Developing great organisations in a sea of change.

Introducing Magus Toolbox

Magus Toolbox provides innovative web-based tools and methodologies for use by members of our growing network of affiliated management consultants. There are proven applications for organisational discovery, change and development; assessment, selection and development of leaders and managers; and organisational problem resolution.

All the tools and methodologies, in different ways, help solve one of the consultants' perennial challenges - by providing the ability to focus top managers' attention on hidden business or organisational issues, in a way that is both acceptable and gets action - fast!

The way we work with our affiliates means that:

The up-front cost of acquisition is very limited - both financially and in terms of consultants' time.
Assignment software costs are a cost-of-sale because of our pay-by-use pricing model.
We do not compete with our affiliates - all end user enquiries are referred to our affiliate network.
Our affiliates gain competitive advantage through a differentiated offer, because we will limit the size of our affiliate network in each country.

By using the Magus Toolbox, our affiliates are able to:

Reduce dependence on day rate work, that demands high consultant utilisation.
Develop additional business through existing, dormant and new client accounts.
Reduce dependence on gaining business through bidding competitions (RFPs / ITTs).
Convert doubting prospects by being able to offer fast-response demonstration packages.
Achieve higher margins whilst offering their clients lower overall project fees.

Some of the key benefits of using the Magus Toolbox are that they:

Enable very fast discovery processes - identifying 'real world' start points for change journeys and other individual or organisational developmental interventions.
Increase the validity of the discovery process and avoid political responses through the use of indirect, observational, non-judgemental questions.
Enable the identification of organisational constraints on employee performance - and get them fixed quickly.
Enable facilitated groups of employees to work out and implement solutions to organisational and performance problems.
Enable the engagement of large numbers of people in change processes, that develops a positive attitude towards change and minimises resistance.
Are action oriented, not report oriented - and action is developed quickly.
