WHAT WE DO
We're Apricot Consulting, Australia's leading organisational health consulting firm.
We were founded in 2003 when our Founder identified the need for organisations to focus more intentionally on the human side of business to drive commercial outcomes. This belief has been reaffirmed by our years of experience in leadership training, Executive coaching, culture change, change management, corporate social responsibility programs, and digital transformation.
Our unique methodology and data driven toolkits based on 7 key areas of health underpin and integrate all our services to ensure that businesses achieve an improvement in social and commercial outcomes.
Our team is comprised of highly-knowledgable and skilled consultants with years of experience within organisational health transformation and our service advisory, strategy and management are unlike anything you've seen in the market.

Our Approach
Apricot Consulting, leaning on more than 15 years in extensive work with executive teams, explored what makes teams and organisations healthy. We determined seven key areas that resonated with healthy teams and organisations after conducting extensive investigative conversations with clients and industry experts. We determined that success in the following key areas would result in a healthy organisation: Purpose, Leadership, Communication, Engagement, Innovation, Accountability, and Agility.

Coaching
I have worked with Derek, Apricot's CEO, for over 15 years. Derek is without question honest and trustworthy. He is thought-provoking and has stimulated action-oriented outcomes from my work and life’s occasionally complex challenges. Derek brings a new dimension to discussions, which drive new idea’s that are not possible in normal business discussions.
