**About Q5**

Q5 is an international award-winning consulting firm that helps organisations be the best they can be. Q5 are trusted advisors to the world’s most high performing organisations. They help to nurture good "organisational health" so that high performing organisations can remain at the top of their game, and those who are struggling can take action and improve.

Organisational health is complex - so each Q5 intervention is unique, so whether an organisation has a strategic conundrum, market opportunity or operational gripe, we work with them to make things better.

Q5 was founded in London in 2009, and has since grown to have eight global offices, including in Melbourne and Sydney.
