One that proves commercial success and Indigenous partnership aren't just compatible, they're better together.
We founded Murri Group because the best projects create value for everyone. For too long, advisory firms have treated corporate objectives and community interests as separate worlds.
As Indigenous leaders and as executives from Australia's largest resource companies, we developed something unique: Dual Fluency. The ability to speak the language of capital and Country with equal credibility.
This fluency translates commercial objectives into community value, and cultural imperatives into bankable strategy. When we're in the room, conversations change.
Murri is a values-driven company, and our values are fundamental to how we approach everything we do.
Demonstrating our values, and the behaviors associated with them, is as important as the results of our work. And those values manifest not only in how we relate to each other but how we work. How we make an impact is just as important as the impact itself.
Growth happens outside comfort zones. Being vulnerable means sharing ideas, taking risks, and learning from failure. It builds authentic relationships and creates space for real feedback. We support each other through challenges, knowing that's where breakthrough thinking happens.
Feedback drives our growth as individuals, teams, and a company. It takes humility to seek it out and wisdom to apply it well. We share feedback with care and receive it with openness, knowing that letting go of perfectionism creates room for real improvement.
If we're going to move at the speed our clients need, we need to trust people to own decisions, learn from them, and share the outcomes. This keeps us moving faster than if we always seek group consensus.
The starting point for any decision should be "who's the best person to make this call?" Trust that person to gather input, consult others, and make the decision. Even if we don't agree, we support it and learn from the outcome.
We optimise for making lots of decisions simultaneously and commit to learning from them. Before others can trust you to make decisions, you need to demonstrate that you trust them too.
While our first three values focus on individual behaviors, they can't fully exist without mutuality, the reciprocal support of others. We care deeply about each other, our clients, and our communities.
Growing by growing others is about empathy, connection, and recognition. It's about supporting others and knowing they're here to support you. It's about applying your unique skills to lift others up and help them succeed. And it's about recognising those who've helped you achieve your success.
For us, this extends beyond our team to the communities we work with, creating opportunities, building capability, and ensuring our success creates success for others.
