Welcome to our latest news, tips and trends on the world of high performance!

How can you make 'change' = 'success'? Following our previous edition's focus on culture, our Autumn update explores how to accelerate change - and how to make it stick. 

Shockingly, despite decades of corporate experience, between 30% and 50% of change programmes still fail.  As experts in high performance, we believe firms need to humanise their approach, developing the capabilities of the people who deliver value, within a framework explicitly designed to increase the likelihood of success.

Below, you'll find people, ideas, inspiration and insights to help you do exactly that.

We hope you enjoy the read; welcome your feedback and would love to connect with you in person. Just drop us an email, join us on LinkedIn or call us on +44 (0) 20 7842 4800.
