hgkc Leadership - 'People Are The Key'

What is Leadership?

Good leaders set challenging targets, act decisively and strive to stand out against their competitors. To be a leader you need to possess a set of skills that allow you to communicate your ideas effectively, motivating your people to act and follow your example.

Leaders Create Strategy

By understanding their teams’ strengths and weaknesses, leaders create strategies to maximize the strengths of their people, to best achieve their goals. This will help your people work together as a team and see you as part of the team as well.

Innovation strategy

hgkc Innovation - 'Putting Innovation Into Action'

What is Innovation?

Something different that creates value, the lifeblood of every organisation. Innovation will help you to keep up with your competitors, adopt new technologies to drive change in your market, get ahead of potential disruptions to your business, or drive industry disruption.

Why Should You Innovate?

Innovation is positive, it keeps you moving forward, it leads to growth.  We help our clients build an innovation strategy that helps them grow their business.

Exit planning advice

hgkc Exit Planning - 'It's Never Too Early'

What Is An Exit Strategy?

A business exit strategy is when a business owner is preparing to exit from his or her own company. It helps them ensure that their business is where it needs to be to maximise for the future. You will be able to plan for the future of your company, understand your bottom line, and help make sure that you have a successful and efficient exit.

Why Do You Need Exit Planning Advice?

Through planning and preparation, you can make sure that you are leaving your business in capable hands, allowing you to exit peacefully without worrying about the state of your company.


hgkc challenge our clients to evolve and overcome their challenges.

Success comes from having a clear strategy. Your plan has to be communicated to everyone in your business and leaders need to be confident in their decision making empowering their team. So, if you want to improve employee engagement, pivot your innovations to new markets, or are planning your exit from the business, hgkc is here to help and our team of experts will support your journey to reach your North Star

People are the Key: Kim Jones talks to Jeremy Marchant about conflict in the workplace

People are the Key: Kim Jones talks to Jeremy Marchant about conflict in the workplace

People are the Key is a collaboration between hgkc, Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace and DISCsimple, experts who work with businesses and other organisations that have issues with conflict and employee engagement.


In this prerecorded conversation, Kim Jones and Jeremy Marchant explore why conflict can sometimes be perpetuated within the organisation when the cause of it is outside; what is meant by trust and trustworthiness, and why for some people it is so difficult to make that first step towards trust; conclude that without any conflict – grist in the mil – decision making becomes ineffective; and discuss the difference between stress and pressure.

My outcomes mapping with hgkc has changed the way I look at short, medium and long-term planning in my business. Starting from the ultimate outcome and establishing ''what has to be true?'' for this outcome to be realised. This process of working backwards from outcomes establishes a thorough plan, which then sets out a path to achieving my goals.

After many sessions of this type with hgkc, ''what has to be true?'' has become a bit of a catchphrase around the office, and helps me and my team assess targets and problems throughout the business even outside of the sessions themselves.

Steve Mueller, Temple Homes

hgkc was born from the realisation that together our combined practical experience and knowledge can offer our clients a broader, deeper and richer experience that will deliver better results faster.
