the science of getting employees to do...
what your business needs them to do.

There’s a prevailing myth that if an organisation is not thriving, it must be the fault of leadership.
But, this simply isn't true, most dysfunction is systemic. And leaders are as much a part of the system as anyone else.
Unfortunately we have all been numbed to systemic friction by the institutions we grew up in and how we've seen systems play out.
In fact the systems are so pervasive, that both the problem and the solution have become invisible.
We have made it our business to re-engineer constraints and stresses to structure cohesive thriving businesses.

what if
...both employees and management are seen as reasonable people that want to do good work?
...very few rules and restrictions are necessary because everyone is energised to make great work happen?
...disagreement is encouraged, making it easy to present ideas and build robust solutions?
...work is a place of enthusiastic collaboration in pursuit of a meaningful purpose?
...decisions are made at the heart of the problem by the individual who has the expertise & interest to contribute?
...your organisation is seen as a living organism, aimed at realising its full potential?
"meaningful change happens fast"

...if internal friction is preventing smooth effective operation
...if you just know that there has to be a better way to run a company.
...if your organisation has hit a spurt and you want to grow with your market.

Founder & Executive
I work with businesses because they are messy.
My brain tends towards order and straight lines, so puzzles like sudoku don't provide much entertainment, but people and organisations are gratifyingly complex.
Employees who are highly productive in one setting and recalcitrant in another, financials peppered with notes and exceptions, or how the smartest, most profitable strategy becomes roadkill if it doesn't align with people's values - these fascinate and energise me.
Obviously, my years of research, experience, and experimentation have provided tools and insights to guide the people who make up an organisation, but still, there is no one size fits all, and there is always a new scenario to test the limits.
I am at my best collaborating with teams who are looking for better ways to delight their customers and each other.
It's a question of trust, communication, and accountability - I bring all three to the table.
