Truth | Respect | Self-determination
A certified Indigenous business, PwC's Indigenous Consulting is a majority Indigenous owned, led and staffed consulting firm. Our purpose is to enable meaningful change in Indigenous communities by realising futures through Indigenous knowledge.
We believe that meaningful change happens when it is created by Indigenous people, not for Indigenous people. Our desire to create this firm reflects our belief in the rights of our communities to determine their own futures.
PIC is an Indigenous Consulting business which maintains a majority owned, led and staffed Indigenous operation. The Indigenous Co-Owners, have a 51% share in PIC and PwC Australia owns the remaining 49%. We are a separate member firm in the PwC global network.
The unique power of our business is the combination of our Indigenous expertise and experience, with PwC's world-leading professional services capability. Our aim is to help enable positive change by providing trusted professional services and advice to government, corporate and community clients on Indigenous matters.
PIC has a passionate belief that Indigenous people should have the opportunities to fulfil their aspirations. Our desire to create this firm reflects our belief in the rights of our communities to create and determine their own futures. As an Indigenous led partnership with corporate Australia, PIC aims to be an emblem for Indigenous self-determination.
PIC’s culture is firmly grounded in our values and is guided by the following principles:
Enabling meaningful change happens when it's created by Indigenous people, not for Indigenous people. That's why Indigenous ownership, management and delivery is a fundamental ingredient of the PIC business. By combining our understanding of cultural, commercial, and community realities with the significant capabilities of the PwC network, PIC is in an ideal position to help facilitate change.
PIC specialises in providing advice, developing strategies and supporting their execution to help realise the commercial and community potential of Indigenous policies, programs, projects, organisations and businesses. We offer a full suite of consulting services, regularly collaborating with PwC and its extensive array of specialist business services.
Our key service offerings fall under 3 focus areas:
Design
Data
New and more digital ways of working - Lean, Agile, prototyping etc
Testing new products and platforms for applications in our space
Indigenous Systems Design (new way of considering Strategy)
Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing + Fourth Industrial Revolution
Communities building their own evidence and implementing evidence based programs
Working with government and communities to redesign programs and services to improve outcomes
Develop and use Indigenous evaluation principles, methodologies, and tools to evaluate policies, programs and/or services
Work as an implementation partner between governments and community to strengthening capacity of sectors/services/systems and communities to implement change
Generally social policy related but will often use design methodologies and having access to data in forms that can support evaluation, local decision making and to monitor and report on change will be important. (cross competency connections)
Because every one of our client service teams is overseen by our Indigenous owners and serviced by Indigenous led staff, these engagements are informed by our experience, and benefit from our relationships and networks.
In addition to the above, our team can help you understand the key components and the principles underpinning the Commonwealth’s Indigenous Procurement Policy and help you effectively source Indigenous suppliers.
