Social enterprise unlocking capability for Defence, government and industry

Better project results, engaged people

We amplify the human quotient—the magic that happens when IQ and EQ come together—to open up spaces for learning, to rapidly uplift capability, and to create new win-win solutions to address challenges critical to Australia’s interests.

As a social enterprise we create career pathways for the Defence veteran community and women and provide a range of supports for career development, wellbeing and community connection.

Our Services

Project Management: Rapid uplift consulting

The shortest critical path to take you from where you are to where you want to be, using our bespoke process.

We offer a fully integrated suite of project and program management services, with a focus on rapid evolution. We can help, whether you need a team member or a focused ‘Tiger Team’ to get projects back on track.

Coaching for veterans

Professional coaching and mentoring services to current/future Defence veterans free-of-charge so they can find the pathway to the employment they want. Empowering Defence members who are transitioning from permanent ADF service provides incredible capability to the nation and reduces the chances of negative impacts from under- and unemployment. 

Cowork Coplay community programs & online workshops

Cowork Coplay gives the partners of current- and ex-serving Defence members a new, exciting option for career development and community connection. We provide a supportive environment and structured curriculum to accelerate the pursuit of meaningful career and employment projects and wellbeing activities.

Our programs and training are helping address unemployment and underemployment to unlock the potential of this talented cohort for the benefits of our nation.

Consulting

Using our project management, innovation and commercial experience, we provide tailored management consulting advice and services for Defence, government and industry clients. Human-amplified, of course.

Training

Bespoke half-day, full-day or multiple day training programs, at your workplace or off-site. Topics include: Defence-informed project management, Integrated Logistics Support, change management and Defence family engagement. 

Career and Life Coaching

One-on-one career and life coaching for people who want to take their personal and professional ambitions to the next level. Our coaches are certified and ready to give you the executive edge.

“In Defence our people are
our most important capability.”

Minister for Defence Personnel, Matt Keogh

We are on a mission to:

1

Deliver professional services and collaborate with partners to improve Defence, government and industry projects

2

Boost wellbeing, employment and education outcomes for the veteran community and women facing workforce participation barriers

3

Provide a great place to work for our employees, where they feel valued, energised and can contribute their skills and enthusiasm

As a social enterprise

We unlock human potential to deliver better project results, while creating employment pathways for women and people connected to Defence service. Our social good is delivered through:

  • direct employment, as a Work Integrated Social Enterprise
  • face-to-face and online programs and training providing upskilling, career development, wellbeing and community connection
  • advocacy, coaching & mentoring services that deliver to the the broader veteran community and women.
