Why Pax Populus
It’s axiomatic that people make or break business fortunes.
But “people” are not as easily shoe-horned into boxes of value like cost cutting or innovation spending.
The volatility and complexity of today’s business operating environment demands that these “soft” people issues are wrestled to the ground, so they add business value rather than threaten it.
Pax Populus’ Directors Barbara Sharp & Tim Offor each have 30 years of front-line and backroom experience steering boards and c-suite executives through the uncertainties and ambiguities of critical stakeholder relationships.
This depth of knowledge and experience is available to company leaders who want to excel, go beyond compliance, and deliver exceptional shareholder value through their relationships.
We help you seize control and sail smoothly through the treacherous waters of our times.
What’s special
We don’t do Business as Usual stakeholder engagement.
We do “wicked” people problems, where billion-dollar projects, reputations, people’s lives and livelihoods – and society’s progress – are at stake.
As deep and broadly experienced thinkers, we look to solve your problems by pairing our knowledge of society with your knowledge of your business.
Our advice and solutions are bundled with modern technologies that build our clients’ capacity.
We help to make ourselves obsolete.
