Market disruption can come from anywhere, anytime and can cause instant transformation. The speed of disruptors hitting markets is quicker than ever before, driven by instant communication and fewer barriers to entry. Whole industries can transform when the game-rules are changed by a newcomer. Organizations must expect and anticipate disruption being agile and influential to stay ahead.
The marginalised and victimised are starting movements and demanding change. These debates and agendas are mainstream and everyone's to solve. Organizations need to embody societal change perhaps faster than any other entity. Not just to be inclusive and empowering to all but to be relevant and influential.
The world is grappling with fundamental paradoxes which can seem impossible to reconcile. These tensions raise difficult questions about our organizational purpose, strategies and even day to day decisions. They reveal our commitments; sometimes conscious, sometimes not. Examples include; Profit vs. Planet, Local vs. Global, Efficient vs. Ethical
Technology is so profoundly integrated into how we live that it’s hard to see how it can be separated from humanity at all. Technology is no longer just a set of machines and tools we use to aid us; it’s culture shaping.
Work and life are more merged than ever before. Hybrid work is standard, global teams - the norm, our work being at arm's reach at all hours of the day – check! All of this has consequences for well-being, balance and mindset. Organizations need to think laterally to make work sustainable, enjoyable and healthy when the lines are so blurred.
The explosion of high-speed information, opinion and ‘news’ can be empowering but can also feel noisy and unwieldy. With AI generated content on top, the volume of fast-content is likely to keep growing at an exponential rate. Organizations must stay tuned-in to the mood music, whilst cutting through it to be heard.
How do we secure psychological safety for leaders when taking risks or admitting mistakes? How do we drive progress if we ignore irresponsible or inappropriate behaviour?

A swell of global instability, evidenced by conflict in all forms is dominating the socio-economic landscape. Ideological divide is loud and seems to be getting louder. Consumers and organizations are bearing real-time price volatility. organizations are responding to the social narratives and operational barriers in a world that changes from blink to blink.
Artificial intelligence will transform multiple layers of every industry. Organizations will either embrace it or be forced to adapt to it. AI is the latest transformer of the world of work, and life – great organizations will get ahead and help shape it.
It’s common for leaders and organizations to have a ‘being blindspot’; an unseen gap between their commitments and the way they’re being.
We believe that if your goals, intentions, purpose or dreams aren’t matched with a parallel way of being, you can’t realise maximum performance and results.
This being-gap can’t be resolved with tactics or hyper-productivity. It takes courageous self-awareness and making an empowered choice to ‘be’ your commitments; embracing the implications and expectations they generate.
By closing the being-gap, we can rapidly shift your impact and performance, at a speed that conventional approaches can’t.
