Practicus began with three founders who had a vision for changing the way organisations went about delivering change. Surely, there had to be a better choice for getting the skills and support they needed without turning to the traditional agency and consultancy models?
They identified that clients were crying out for someone who could work in partnership with them to deliver change. They needed someone who could be trusted to properly understand their challenges and deliver the right people and support aligned to their outcome.

Importantly, this couldn’t be a company motivated by the need to get permanent employees off the bench. It had to be about putting the right individuals on site, and quickly: people who had worked in the industry before with a demonstrable legacy of successfully delivering on similar challenges and change initiatives. These had to be ‘hands on’ people who could hit the ground running and start delivering from day one.
This is the heart of the Practicus business.
What we cover
All institutions strive to be better at what they do (Business Improvement & Process Re-engineering) and this inevitably leads to change (Change, Transition & Transformation).
One of the key disciplines around business performance improvement is turning data into actionable intelligence (Business Intelligence, Data Analytics, Customer Insight) and associated with any change is risk, which needs to be fully understood and mitigated (Risk and Governance).
There is a real shortage of strong practitioners in these areas in Australia.
Practicus has carefully and deliberately chosen these markets to focus on because it has a global reach and network of proven Practitioners with track records in these areas. We quietly bring some of the best talent to the clients who elect to engage us, talent that in many cases our competitors have no knowledge of.
About Practicus globally
The business has seven offices world-wide with long-standing networks established in Australia, UK, and mainland Europe. In the southern hemisphere it has offices both in Sydney and in Melbourne. The business was founded in the UK in early 2004, but the founders of Practicus have been helping companies deliver change and transformation through the provision of high quality project and program managers for more than a decade.
