Frequently Asked Questions

I run a PMO or Transformation office - why should I talk to you?

Contracting workforces are great, there is a pool of talented, passionate professional project people - but finding the right one, with the right cultural fit can be tricky - it’s always about timing!

Depending on your needs, we can find you stellar individuals to support your change, learning and communication needs.

As an alternative, we can manage the whole change team for your project or program.

Question: We struggle to get the broader business to engage with our strategy. How can your approach help?


Our team takes the time to learn your culture, understand your strategy and provide leadership into your permanent workforce. We commit to leaving your business more robust than we find it.

Change does not happen outside context; the complex nature of organisational strategy, prioritisation of focus and resources all add to the need to think in more integrated ways about the changes that we deploy into our work.

Question: Getting the strategic messaging right upfront can be tricky - and making it sticky and meaningful for our people can be even harder - what can you offer here as an idea?


How we position changes to our customers, business, boardroom, and shareholders are critical.  

We ensure that our communications strategies for all programs are aligned to your organisation's strategic narrative and leverage the six social cognitive needs of the brain to anchor your change into the minds of your team.

By drawing out and maintaining alignment from customer-facing roles through to strategy and purpose, we draw the red thread that helps your team feel a sense of ownership of the changes that your organisation are driving.

Question: We run an Agile shop - old school change management struggles to keep up - what is your answer?

Dealing with change in a complex system needs thinkers and doers who are comfortable and confident in taking action in ambiguity and uncertainty.

Adaptive leadership is required in projects and programs as much as anywhere else in the system.

To get that, you need a team that is comfortable to challenge thinking, are creative problem-solvers, and are open to change in change!

Our team is experienced enough to adapt their approach to what is in front of them whilst keeping the end goals and required outcomes clearly in mind

Question: We struggle to fully realise the benefits of our project work - what’s the solution?

Unless your project is building widgets, selling widgets and counting how many widgets sold, realising benefits is a tricky business.

Managing change in a complex system means that it is hard, if not impossible, to attribute causation to any one thing in the system for an outcome.

By doing the hard work of aligning outcomes to portfolio aspirations we can build a lens of positive or negative impact through projects and take a more holistic view of the success of your portfolio.

We also have tools designed to evaluate the success of programs to build organisational agility, a critical factor in supporting your business to respond to the need for constant change, or change as usual.

Question: In the Future of Work, our hybrid workforce will make delivering learning really tricky, what does the future of learning look like?

Our learning professionals use the latest in behavioural economics and neuroscience to make your learning sticky and engaging - even to a remote workforce!

Learning in the future will continue to be a blend of face-to-face and virtual. There will be an increase in context-sensitive learning for operating system deployment.

Critical to the success of learning deployments is the role of the people leader. We focus on supporting and enabling your leaders to effectively lead their teams through whatever changes are coming - building your organisational muscle to deal with constant change.

The art is knowing what will work in your particular setting and your particular needs.

We design learning that engages the brain first, creating learning experiences that are engaging, dynamic and dare we say enjoyable?

Question: All this sounds great - but can your people really do all this?

Our team is built only through referrals, we only work with contractors who have a proven delivery track record.

Our approach to change is powered by the NeuroPower™ framework. We believe in humanising work.

We make change happen. We make change stick. We build change agility in organisations that lasts.
