Australia’s trusted firms trust Endeavour

In almost 20 years of business we have worked with some of Australia’s largest and most successful companies including Coca Cola, BHP, NZI (now part of the IAG Group), Westpac, Caltex, Energy Australia, Goodman-Fielder as well as the largest State and Federal Government Departments. We are known as leaders in the field who work for measurable results.

Latest research
‘Towards a Model of Excellence in Local Government Leadership’. Our research report into strategies for creating real responsibility in employees and advancing management practice is receiving widespread interest relating to practical applications. These fit many of today’s organisations where ‘contingency management’ has been the norm and a new direction is needed to move forward.

Research into practice
Thought Leadership is only true leadership if it provides direction to others. Our research is providing the building blocks for the future. CEOs across the country and in N.Z. are working to implement our ideas and we are providing support at conferences and workshops in city and regional centres.

Briefing Government Ministers
Our ‘Thought Leadership’ extends to Government decision making. We have been invited to brief current Ministers in the Federal and State Governments of Australia and in the New Zealand Government.
