Our commitment
We strive to provide organisations with truly value-added, cost-effective solutions which respect their need to invest wisely in consultancy services and see a measurable return on that investment.

Our organisation
In today's highly competitive global environment successful organisations are those which accept the constant need to challenge their assumptions, reappraise their strategic objectives and create a positive process of change through their greatest asset - their people.

Whilst any change programme must be part of a holistic strategy, we at Portland International focus particularly on the people dimension, drawing upon an integrated portfolio of organisational development tools and proven change methodologies. This enables our client organisations and their people to capitalise on and benefit from change, whilst retaining focus, stability and energy within an empowering business culture.

In essence, we support business leaders in translating their values and purpose into an organisational development and human resource strategy and action plan, delivered through highly-focused business teams who clearly understand and are fully committed to the business mission.

Our services
Established in 1988, Portland International provides specialist expertise in all aspects of organisational development, change management and resourcing from full strategic reviews, top level change planning, leadership development and culture change programmes to the delivery of specific, targeted solutions to immediate human resource problems.

Working in partnership with our clients, we use our extensive market knowledge and expertise in the international business arena to search, assess and select the right people to implement the organisation's vision and business strategy.
We help retain and maximise the effectiveness of people through continuous performance management, involving competency-based assessment and development as well as bespoke training and development programmes. And, when an organisation is undergoing a period of renewal and transformation, we offer person-centred career transition and outplacement programmes as well as stress and work-related counselling programmes.

Recognising the need to integrate people and technology and to exploit opportunities presented by the internet and advanced telecommunications, we can also assist companies to operate in a more virtual manner, egg in the areas of call centre and outsourcing consultancy as well as virtual management development.

Our newest division, Coach International, established in 1997, provides leadership and performance coaching and career transition coaching as well as coach and mentor development, ensuring that changes in the organisation's culture, attitude and performance can be sustained long term and that knowledge is retained and transferred to secure its future success.
