Navigate change.
Make better decisions.
Complex systems - expert solutions
We are a consulting practice that helps organisations navigate change across their systems and to make better decisions. We specialise in complex environments.
When there are many moving parts, complexity often slows down work and not being able to see the whole picture can lead to poor choices being made. The right decisions can only be made with full understanding of the whole system. With our expertise in systems thinking methods, we reveal insights to drive growth and resilience.
We reveal a complete view of your organisation, how all the parts of your business connect and depend on each other. Stakeholder perspectives are captured as part of this process. Using this understanding, we test the effect of change and its impact on the whole system. We work together with you to improve efficiency and mitigate risks.
We help you to build stronger systems that are resilient and can adapt to uncertainty, to improve your organisational agility for sustainable growth.
Our approach
-
Discovery Phase
We assess your organisation to understand the current state.
This phase includes data collection, interviews, and initial assessment to map your system and its dependencies.
-
Analysis Phase
Building on the diagnostics, we use systems thinking approaches to analyse data and collaboratively develop a strategic direction.
We use the patterns identified to provide clear recommendations that address risks and opportunities.
-
Embed Phase
We work with your teams on implementing recommendations, adjusting processes, structures, and systems to align with your strategic direction.
