YOUR BUSINESS DESERVES CONSULTANTS THAT ARE FOCUSED ENTIRELY ON YOU

WHO WE ARE

Ero Co was built to provide support that is pragmatic, honest and delivered in plain English.

We are consultants that seek to support, not sell. We provide insights and delivery that balance good ideas with the gritty reality of business and government.

Vivienne Groves

Viv supports clients in the corporate, education, government and not-for-profit sectors. She helps with org design, op model, transformation, cost out, strategy, culture, leadership, policy and business strategy.

She was trained as a consultant at McKinsey, led teams to execute at Wesfarmers and SEEK, and then returned to consulting at Strategy&/PwC.

An economist at heart – she has a PhD in Personnel Economics from the Stanford Graduate School of Business – Viv hates waste and cares about incentives. She founded Ero Co to ensure clients were always receiving value for money and solutions that are both profit maximising and motivating for people.

First and foremost, Viv listens. She does so with empathy, clarity of communication and pragmatism, as well as with the important external perspective and clarity that consultants can bring. She partners with her clients to solve problems together. She is ambitious and optimistic for her clients. Viv thrives on learning and helps her clients do the same.

Like many women, when she’s not working, Viv is with her kids, and when she’s not with her kids, she is working.

We bring the people you require

Ero Co’s network of senior experts are wise and experienced in strategy and markets, HR, transformation, organisational effectiveness and Tech and AI. They talk even straighter than Viv, but with just as much care, as Viv does.
Viv adores working with people who bring capabilities that she does not, because she loves to learn. And you will too.
We bring on senior experts where it makes sense for the project and when you’d be better off working directly with them, we help you do that too.
Smarter. Lovelier. Glasses, even rosier. They build models with beautiful structure and analytics with clarity of thought. They share ideas proudly - and we listen closely. They produce slides only when necessary. They are great with AI.
We adore them, but we bring them onto your project only when useful.
We work with them too. Ero Co has strong connections with many of the top-tier, mid-tier and small scale consulting companies. We work delightfully along side them and will happily partner up with them to bring you the best solution for the job.

Ero Co brings on the right people for the job. Whatever the best combination of senior experts, team, Viv or partner consulting company, we will always recommend the solution we believe best suits your need, not our balance sheet.
