You are here because you need Organisation Development or Design expertise…
​
We get beyond the labels. We take a grounded and pragmatic approach to theories, tools and models, and draw on different practices dependent on your need and context. We don't slavishly adherence to one school of thought.
​
That means listening first to your story before deciding which body of knowledge or skillset is most useful.
​
If the answer was in a label, model or theory, life would be easy…
We see too many clients focus narrowly on either Organisation Development or Design, one ending up as secondary to the other. Organisation Design-driven transformation that draws new boxes around things without taking into account people and culture. Or Organisation Development as a dark art that is there to help people relate to each other better whilst missing the importance of structural or process change.
​
Some of us are known as ‘experts’ in our field, but more than anything we bring a grounded pragmatism to change when we work with you.
​
Drop us a line if you want to learn how to organize in a way that draws on ideas and practices from a variety of relevant disciplines, not just one school of thought or narrow discipline.

Experts are great. They are even better if they help you develop your own expertise.
