Case Study 1: Launching a new website for a new company

A new investment company needed a website — and fast. With their launch date locked in, they had just nine working weeks to go from a blank page to a full digital presence. This wasn’t just about getting something online; it had to reflect their brand, meet regulatory requirements, and be future-proof for years to come.

Case Study 2: Driving Rapid Adoption of a New Self-Service Platform

Take our work with a global organisation rolling out a new customer self-service portal. Thanks to the way we engaged the team, 56% of customers were using the platform within four weeks — compared to just 8% in other regions.

Case Study 3: Smarter Systems, Better Outcomes — Without the Price Tag

A small business about was about to commit £3k a month to a marketing system. Once we dug into their needs, we found they only needed the £720 version — and delivered a smoother, smarter setup. Their feedback? “This is the best project I’ve been part of.”

Case Study 4: Leading People Through a Major Cultural Shift

A financial services business was undergoing a significant transformation — not only had 2 firms just merged, but this meant new leadership, new systems, and a push toward a more collaborative, client-first culture. Change Fatigue had set in. By making the people part of the change, we increased engagement by 22% over 6 months.

Case Study 5: Simplifying Processes to Unlock Scale in a Wealth Management Firm

Manual handovers, inconsistent workflows, and duplicated tasks were creating delays, client frustration, and pressure on staff. We didn’t deliver a dry process manual — we co-designed solutions with the people doing the work, and tested everything in real time to make sure it fit their day-to-day reality.

Case Study 6: Creating Clarity and Momentum in Just One Day

A non-profit organisation with a new leadership team was struggling with inefficiencies that had built up over years. Processes had grown organically, leading to duplicated effort, handoffs, and delays. Teams worked in silos, and the customer experience was inconsistent and slow. They knew things needed to change — but didn’t know where to start. We ran a Strategic Booster tailored to operational redesign to help set them on their way.

Technology Related Change

From digital transformation and AI to regulatory change, data upgrades, reorganisations and post-acquisition integration — we help make change happen. Whether it’s a multi-million-pound programme or some simpler process re-engineering, we bring the same focus, energy, and results.

AI isn’t just about tools — it’s about transformation. We help you cut through the hype and put AI to work where it matters most: improving client experience, boosting efficiency, and freeing up your people to focus on what they do best.

From identifying the right use cases to selecting tools, managing risk, and bringing your team along for the journey — we make AI practical, safe, and impactful. Whether you’re just starting out or scaling up, we help embed AI in a way that sticks and delivers results.

We make sure all your tech investments deliver real value — not just sit on a shelf.

People-Centred Transformation

Change doesn’t work unless people are on board — and that’s where we shine.

We focus on engaging teams, equipping leaders, and building capability so transformation feels less like a disruption — and more like progress.

Whether it’s a restructure, new tech, or cultural shift, we bring people with us from day one. Our approach blends behavioural insight, clear communication, and practical support to drive real, lasting change.

We don’t just manage change — we make it something your people believe in, own, and carry forward. Because when people understand the why, are part of the how, and can see the impact, real transformation takes hold.

Process Excellence

We help you design processes that are lean, adaptable, and ready for what’s next.

Whether you’re scaling up, cutting waste, or improving consistency, we work with your teams to simplify the complex, automate where it makes sense, and build workflows that actually work.

The result? Less friction, more focus — and a business that runs smarter, not harder.

Strategic Boosters

Sometimes you just need a clear plan to move forward. We help teams align fast with practical tools like Strategy on a Page, Change Roadmaps, and focused 3-month delivery plans — bringing all the key pieces together.

We’re experts at designing and facilitating collaborative sessions that unlock ideas, build buy-in, and set the direction. Whether it’s a small workshop or a full-day event, we take care of everything — from planning and facilitation to follow-through.

Want something bigger? We can partner with best-in-class event managers to deliver high-impact sessions that truly inspire.

Training and Coaching

We’re passionate about helping people build skills that stick — not just tick a box.

Our training is hands-on, practical, and designed to keep people in the learning zone. It blends proven theory with real-world experience, practice, reflection, and support — because learning doesn’t stop when the course ends.

We’ve all been on training that makes sense in the room, then fades back at the desk. Not here. We stay with your team as they embed new skills — and offer pathways to accreditation where it adds value.
