Working with trusted associates
Common Ground draws on the expertise of trusted consulting associates, including Belinda Robson and Carol Wu.
Janine, Belinda and Carol worked together at KPMG for many years and have continued to seek each other out for engagements since leaving. They know each other’s strengths and have a well-established way of working together.
They each bring complementary strengths, a shared curiosity about people and organisations, and a genuine enjoyment of working together through complex challenges.
They are experienced consultants who listen carefully, care deeply about the people they work with, and take the time to understand what clients really need. They ask thoughtful questions, challenge assumptions and bring different perspectives to the problems clients are trying to solve.
Their approach is collaborative, candid and grounded in mutual trust — drawing on each other's expertise to produce thoughtful, practical and high-quality outcomes.
