Work With Us

Some of this work you can do yourselves. Some of it goes better with someone in the room.

Peter Gladdish

I'll be straight about how I work. I don't arrive with the answer, because I haven't met you yet, and anyone who claims to have the solution before they understand the problem is selling you their product rather than your outcome. The work starts with a diagnosis: where your leadership discipline actually stands, which is not always where the leadership team believes it stands.

After that, it depends on the floor the work sits on. With individual leaders, it is coaching built around the five disciplines and the diagnostic. With leadership teams, it is the harder, more valuable work: the candour in the room, the standard the team signs up to together, and the operating rhythm that keeps it alive when the quarter turns ugly. With whole organisations, it is governance: embedding the standard so that holding it no longer depends on any one person having a good day.

Boards and public bodies have their own version of this conversation. If you answer to the UK Corporate Governance Code, the Wates Principles, or the public sector's governance frameworks, the codes tell you what must exist. The work we do together is about whether it holds under pressure. There's more on how the framework sits alongside the codes at theresolveframework.org/framework/governance-codes/.

There is no price on this page, and that is deliberate. The conversation determines the scope, and I would rather have an honest conversation than publish a rate card that fits nobody. Tell me what you're trying to do, and I'll tell you honestly whether I can help, and what it would look like if I can.
