Jumpstart Academy: UPLIFTING TRANSFORMATION Capability across Defence
“Flux’s comprehensive immersion training program has transformed our internal consulting team capabilities. Through over 30 hours of learning and practical application through a case study, our team can now consistently and confidently facilitate complex discussions, support teams with structuring projects and knowing how to mobilise with intent”
CONTEXT
The Department’s strategy has set out to significantly invest in program delivery capability and ensure investment is used effectively to protect Australia. An in-house consulting team has been stood up to act as a small pool of internal consultants, guiding and support the department’s most challenging projects and ensure they are an informed and coherent buyer and user of external workforce with an internal delivery capability to support projects.
“The Jumpstart sessions were highly engaging and immediately useful. Our team gained practical skills, aligned on approaches, and felt confident applying the methodology to real challenges.”
THE ASK
Flux was engaged to develop a customised Jumpstart toolkit and coaching program, to enable the in-house consulting team to confidently adopt and deliver the methodology to clients. They ran a comprehensive training program, including 10 detailed briefings and three full-day in-person immersion sessions. Participants applied Jumpstart tools and frameworks to a realistic case study, practicing solutions to typical transformational challenges and building practical, ready-to-use skills.
“I’ve been doing this for 30 years, I recognise and use a lot of the methods, but having it so well structured and accessible is going to be incredibly powerful with our clients”
IMPACT
The in-house consulting team are now fully immersed in the Jumpstart methodology, equipped with the tools, methods, and facilitation skills to guide teams through complex initiative planning and delivery. The training has created a sustainable internal capability, reducing reliance on external consultants while ensuring consistent application of the methodology.
