Us

We love the power and impact of starting close in.

We create the conditions & processes that bring people together to think differently and to resolve their most significant challenges.

You

You are looking for new ideas and ways of seeing your current reality.

You have a challenge that you need to face into and make sense of.

You know where you want to go - but need trusted guides to help you make progress.

You are a leader, business owner or community change maker who wants to make a difference.

You are a leader who wants to improve the performance of your organisation

Connection. Agency. Energy

This is our purpose, our methodology & our offering

Enablers & Catalysts - Not Consultants

We exist to help you and your people find critical solutions to your most pressing challenges.

We create the space and structure for you to connect, understand the challenges you face at a causal level and then to chart an energising way forward. We support teams and organisations to find purpose, focus and success.

Depth of Knowledge

We bring you over 100 years of deep experience and knowledge in helping individuals, teams and systems to change, evolve and adapt.

We do this work because we love it. We do this work because it is important.

The Approach

We start close in..... by providing a space for you to describe the challenge you face. Then we explore the quality of your connections - to purpose, each other & your vision. We then map the problem to reveal where there is agency in the system - and where the system is creating waste.

Then we support you to tap into the energy of your organisation and your people.

The Situation you Find Yourself In

The ONLY tools that humans have to solve complex problems are connection and conversation. We fundamentally believe that if you find yourself stuck, wasting energy, uncertain or unsure about the next direction, or just poised for a shift - then bringing the right people into the room and revealing the actual (not perceived) challenge will generate positive change.

The Outcome

The outcome is clarity and focus. The outcome is confidence about where you put your finite time, energy and resources. The outcome is connection between your people, with stakeholders or with your customers.

The outcome is the energy the arises in humans when they find a community of like minded people, they know where they are going and they know how they contribute.

"Very great change starts from very small conversations, held among people who care."
