Leadership and transformation

Our leadership and organisational development consultancy collaborates with leaders at all levels to help them and their organisations thrive.

We can support you with:

  • personal leadership growth
  • nurturing adaptive organisational cultures
  • aligning structures with your strategic ambitions.

Charities and purpose-driven organisations operate in a world of constant change and growing complexity. So they must remain adaptable and resilient. To maximise their often-limited resources, charities must embrace change, foster strong leadership, and build cultures that support their missions while navigating uncertainty.

Whether guiding leaders through self-reflection and development, or helping organisations create the frameworks needed to achieve their goals, our approach empowers charities to evolve and sustain their impact in a fast-changing world.

Why choose this support

By investing in leadership and organisational development, charities can unlock their full potential, create lasting impact, and build a foundation for sustainable growth.

We can help you with:

  • Seeking to maximise impact through leadership: Leaders, at all levels, rarely have time to reflect and invest in their own development. We can work with you on bespoke leadership development, or recommend how best to access this support through our leadership programmes.
  • Adapting to change: Consultancy helps organisations consider how they need to adapt, supporting leaders to anticipate and plan change. This may be in response to a new strategy, a change in funding or some other factor which causes you to want to take stock and implement a new approach.
  • Fostering a positive culture: A strong values driven culture improves staff morale, engagement, and retention and ultimately helps you ensure that your organisation can attract and retain the best talent.

How we can help

Leadership development

We provide a range of leadership modules designed to build the core skills, knowledge, and mindset leaders need to thrive. Our leadership programme Leading On Purpose fosters connections and resilience, helping leaders navigate complex challenges. If you’re after something more bespoke, then we can also develop leadership programming in-house for your organisation.

Facilitating leadership teams and staff days

We offer structured and thoughtful team development and facilitation which can help build dynamics and set your team up for success. Our experts can also support your team through critical or complex choices where there may be competing priorities.

Organisational diagnostics

Our diagnostic service identifies your organisation’s strengths and opportunities. We can conduct a comprehensive review, or focus on a specific area of your work, always aligning recommendations with your mission and strategy. Our insights cover processes, systems, culture, staff structures, and leadership teams.

Implementing transformation

We support organisations in designing and implementing change, from restructuring staff teams to improving processes and creating leadership frameworks. Whether tackling major transformations or incremental changes, we ensure alignment with your goals and values.

Culture and values development

A strong organisational culture is essential for success. Our culture reviews assess current perceptions, experiences, and alignment with your values and ethics. We help you create a culture that drives engagement, effectiveness, and mission delivery.

Mentoring and coaching

We provide mentoring and coaching for leaders at all levels, offering practical guidance, personal growth support, and professional development tailored to individual needs.
