About Us

Addvantage 4U works with organisations, teams and individuals to improve business results by quickly and reliably identifying issues impacting effectiveness and supporting the implementation of focused solutions.   

Why Addvantage 4U?

Addvantage 4U combines Verax International Limited’s proven scientifically researched diagnostics with our extensive transformational change programme experience to work with businesses to identify quickly and accurately any changes needed to achieve their objectives. These business objectives could include:

  • Improving business efficiency, performance and results
  • Increasing margins
  • Improving customer satisfaction
  • Strengthening employee engagement
  • Managing change in the workplace to ensure the effective implementation of planned changes such as mergers, corporate restructuring or growth, or the introduction of new systems, technologies or product
  • Developing the human skills that staff need to be effective, from entry to Board level

With Verax’s sophisticated, easy-to-use organisational and behavioural diagnostics, we can identify the impact different elements of a business, including its structures, systems, and operating environment, and the behaviours of individuals and teams have on business results and what changes will have the greatest impact.

We use our transformational change programme expertise to work with businesses to develop, implement and quantify the impact of the change programme they require.

“Addvantage 4U’s timely and accurate analysis of the programme, their clear articulation of issues and priorities and their practical application of programme management techniques played a critical part in developing our forward plan.” – Client
