QWhat is the core offering of 15TH Peak Consultancy?
Two words define our offering: Challenge Management. Simply put that means, we help companies tide over Productivity, Business, Strategic and Relationship Challenges by delivering over performance.
QWhat is Challenge Management Consulting?
Challenge Management is a refreshing new way of thinking pioneered by 15TH Peak Consultancy. It operates on the simple premise that human potential is infinite. The moment you see the world from this prism, you’ll come to the conclusion that any challenge is surmountable by any individual or team. Realizing this ideal is possible only if we do two things: a) Define the traits required to scale the challenge and b) Help the individual or team over perform.
QWhat do you mean by over performance?
It is our theory that individuals and teams have come to make fallacious assumptions about their own capabilities. This distortion has crept in because organizations tend to expect superlative performance from only a chosen few and incremental performance from the others. The truth is the silent majority of ‘the others’ in a team are as capable as the superlative performers. They’ve been shackled for long by a lack of self-belief. If the door to self-belief is cranked open, productivity and performance can go up by many notches. The key to unravelling this puzzle lies in making the individual self-aware of his true capacity. If their real potential is pointed out to individuals, there’s a real chance of achieving a performance greater than the assumed potential. And that’s what we mean by over performance.
QWhat are the Types of Challenges you can help us tackle?
We can be of help to you wherever you want over performance. Be it in better team building, productivity enhancement, change management, talent mapping, leadership assessment, goal setting, deadline management or even strategic visioning.
QHow is Challenge Management different from Leadership Coaching?
An organization is a network of people and not a club of leaders. So focusing just on leadership coaching is like solving only part of a problem. What is required is a holistic, across-the-board kind of approach where we arm all employees to raise their performance if the aim is to take the organization to the next level.
QWhat are the components of the consulting work that you do?
An engagement would have a number of the following components -
a) Business Needs Audit
We do this to get up to speed with your specific goals and objectives and issues that are hampering your journey.
b) Leader Briefing and Debriefing
This is where we meet 1:1 with the leader, and understand exactly what they're trying to achieve.
c) 1:1 Confidential Strategy Sessions
This is a very valuable part of the engagement. We meet with each executive on the team, in a 1:1 Confidential Strategy Consultation session.
e) Leadership Mapping
We provide you Leadership Analytic reports which show you how to leverage the talents of your team, how to overcome conflict, strain and tension in the team and accelerate results.
e) Consulting workshops
These sessions are suited to you and your executives.
f) Real-time Executive coaching
If you want to accelerate results, we can attend your strategy offsites/Quarterly Business Reviews, and provide Real-time executive coaching.
g) Customized Leadership Programs
If there are specific objectives that you need to achieve urgently, we can develop a long term leadership development program that is aligned with your HR and Communications team.
h) Executive Support
This is an invaluable part of any of our consulting engagments. We provide a totally confidential avenue for executives to talk to us 1:1 and use our expertise as a sounding board.

QI'm skeptical about engaging consulting companies. What results have you delivered to your clients?
Fair enough. Just visit our PROVEN RESULTS section to get a full-blown view of the kind of value we deliver to our clients.
QDo you work with a specific client in terms of size or industry?
We work across the board, from Multi-National corporations and large local corporates, Not-for-Profit companies; in virtually any industry across the globe.
QHow long does it take to obtain results?
This really depends on the challenge your organization is facing. We have had clients who have had critical issues resolved in a matter of days, whilst others (due to the complexity and scale of the challenge) can take a few months. Our goal is to partner with you and your company throughout this process and help you achieve the results you're after in record time.
QCan you customize an engagement to suit our company goals and unique culture?
Yes we certainly do. We understand each organization is different.
The people in the organization are also unique individuals. We take extra efforts to tailor a customized solution for each client, so that there are no disruptions to the business, there is better buy-in and adoption, and results are quicker to achieve as we're not swimming against the tide.
QWill this interfere with any other training programs or processes we already have in place?
Absolutely not. In fact our clients love the fact that our processes and consulting are complementary to anything else they have in place. We can leverage the work you've already done and help you accelerate your results. We partner closely with your HR and Communications heads so there is absolute alignment with your company's strategic direction.
QI'm interested to learn more. Whom should I contact if I have questions?
Please fill in our Contact Form and one of our consultants will be in touch with you. Don't worry, we're very friendly, and you won't have someone trying to push a sale. We view all our relationships as long-term, and endeavour to add as much value to you. Contact us for a complementary Business Needs Audit. We will deliver value to you even BEFORE you engage us. We’ll both see if we're a right fit, and if you're comfortable, then we can take the next step. You have nothing to lose, and a whole lot to gain. Look forward to hearing from you on how we can help you overcome your challenges and get Performance > Potential.
QHow are your fees structured?
As each client and their challenges are unique, our fees are structured according to the engagement we feel would add the highest value and deliver the best results to you.
Our fees are structured and based around a consulting engagement, rather than the number of hours or days of our work. We find charging by the hour or day is very transactional, and does not give the client a clear definition of costs. Our Value Add Pricing model puts accountability on us to perform, and ensures you never have to worry about the extra hours we work to deliver results.
We would love to talk to you about your specific requirement and structure something that would suit your needs and budget.
QHow does one engage your company?
1. First we conduct a Business Needs Audit. Here we really understand your goals, issues, and do a complete diagnostic and audit of what you’re trying to achieve and the timeframes you’re looking at.
2. We then compile this information, and share with you Leadership Business Acceleration Framework. This shows how we can help add value and structure an engagement based on your unique set of challenges, corporate culture, executive team, strategic initiatives, time constraints and other factors.
3. You review the recommendations and if needed, we make any changes that are needed so we’re fully aligned and ready to add value.
4. Once you give us your go-ahead, we begin our engagement. (For further details please refer to Engagement Model )
5. If anything changes during the engagement (change in team members or initiatives etc.), we can easily and quickly course-correct and rapidly move to help you manage the change.
QWhat if my team changes or our goals or initiatives change halfway through the engagement?
We are very aware of the fast paced world we live in and how change is almost a constant. Rest assured, we are with you all the way.
Our engagements are structured to have consistent two-way communication with you at every juncture so we’re not only aware of what’s going on in your business, we can help you managing change even before it happens.
We consistently help leaders restructure their teams and organizations as needed, to maximize talent and avoid duplication. We can also help assimilate new team members and leaders into the group in a fraction of time it normally takes.
Our Client testimonials echo this sentiment. You never have to be concerned about not having someone there to guide you, advise you and help you achieve results, no matter what the challenge the business world hurls at you.
