Complexity Training and Workshops

Conventional approaches aren't fit-for purpose for the world we live in. Change is the only constant and there are rarely right answers we can find through analysis. We have deep expertise with Complexity Theory, Systems Thinking and Organisational Dynamics. Through our training and workshops we focus on building team capacity rather than imparting knowledge.Choose form one of our pre-built trainings and webinars or opt for something more bespoke. For bespoke offerings, we take the time to get to know your team and its particular needs and design a set of workshops that are fit-for purpose for your organisation in its current context.

Thinking and Sparring Partnerships

Trusted and confidential executive advisory and coaching for you and your leadership teams from experienced leaders who have walked in your shoes. Visionary and thoughtful leaders and leadership teams are the difference between the average and exceptional organisations. From one on one coaching through to hands-on daily advisory and delivery we can help you build a world class and high performing executive team. You've read the books and models, and amateurs are peddling content that experts have already moved beyond. Learn from the emerging edge of what's working, not what's finally reached the mainstream.

Lived Experience

We have decades worth of experience in working in and advising the executive teams of numerous organisations.

We started in the trenches as practitioners and have built and scaled teams and businesses.

Leading Edge Perspective

Access to and familiarity with the latest industry and academic models and frameworks.

We'll also help you avoid tools and frameworks that the leading edge has left behind.

Working Alongside You

A trusted sparring partner and someone willing to roll up their sleeves and go to battle with you.

Few of today's challenges can be solved through desk research and conventional consulting approaches.

Dynamic Organisations and People

Handle the pace of change and make sense of complexity and chaos by cultivating an evolutionary organisation. Digital and Agile Transformations can help, but it's bigger than that. Any organisation is a complex, adaptive and emergent system of people, systems, processes all intertwined and interacting with each other. Whether you are a large enterprise or a scale-up, we can co-design a program to support you in strengthening your leadership, people, culture, and core organisational practices while deepening your understanding of the dynamics of these systems.

Focus on Now and Later

We focus on both the immediate needs of the business while supporting you in shaping your culture over a longer arc.

Tested, Proven and Bespoke

We bring a toolkit of proven exercises and patterns designed for a fast changing environment. Yet, every company is different and we know when and how to let go of proven approaches and work with the nuance of your organisation.
