Many things contributed to our win; however, the CBA prep would be one of — if not the most important — part of our winning strategy. Without M&M's professional guidance and well-structured training program, the outcome of the bid may have been different. We were lucky to have M&M on our team and we are excited to continue working with them during the execution of the project.
Partnering with M&M feels like bringing in an elite performance coach who knows exactly how to turn a gifted squad into a championship side. They use mock behavioural assessments, rapid-fire feedback loops, and data-driven personality insights to surface the habits that unlock trust under pressure. M&M re-casts behavioural interviews from a hurdle to be cleared into a stage on which the team’s best, most authentic self can perform at full throttle.
The M&M team always exceeds my expectations. They bring together multi-organisation, multicultural teams like no one else — so well that our clients consistently notice, often resulting in high scores. Their preparation for both traditional and CBA-style interviews is spot-on; we go in confident, ready, and completely aligned. I’d work with them again in a heartbeat — and hope to on our next project!
I have worked with the M&M team for the past five years. Emily and Sarah are passionate, caring and professional in every role that they undertake. Whether it be coaching a group to work better together or mentoring an individual to recognise their strengths, the M&M team will work with you to achieve your goals and take to you to success.
Mahoney & Matthews is a rare commodity in the project and programme world, marrying the expertise of team development and coaching with real mega project and programme experience and understanding. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services if you are looking for a can-do attitude, bespoke solutions and tangible benefits centred around building collaboration. I find them very easy to work with, trustworthy and reliable. They are also a lot of fun!
Sarah and Emily played a huge role in helping our team grow — their support around leadership, communication, and teaming made a real difference. They brought so much insight and energy, and helped us become a stronger, more collaborative group.
I have been fortunate to work with M&M over several years and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. They make it personal. They take a deep personal interest in ensuring our teams meet our goals. Our success is their success — plain and simple. What is perhaps more impressive is how they are able to make real personal connections with everyone they work with. It really feels genuine and makes working with their team a pleasure.
Sarah and Emily from M&M were instrumental at the outset of a strategic pursuit, helping us come together, collaborate effectively and build a strong team dynamic. Through a series of thoughtfully designed workshops, they challenged us appropriately, steered us in the right direction and created real momentum that carried us forward.
There's no one better to bring together a group of people under a collaborative and collective mindset. The magic M&M has been able to work to bring together teams has been crucial in making the Alliance the success it has been.
Outstanding collaboration coaches. Having partnered with M&M on several projects, our teams have greatly benefited from their expertise in collaborative working, their deep understanding of procurement models, and their strong commitment to building effective partnerships.
Working with M&M is a seamless and well-organised process. Emily and Sarah are strong and efficient individuals who understand the realities of collaborative delivery and effectively coach teams through early phases. They share their expertise to lead teams from formation to success. Emily and Sarah are charismatic and effective facilitators who effectively lead a team through forming, storming, norming, and leave you performing.
Working with M&M on the Collaborative Behavioural Assessment training process has been an outstanding experience. Their expertise, clarity, and genuine partnership with our team have made a complex process both enjoyable and impactful. This collaboration has elevated our team's ability to connect and build relationships with each other and the client beyond the traditional project engagement approach. They make approaching a behavioural assessment fun, offering the team greater insight and consistency to be successful.
M&M enlightened us on the entire Collaborative Behaviour Assessment process. It’s not just a few days of training: they invest time and energy to get to know the team and senior leadership. They help us establish better connections amongst ourselves before we spend any time with the client. They are also an amazing resource for all other aspects of our pursuit, from pre-event coaching to proposal narrative feedback. All-in-all, it’s been a positive experience.
