Capability Statement
Who We Are
RDL Management Consultants is an Australian-based consultancy with over 20 years of experience delivering leadership development, organisational transformation, and cultural alignment across the Asia–Pacific region.
RDL was started because we found a significant gap in the market where companies were not securing the true value from their leaders and the leadership confidence dropped. This lead to loss if strategic vision and the creation of poor workplace cultures where human robots became the accepted norm.
We specialise in helping government agencies, state-owned enterprises, and private organisations translate strategic intent into measurable impact.
Our work goes beyond programs or workshops. We embed systems, behaviours, and accountability that endure long after our direct involvement, leaving a legacy of capability, alignment, and improved performance. This is why our clients across government and industry continue to choose RDL as their partner of choice.
Our Approach
We don’t deliver generic training, we embed sustainable change. Our method begins with understanding your business from the inside out. Through tailored diagnostics, one-on-one engagements, and deep sector knowledge, we co-design leadership and organisational solutions that are practical, strategic, and aligned with your vision.
Our Team
Our global network of consultants includes industry professors, doctors, organisational psychologists, published authors, accredited executive coaches, university lecturers, and former educators, each bringing a distinct expertise that ensures we match the right consultant to each client’s context. All are professionally qualified and united by one goal: to help leaders and organisations thrive.
Mission, Vision and Values
Mission
To partner with leaders and organisations to build clarity, accountability, and measurable outcomes that create lasting transformation, a legacy of leadership.
Vision
To be the trusted provider of leadership and organisational transformation services for government and enterprise, recognised for delivering sustainable impact that lasts.
Values
Integrity – principled, transparent, and consistent in all we do.
Accountability – clarity of commitments and delivery.
Respect – fostering inclusion and trust in every engagement.
Impact – transformation that is practical, measurable, and enduring.
The problem we solve
RDL specialises in solving leadership drift, the quiet breakdown that occurs when leaders become reactive rather than intentional and lose the self belief to hold people accountable.
When drift takes hold, strategy loses traction, culture fragments, decision making slows, and organisations fill with what we call human robots — people who are busy, compliant, but not thinking or driving outcomes.
This is the hidden trigger of strategic drift, cultural decay and performance decline.
RDL intervenes early and decisively, rebuilding leadership conviction, accountability systems and execution rhythm before momentum is lost.
We don’t just improve leaders, we leave behind leadership legacies that endure without external reliance.
Solutions We Provide
Leadership development and executive coaching — rebuilding clarity, conviction and execution discipline before drift becomes decline
Succession and leadership pipeline development — ensuring future leaders are ready, not just in position
Shadow coaching and real-time leadership intervention — course-correcting behaviour in the moments that matter
Cultural and accountability transformation — replacing passive compliance with owned responsibility
Strategic planning and executive facilitation — ensuring strategy is not only set, but executed with alignment and pace
Workforce capability and structure alignment — building teams that can deliver independently, not rely on individuals
Change leadership and transformation delivery — embedding behaviours that sustain long after external support exits
Our Distinct Advantage
RDL’s strength is in delivering measurable transformation that endures. We work alongside government agencies, state-owned enterprises, and private organisations to create legacies of success by equipping people, systems, and cultures to perform at their peak.
1. Proven Government ExpertiseWe have partnered with agencies and enterprises across Australia and PNG to address cultural alignment, leadership accountability, and system-wide transformation.
Our approach is practical, results-focused, and trusted by executive leaders.
2. Measured OutcomesEvery engagement is anchored to clear success metrics. We measure progress through leadership accountability, improved decision-making, cultural cohesion, and organisational performance, ensuring transformation is visible, sustainable, and measurable.
3. Hands-On PartnershipWe do not just deliver theory. We work side by side with boards, executives, and frontline teams to embed behaviours, systems, and rhythms that remain long after our engagement ends.
Our goal is not only to achieve change, but to leave behind the capability for continued success.

Testimonials
Working with RDL has been an absolute game-changer. Their coaching has helped me zoom out, shift my perspective, and focus on what truly matters – my people and priorities. By doing so, I’ve been able to build a stronger team, foster a better culture, and ultimately develop a more effective strategy.
RDL’s approach is insightful, challenging in all the right ways, and deeply impactful. They have a way of cutting through the noise and guiding you toward clarity and action. Their coaching isn’t just about professional growth, it’s about becoming a better leader who empowers those around you.
If you’re looking for a coach who genuinely understands leadership, team dynamics, and strategic thinking, I can’t recommend RDL highly enough. Their impact goes beyond just the sessions, his insights and frameworks have shaped the way I lead every day.
Nick Clark – Creative Director – Nomad
“Over the past few years, I’ve had the privilege of working with Robert de Loryn and RDL across three different organizations—and each time, they have delivered meaningful, lasting impact.
At Digicel, RDL facilitated the Aspire program for leaders across Papua New Guinea and the Pacific Islands. With 57 participants, their delivery was both culturally attuned and results-focused.
At ANZ, they led the Management Fundamentals Program, guiding 20 emerging leaders through a well-rounded journey of leadership training, strategy, culture transformation projects, and executive coaching.
Kina Bank, RDL is conducting a 3–6 month Executive Leadership Coaching program for some of our senior executives. Their work is already creating visible shifts in leadership capability and alignment.
RDL brings consistency, insight, and a unique ability to connect across cultures and contexts. Their contribution to leadership development has been profound—and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any organisation investing in its people.”
Ann Steele – EGM People & Culture Kina Bank, Papua New Guinea
Heineken Group
“RDL has been a major force behind our companies efforts to build a new customer service culture in our Business. The combination of International Best Practice with local practical knowledge provides a solid and sustainable basis from which to work.
Our staff look forward to working with RDL.”
“RDL challenges you as a leader in ways that may at first seem unconventional. Questioning core principles, challenging your relationship priorities and driving for ultimate personal and professional accountability, RDL extracts the best version of yourself to lead and set examples for your family and teams.”
Richard Corney – Managing Director – Flight Coffee Group
Customer Service Philosophy
Our approach is built on partnership, not prescription. We listen deeply, diagnose with clarity, and co-design solutions that reflect the realities of each client.
We hold ourselves accountable to the same standards we ask of leaders: clarity of commitment, measurable progress, and sustained delivery.
Call to Action – Legacies at RDL
At RDL, we believe real transformation is not measured by what happens during our engagement, but by what endures after it.
We leave behind leadership systems, cultural practices, and accountable behaviours that continue to drive performance long into the future.
