Research tells us that differences in organisations can mean a 20 - 200% increase in performance
Yet explaining the difference between high and low performance is often more art than science
And there is no shortage of tools to help us
As firms get larger, productivity falls
And the pace of change is increasing…
With this in mind
Our research focuses on 3 areas
1. The difference between high and low performance
The 6 Box Model in DetailPeople and Experiential Economic and Material
Emergent Leadership
CULTUREDemocracy MotivationTrust and TransparencyValues and VisionUnique Factors

INDIVIDUALSAttitude and MindsetCognitiveInterpersonalSelf Development
RESOURCESCashContractsInformationIntellectual Property RightsPhysical Assets and IT Infrastructure
2. The impact of complexity
3. The timeless nature of trust and relationships
Our research seeks to
triangulate these
elements
Creating reliable ways to improve performance
Developing new tools and areas of practice
And seeding new areas of research

With optional relationship and team dynamics analysis via the
Visual Team Builder (c. 90 minutes per
