Independent

Apogee is not restricted to dogmatically follow static models of yesteryear, dictated by administrators removed from the local talent market. We have the freedom to be agile, innovative and bring our considerable personal acumen to the fore to solve even the toughest of people challenges.

Tailored

We’re not hemmed in by a one-size-fits-all approach. We can tailor our approach and program solutions to best meet your needs. We flex to you rather than you flexing to preconceived ideas, methods and models.

Experienced

As previous senior leaders in the Western Australian business community, we understand the unique challenges and operating environment of the WA labour market and the personal challenges this can present to the people who work in it. With this innate understanding, our insights and recommendations come to you applied, thorough, effective and built to translate into the dynamics of the local economy.

Positivity

We believe in what is possible rather than what has always been is. Belief in the individual, in the team and in the organisation abounds. Opportunity is there to be grasped.

Authenticity

We’re relatable individuals and clear, compelling communicators. We’ve seen the work we do move the needle in the organisations we’ve helped, so we’re confident but realistic about what we can achieve together.

Wisdom

We’re not a cookie cutter consultancy with scant regard for need and practicality. We apply acumen, insight and experience when drawing on our storied history of helping. We have real world understanding of what works and what doesn’t.

Warmth

We’re people people. We’ve managed people. We lead people. We’ve inspired people. We’re here to help.
