Contact us over at Teal Unicorn

We are a professional services company based in Wellington, NZ.
We provide consulting, training, coaching, and content on management and improvement, across Europe and Asia/Pacific (especially Vietnam), and online. We work under our Teal Unicorn brand, on new ways of working and managing (human systems agility) for a VUCA world. 
Teal Unicorn's motto is "Make work better. Better results, better lives, better society.""

In 2025, Two Hills opened a second division of the company, the Cherry Villa brand, a boutique bed-and-breakfast accommodation in Paraparaumu on the Kapiti Coast of New Zealand, les than an hour north of Wellington. We applly all our own Open principles of business to this new enterprise.

In everything we do at Two Hills, it is all about "sensible business practices":
We are heavy on common sense, as distinct from purist theory. We take a pragmatic, practical approach to deliver the results. We are sceptical of technology or process for its own sake.
Our work is differentiated by our independence, frankness, and Kiwi no-nonsense approach.
We understand business (and public service) imperatives. We are driven by return on investment, cost justification, necessary compliance, and risk control.
We are passionate in our belief that the most essential advancement is the change to management and governance: New Ways Of Managing, Open Management.

Consulting

Two Hills Ltd provides real consulting: we charge for the hours we work and we work only when we are providing useful service to you.

Our primary consultants are Rob England and Dr. Cherry Vu, though we bring in a number of experienced experts to help as needed.

We have been engaged by some of the largest and smallest organisations in New Zealand, Vietnam, Australia, Singapore, Netherlands, Denmark, Canada, UK, and USA (we no longer do business in the USA).

Consulting on advanced IT management, strategy, and governance:
Our expertise is in IT advancement, culture change, leadership, and operational practices: the combination of policy, plans and people to operate the organisation. We work in IT governance, management, and operations.

Rob England is an important voice in what is happening now. And what is about to happen. He is one of the new leaders in my view.

Coaching

In addition to general consulting, we provide practical, tactical management coaching to get results with the advanced Open ways of managing.

(Note: Coaching is not mentoring. We mentor a number of individuals. We don't charge for this, it is by private arrangement, and is not a service of the company).

Content

When you source content from Two Hills, you will get a freshness of viewpoint, an independence of opinion, and an originality of ideas that you won't find in many other providers in the field. Our material is unique. If required, it is also provocative and quirky.


Public speaking:  Rob and Cherry have been invited as keynote speaker at a number of conferences, and invited multiple times by ZeroDX, DevOps Enterprise Summit, itSMF, and Pink Elephant.
We can speak to a wide range of topics.
 

Books: Our books are here.
 

Training

Since I learned from you, I am aware of what I do clearly when I act,
I see the urge to learn to grow my consciousness.
Your method is easy to understand and I can apply it immediately after the training. I got the outcomes immediately.
- CEO
