Goulburn Valley Water, VIC — Case Study
Creating high performing team, reducing stress and poor communication at Goulburn Valley Water.
Goulburn Valley Water first partnered with Griffith Consulting in 2015, when the first group of 22 leaders participated in our Leadership & Culture Program.

Christina Bassani, Manager People & Well-Being for Goulburn Valley Water has described the organisations results and experience with Griffith Consulting’s Leadership & Culture Program; “Griffith’s leadership program offering is different. The focus of the program is on the whole person, not just skills and tasks aligned to management.
The program is designed for each individual to focus inside – out. This way each person reflects on their individuality, their wellbeing and their leadership style.
It enables them to focus on making a commitment to themselves to be the best version of themselves they can possibly be. This then extends to being the best type of leader. Which in turn helps us create a wonderful culture.”
“The coaching module allows people to openly discuss their concerns and work through them with great solutions. Participants reported an overall improvement of 22% in their one to one engagement and coaching style of leadership at the end of the program. The program has an underpinning theme of managing stress. All facets of information is given to be able to do this better and incorporate techniques into our daily lives.”
