Company Background
Baycorp Advantage was the leading provider of debt management solutions, credit reporting services and marketing analytics services in Australasia with a range of products and services to help organisations make more informed and profitable customer management decisions.
In 2006 the debt collection component of the business was separated and become Baycorp, whilst the credit reporting and analytics solutions parts of the business transferred into the newly created trans-Tasman business Veda Advantage.
About this body of work
As a Leader and Organisational Development specialist within the business, this large and lengthy body of work entailed the collaborative development of a range of tightly integrated initiatives designed to build employee engagement levels, develop the culture and to create a high performance environmental system. These interventions addressed organisational purpose, culture, values, leadership and a range of core human capital management processes, and the linkages to employee engagement levels and ultimately organisational performance.
Leveraging the combination of subject matter expertise and a true OD approach, detailed development of each of the initiatives and their implementation was a highly collaborative process characterised by very close interaction with members of the human resources team, members of the trans-Tasman SLG as well as the Executive. The approach, organisational mandate and dedicated focus led to many outstanding organisational outcomes including the creation of a highly integrated and coherent environmental system designed to deliver sustainable high level performance.
The development of leadership capability, culture, core strategic people management processes and the alignment of these with the organisation's purpose and values not only produced a significantly more engaged workforce and better performing company, but also placed Baycorp Advantage in a state of readiness to embark on its subsequent B3 Transformation programme.
