02Organisational Transformation & People

Help your people understand, adopt and sustain change.

Organisations change through people. We help leaders design the structures, policies and processes that support their strategy, and bring the right people into the organisation to deliver it.

The question we answer

How do we help people understand, adopt and sustain organisational change?

Challenges we help with

Does this sound familiar?

  • The organisation is growing, and informal ways of managing people no longer work.
  • HR policies are missing, outdated or applied inconsistently.
  • Roles and responsibilities are unclear after growth or restructuring.
  • Hiring takes too long, or new hires do not perform as expected.
  • A restructuring or major change is planned, and staff morale is at risk.
  • Leaders lack reliable workforce information to make people decisions.

Our goal-setting framework

The Pathfinder's Ultimate Question (PUQ)

Created by Olaitan Idowu Falade, the PUQ is a guided, nine-question goal-setting system. Most frameworks teach people how to set a goal; the PUQ first answers which goal is genuinely theirs. It surfaces potential goals from seven aspects of a person's life, tests each against ethics, values, sustainability, cost and motivation, and turns the goal that survives into a costed Bridge Plan.

Free to use, with a private dashboard and Bridge Tracker. Featured in the book The Pathfinder.
