As you’d expect, we keep an eye on the cultural challenges we encounter in the organisations we support. Currently, we are tracking more than a dozen common issues, regardless of geography or business vertical. These are the top four. Nice to know you are not alone.
At the end of the day we help you to create a culture where employees contribute more than their contracted minimum. We call this Discretionary Effort.
The Partners We Trust
Ghosting - the act of cutting off communication without warning - has long been a feature of personal relationships, particularly in the digital age. But what was once confined to dating apps and social circles has now infiltrated the workplace, creating challenges for organisations, employees, and job seekers alike. As an organisational change consultant, I see the impact of ghosting on professional environments.

In the bustling control centre of our brains, there exists a powerful region that governs much of how we experience life - the limbic brain. Often referred to as our "emotional brain," it plays a pivotal role in shaping our feelings, influencing our behaviours, and even dictating our physical responses. Whether we are gripped by fear, lifted by joy, or calmed by love, it is the limbic system pulling the strings behind the scenes.
In the evolving dynamics of the modern workplace, the integration of Generation Z into professional environments has sparked much-needed conversations about how organisations conduct business meetings. As I coach organisational culture change, I see that while younger employees add fresh energy and ideas to discussions, they are unsure of how to behave in a meeting and less likely to run a productive one.
It’s easy to become set in your ways. Deciding that the way you see the world, do your work, or even relax at weekends is fine the way it is. But your brain is anything but fixed in its ways. It’s a dynamic, evolving structure that uses neurons (electro-chemical impulses) to connect your thoughts. It also has a remarkable ability to reshape itself, called Neuroplasticity. Plasticity means the ability to be moulded.
