy team culture at the same time.
 
You will come away with a clear sense of where you’re going, your shared purpose and values, and an understanding of your collective power to make change. You’ll have a good picture of the future you want to create, the challenges you need to overcome, and some practical action you can take to achieve your goals.

​Melinda can also help you write a concise strategy document that everyone can understand and sign up to.
 
The Strategic Planning and Culture workshops are for workplace and organisation-based teams, including boards and committees. Recommended timeframe is one to two days. Longer strategy and culture change programs can be developed.

Changemaker Training is for people who want to make change in their community or organisation, including public policy, law reform, service design, systems and social change.

​Unlocking Potential
The organisations that thrive in our complex work environments are those that can cope with uncertainty and generate new ideas from within. It’s hard to have a fresh perspective when you’re just part of the furniture.
 
Madfinch Consulting’s Unlocking Potential workshops help people in organisations bring ‘fresh eyes’ to their work. Melinda helps you clear out old habits and assumptions so you can make way for new opportunities.
 
You will come away with insights into personalities and how to make the most of your skills, knowledge and talents. You will get some practical tools for having creative conversations, asking powerful questions and using your power to make change that matters.
 
Unlocking Potential workshops are for teams and organisations that may be a bit stuck and need to shift gear to make the most of opportunities. Recommended timeframe is one to two days. Longer culture change programs can be developed.
