2. CORPORATE OVERVIEW
The Mindset Group is a consultancy group that enables organisations to execute
their business strategy through three key areas of Transformation, Talent and
Technology.
Transformation is the process of aligning business, people and process strategies
to drive and sustain a change in the mindset of the organisation and its people.
Talent secures an organisation’s capabilities through the recruitment, strategic
planning and retention of their people to ensure they have the correct skill sets
now and in the future to drive their business.
Technology drives the engagement of the workforce through the
implementation and integration of a tool set(s) that drives strategic alignment,
improved capability and increased engagement.
Through the engagement of one, two or all three key areas, Mindset is able to
provide the expertise and tools to assist leaders to transform their organisation’s
culture, capability and processes, thereby sustaining change for themselves,
their people and society.
The Mindset Group was originally known as Odin Consulting and was started in
2002 by practice owners, Don Holley and Aaron Dodd.
In 2009, Odin Consulting re-branded and re-structured and, since then has been
known as Mindset. With the re-brand came a re-focus on core business
competencies, from which the three T’s were derived – Transformation, Talent
and Technology.
Mindset’s vision for its future is to be known as a leading provider of change
enablement and people alignment services to mid to large sized organisations in
the Pacific Region.
