The Holos Group

What The Holos Group does

The Holos Group is a Melbourne-based change management and organisational transformation consultancy founded in 2009 by developmental psychologist Dr Richard Harmer. The firm operates as a small network of 1-10 change designers with cross-disciplinary backgrounds in coaching, academia, psychology, and technology, serving enterprise clients across Australia and the broader Asia-Pacific region.

Its offering is organised around four interconnected core services: Strategic Foresight (futures scanning, provocations, and navigation), Strategy Design (strategic clarity, design, and alignment), Leader Development (developmental assessment, coaching, and programs), and Change Implementation (change design, support, and delivery). Underpinning these services is a proprietary body of methods described as adult-development-informed Ways Of Thinking frameworks, agile-informed change implementation approaches, and adaptive leadership praxis grounded in the founder's academic background.

The Holos Group generates revenue through project-based professional services engagements with enterprise clients, delivered via a relationship-driven, sales-led go-to-market model supported by a content ecosystem that includes two podcasts and a Substack newsletter. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and engagements appear to be customised; named customers include Aurecon and Tassal, with documented programs having trained more than 200 professionals across Asia-Pacific.
