In many organizations, there is a gap between potential and performance. Formal structures, competing priorities, hierarchies and cultures can create constraints that prevent people from being able to contribute everything they have to offer. As a result, change takes longer and costs more creating a significant reduction in the ROI benefits the organization receives.
It was this realization that ignited the idea for Spare Parts & Gasoline (SP&G) for co-founders Shawn Mahoney and Safora Aziz, along with a deep curiosity about what would happen if we could lift people up, eliminate fear, remove traditional barriers and support them in reaching their full potential. Could we make work better while also solving tough business challenges for our clients?
That’s how SP&G was born. Safora and Shawn’s deep technology and innovation background combined with industry savvy provided a strong foundation for future growth. And they built on this foundation in late 2023, adding more talent to the roster as they started to gain momentum and expand their lines of business based on client and market needs.
Today we’re fuelled by the belief that work can be great and people have more to give when they are given room to grow. By building people up, being curious problem solvers, and taking on tough client problems with kindness, agility and tenacity, the Spare Parts & Gasoline team has now grown to five lines of business. We aspire to work with people to help them reach their full potential while unleashing the talent of our extended community to the benefit of our clients.
We’re not just a consultancy. We’re a movement. And if you’re likeminded, we hope you’ll become a part of our community.
