Introducing our team

Questo is a team of human-centric practitioners who share a desire for better work experiences and workplaces for people.

Our experience in change and learning in organisations is deep but not bound by rigid charts and theories. We are not fazed by disorder and uncertainty. In fact we revel in innovating with what is at hand.

Our clients include organisations, business owners, universities and local government. They choose Questo because we mix expertise and creativity to shape learning experiences that are meaningful and can adapt in making effective change.

People first

As passionate advocates for the human factor, we seek to release the talent and energy that drive sustainable change. We love those moments of delight when people are genuinely engaged and actively part of the learning experience.

Trust

Success comes from a basis of trust and integrity. We do what we say, and say what we mean. We help you explore feasible solutions, and we share our knowledge and experience as we work with you to reveal useful paths in your desired direction.

Design

We are purposeful about what we do. Our actions are guided by design principles and enabled with design sensibilities like empathy, creativity, curiosity and optimism.
