Faster, smarter pathways to performance - powered by YakTrak + GRIST
An australian energy provider’s regional contact centre faced inconsistent coaching and low leader confidence in a highly regulated environment. YakTrak + GRIST introduced a structured coaching rhythm grounded in behavioural science, starting with one high-impact micro-behaviour: delivering a strong statement of assistance. The result? Measurable improvements in NPS, reduced AHT, and growing confidence in leaders. By linking behaviour to outcomes, the program transformed leadership from reactive to proactive, creating a culture where agents and leaders clearly understood what ‘good’ looked like.

Making quality repeatable: how coaching created a consistent customer experience at a big 4 bank
An Australian big 4 bank used YakTrak + GRIST to turn coaching into a system. Signature micro-behaviours made quality repeatable; leaders coached tactically and often. Results followed: AHT down 17.4 seconds, repeat calls from 25% to 19.6% (tracking to 15%), engagement up, and banker attrition down 22% within six months.
Building future leadership skills across a major insurer
This leadership development program for a major insurer targeted 650 leaders across 10 business units, focusing on adaptive leadership and digital skills. Delivered in two 8-week sprints, the program combined workshops, self-paced learning, and peer huddles with a focus on real-world application. Outcomes included a 43% improvement in work methods, a 20% increase in AI usage, and a 13.5% uplift in data maturity. Leaders reported enhanced collaboration, strategic thinking, and time savings, with 94% finding the program valuable for their day-to-day leadership.
Empowering leaders through experimentation
A major health funds LBE Management Development Program transforms leadership capabilities by empowering managers to design and implement innovative "little-big experiments." This dynamic initiative aligns with strategic objectives, enhances stakeholder relationships, and elevates customer experiences.
Transforming stakeholder relationships: from transactional to proactive
A government enterprise recognised a need for People & Culture (P&C) to build more strategic and value-adding relationships internally and externally. They wanted to empower P&C’s Learning & Development (L&D) team to change how they supported the broader business, strategically developing the team to shift from reactive and transactional to proactive and value-adding. GRIST developed the Consulting Skills program to meet this need.
Speaking one language: a culture shift at BankVic yields impressive results
BankVic was seeking an innovative program to enhance their member experience and improve their member lending conversations. They were also looking to increase the consistency and quality of their coaching and people development.
Building leaders of the future at VicRoads
VicRoads wanted a program to build leaders of the future who could grow in their organisation, deliver the best service for their customers, and demonstrate consistent excellence and performance across the business.
Purposeful experimentation resulted in $951M of Funds Under Management for this Super Fund
A Major Australian Super Fund engaged GRIST to help them move away from transactional service conversations and toward more proactive value-adding conversations within their member services contact centre.
First-class behavioural change program yields results
Three years ago Energy Australia set a goal to become one of Australia’s top 5 contact centres. In June, they outranked 60 contact centres to be named the #1 Australian Sales Contact Centre 2020.
The missing piece of the puzzle
Achieving buy-in from teams suffering “change fatigue” is hard work. This organisation embedded GRIST’s micro-behaviour approach, making it their own and achieving extraordinary results. Leaders now coach their people more effectively, and empowered teams are having higher-quality conversations with customers.

Back on track
Delivering consistently high-quality customer experiences at scale is no easy feat. While those who work in customer-facing roles genuinely want to help people, day-to-day demands can nudge teams off target.
