We're innovation experts, with a difference. That difference is 'community' and the understanding that collaboration is key to innovation, and innovation is essential to growth.
In 2006, Hargraves started with a conversation. Today, we’re Australia’s first innovation consultancy founded on community and collaboration — a global community including leaders, partners and experts.
Our unique approach focuses on people-first – people, process, ideas and collaboration – to build relationships and strengthen culture (learning and working together). With ideas-first to improve strategy execution (making change happen).
With extensive experience backed by a proven approach, our experts will empower you with the tools and knowledge you need to succeed – developing confident leaders, thriving teams, and high-performing organisations.
Or, to kick-start your team’s transformation, explore our range of downloadable tools and DIY resources.

Are you a people leader?
When you think about your team, are you confident that everyone is engaged?
Performance and productivity start with healthy collaboration. Different people with diverse backgrounds and experiences. Talking easily, listening and learning from each other. Building genuine, trusting relationships where everyone feels safe to step up.
To nurture a thriving, diverse team, the first step is to understand healthy collaboration.

Are you an innovation leader?
When you think about your team, are you confident that everyone is open to change?
An innovation mindset encourages us to constantly review what we do and how we do it, improving how we execute strategy and creating better solutions for your customer and your organisation.
To embed innovation into your everyday, the first step is to understand your role in making innovation happen.
What people say about Hargraves
Awesome feedback from everyone. They are all saying it’s our best Connect event yet! Thank you [Allan] for your great presentation. No risk of anyone falling asleep with all that audience participation and learning.
Winc
This was one of the most valuable training sessions I’ve ever done. Very clear concepts, well expressed and extremely applicable in both my personal and professional life. I feel like my eyes have been opened (and mind blown at times).
Public Sector
[The Collaborative Circle] was a truly valuable opportunity to connect with and learn from others facing the same challenges, regardless of industry and organisation size and dynamic.
IAG
Tess was a wonderful facilitator. Warm and inclusive yet able to challenge us and push us to new ways of thinking. She was an excellent listener, drew out the quieter members of the group and created a safe space for people to share.
Public Sector
Allan was the keynote speaker at our innovation roadshow events. He distilled key messages down to simple, engaging bites that the staff could immediately relate to, demystifying the process of innovation.
CBRE
A Collaborative Circle provides an incredible depth of insights, contacts and ideas that can be taken away and used immediately, all for a small investment of a few hours. Very rich and meaningful.
BGIS
Thank you to Tess for an excellent program on innovation mindset. I found the course material succinct, it included some helpful tools and excellent references to books, blogs etc and it was great to learn from other participants. Changing my mindset to ask ‘Yes And’, instead of ‘Yes But’ is now a habit thanks to the program.

Confidence doesn’t come from results; confidence comes from training and a mindset that leads to results.
