THE COMPANY

Innovative, Practical Organisational Services Consultancy 

Intellumen Pty Ltd is a Canberra-based consultancy established in 2001, which provides a range of specialist professional services that make a positive, practical difference to organisational and individual performance.

Foremost amongst these services is a substantial expertise in the psychological assessment of occupational suitability, particularly in senior or security-designated positions. This skill may be used in support of an organisation or an individual and the assessment is always undertaken by a registered and experienced psychologist. The consultancy has procedures that ensure the confidentiality of these processes.

Intellumen also advises on the leadership and management of change and on the complicated areas of managing terminations and difficult employment situations. As well, it has professional expertise in the fields of conflict resolution and mediation, counselling, coaching and mentoring, and in the resolution of ethical issues. The consultancy also offers professional advice and assistance in all aspects of the staff selection and recruitment process.

The principals of Intellumen are both experienced human resource executives. Michael Brown is a former SES level public sector manager with recent experience at the CEO level in the NGO sector and at Board level in the Finance industry. Pamela Matthews Brown is a registered psychologist and former executive level public sector manager with recent experience as ACT manager of a major national employee assistance provider. The consultancy is also assisted in its work by a further ten highly trained and experienced psychologists.

Among the programs offered by Intellumen is Springboard. Originally developed by the BBC to retain and assist valuable employees, Springboard was introduced to Australia in 1993 and is specifically for women in non-management areas. It is run one day a month over three months and has won the Lady Platt Award for innovative Equal Opportunities Training and the National Training Award (UK) for quality and excellence in training.
