In today’s episode Nick brings you the first of a 2 part, round 2 interview, with former guest Olly Purnell of Q5 Partners.Originally recorded as one conversation, when we listened back it was clear that there was just so much great content in this one that deserved to stand on its own two feet.In today’s part 1, you’ll hear from Olly Purnell, Managing Partner and Co-Founder of Q5 Partners. In part 2, which we’ll be releasing in two weeks’ time, you’ll hear from Rowenna Reid and Annabel Tonge, all about Q5’s fantastic Pop Up Consulting initiative. One of the few positive things to come out of the last 18 months and something that we believe many consultancies will want to learn from and emulate. Back to today’s episode!Olly originally joined Nick for Episode 12 of the series with Q5 co-founder Sharon Rice-Oxley where they discussed the origins of Q5, their tough first year in business and how they overcame it, as well as the unique approach Q5 took to developing their culture and how they’ve maintained it as they’ve grown. In today’s conversation, Olly and Nick explore how some of these elements have developed, and the new and innovative things that Q5 are doing as they expand. including:-	Q5’s growth over the last few years, why they’ve chosen to follow a regional expansion strategy and Olly’s top tips for making this a success.-	Recruitment and retention in consulting, why people seem to be leaving the industry earlier than they used to and what this means for consulting leaders like you.-	And an introduction to Pop Up Consulting. Why they launched it and why it’s going to continue to be a key part of the business post Covid. It was a pleasure to hear from Olly again and we know you’re really going to really enjoy learning from his insights and experience having successfully growing Q5 to where it is today.

S1E6 The Leadership Magic Sponge - Olly Purnell and Andy Cottrill of Q5

Today’s podcast is the first multi-guest episode for Climb in Consulting as I interview two of the co-founders of Q5 to find out all about their journey – from their decision to launch a consultancy in the middle of the recession to how they grew it to become the award winning, global firm it is today.Having decided he wanted to scratch his own entrepreneurial itch Olly Purnell reached out to Sharon Rice-Oxley and over the course of 2008 they built ‘the band’ that would become the founding team of Q5.As well as aiming to create a consultancy that delivers high quality Organisational Design work for their clients they set out to build a firm that was genuinely different for those they had worked in previously. This is something they’ve successfully achieved and are renowned for both their unique culture (being named top 20 Times Best Small Companies To Work For 2018) as well as their efforts in maintaining a diverse and vibrant work force (over 40% of their senior leadership are female). Olly and Sharon were fantastic guests and it was great to be able to get both of their perspectives on the Q5 journey and their advice to those looking to climb in the industry as well as those thinking of starting their own firms.In this interview we discuss a whole range of topics including:Why Olly and Sharon decided to set up a consulting business and the steps they went through to establish the right founding team for Q5Business planning and what steps they took to set Q5 up for successTheir tough first year in business and how they overcame itOlly and Sharon’s advice to those thinking of starting their own business, in consulting or otherwiseThe unique approach Q5 took to developing their culture and how they’ve maintained it as they’ve grownHow Q5 ensures collaboration amongst the partnership and avoids the common political pitfalls in consultancy firms using their ‘rough justice’ approach to profit sharingHow Q5 have developed such a diverse team and the importance of understanding work in the context of peoples’ wider livesAnd much much more!You can find out more about Olly, Sharon and Q5 at the links below:Olly’s Linked In - https://www.linkedin.com/in/oliver-purnell-6525ab9/Sharon’s Linked In - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharon-rice-oxley-fcipd-144b282/Q5 - http://www.q5partners.com/  Specific things we discuss in the show:Underneath the Lemon Tree: A Memoir of Depression and Recovery by Mark Rice-Oxley - http://amzn.eu/fzo9xZvSwitch: how to change things when change is hard by Chip and Dan Heath -  http://amzn.eu/09NDkDWHow to be Chief Execitive of your own life by Mike Wilson – To purchase a copy please contact Nicola.davies@sjp.co.uk (£10 from each purchase will go to the SJP Foundation)The Founder - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4276820/      The Crazy Gang by Dave Bassett and Wally Downes - http://amzn.eu/dceWhOZ
