The SEQUUS Story

Sequus International

Management: Consulting Education Development

Sequus is a management and organizational consulting, education, training and publishing company.  It assesses needs, designs the response in consultation with its clients, delivers the service to the client's specifications, and assesses the results.  Its years of experience means it rarely has to start from zero.  Sequus is constantly evaluating the results of this work and passing on what we have learned to our clients.  We have a Mission, Vision and a Set of Core Value statements by which we wish to be judged. If we fail to live up to them, let us know.

Sequus was created by its four founders in 1993. They all worked together at the Manitoba Institute of Management (MIM), a private, non-profit corporation created by the business community of Manitoba but with a world-wide reputation for excellence in a number of fields.

The four founders, Glen Husack, Ralph Brown, Brian Trump and Al Holmes collectively have well over 100 years of consulting experience behind them. They cover a broad range of services and have learned to draw in others when they need to.

DIVERSE CLIENT BASE: Our clients include large financial service, retail, manufacturing, communications, and distribution companies as well as the tiny 'corner store"  businesses.  We also work with large international non-profit organizations as well as small volunteer community groups.  Our client base extends from municipal, to provincial, to federal, to multilateral government departments and agencies.  It also ranges from local cooperatives to provincial and national cooperative coalitions.  It includes First Nation communities in the remote parts of Canada and sophisticated, urban aboriginal organizations operating on a national scale.

WORLD WIDE EXPERIENCE: We are proud of the fact that we have worked with clients in every nook and cranny of Winnipeg and throughout the far reaches of our home province of Manitoba. As well we have served every province and territory of Canada and have worked in the US, Europe, Asia, South East Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America.  Visit our International Development page to learn more.

SEQUUS VALUES AND BELIEFS

... about the products and services that we provide

We strive to develop or find the best management tools, techniques, models, guides, theories etc. available. In collaboration with leaders in the field, we adapt and adjust our products and services to respond to the ever-changing needs of our clients and only encourage their use when we have become convinced that they will work.rk.

... about our clients

We see our clients as a group of highly dedicated, competent and committed individuals working to solve real and important organization problems or to pursue new opportunities, but who occasionally are short of time, lack some specialized knowledge or process, or are in need of an alternative perspective which leads them to call on our assistance.

... about the methods we use...

Our methods are based on a belief that we are more effective when we collaborate, lead, follow or explore with our clients depending upon their needs, and when we strive to help them become independent of us as quickly as possible.

... about the trainers and consultants with whom we associate

We supplement the resources of SEQUUS with other professionals who are firmly rooted in theory and research, who have experience across a wide variety of organizations and sectors, who both teach and consult, who are committed to the success and independence of their clients and who are, themselves, still excited by new learnings and who are open to new discoveries as they work.

.... about any resources entrusted to our care

We are well aware that resources today are especially scarce and precious. We are committed to providing the maximum benefit for the available funds and to finding creative ways to stretch those funds.

... about our competitors...

We believe that there is more need for quality management services than the suppliers can provide. Therefore we can readily afford to collaborate with, supply to, refer to, and share work with others in the same field with the end goal of improving the success of our clients.
