People Intelligence. Governance. Resilience.

We work with boards and senior leaders to prevent problems, contain disruption, and recover from crises — managing the people and governance risks that matter most.

Where we step in

  • A strategy that isn’t landing, a project that has drifted off course, leadership dynamics that are paralysing progress, or an adviser relationship that has lost its way.

    Our role is to cut through noise, untangle what’s blocking progress, and bring performance back on track. Always independent, always discreet, always respectful. We provide the experience and perspective needed to reset momentum.

  • When conduct, or workplace issues threaten to destabilise, the truth matters. We provide independent, discreet fact-finding that boards, regulators and stakeholders can trust. Our investigations are thorough without being disruptive, forensic yet human. We surface evidence, separate fact from noise, and create a foundation for you to take decisive action. 

    One of the advantages of working with us is that you don’t need to assemble multiple advisers for different situations. Our multidisciplinary expertise means we can handle investigations that cross boundaries, integrating financial, governance and human-behavioural insight.

  • We help you make hiring decisions that avoid future pain.

    We de-risk senior hiring by making critical appointments safer. Through people intelligence, data and insight, we help you make more informed decisions about leadership fit and long-term impact.  

    We provide ongoing coaching and mentoring to individuals, teams or groups to optimise continual performance.

  • When crisis strikes we stand alongside you in the moment,  taking on the response, supporting decision-making, and holding the line when pressure is greatest.

    Our priority is containment, then stabilisation of leadership and teams. Once the immediate crisis is managed, we help you regain control, restore performance, and move forward.

  • We make high‑stakes governance work in practice

    We work with boards to make governance practical and resilient — not a box ticking exercise. We help leadership teams close gaps, anticipate vulnerabilities, and demonstrate credibility to regulators, investors, and employees. We don’t just test structures on paper; we make them work in practice.

Our philosophy

We believe at the centre of everything are the human factors. We apply people intelligence and governance expertise to prevention, containment and recovery.

We fix what’s in front of you, we surface what others overlook and we walk towards situations others step away from.

We take a multidisciplinary approach, drawing on trusted partners when needed, to bring the right expertise to each situation. Our role is to reassure and support boards, investors, and regulators by ensuring the human dimension of business is never overlooked.

At its core, every organisation is a people business — and the most successful organisations are those that recognise this truth and act on it.
