We make tools for the messy stuff
Tools that measurably change the way you work

Why can work be so messy and hard?
Why is it so difficult to change?

What if you knew how your culture worked?
What if a few simple things could change everything?

How can you know?
What can you do?
Where do you start?

These are the questions we seek to answer.

Then Somehow

We invent, pilot and help deploy tools and programmes that help organisations become better places to work.

We help people understand where they are so they can make informed decisions.

And help teams and individuals in purpose-led organisations change behaviours, that help change beliefs, that support improved cultures.

All our tools have data and stories,
logic and magic at their heart:
they are engaging, easy to share
and make a measurable difference.

Manifesto

We believe in discovering what really matters.

We believe work can be more than a means to an end.

We believe it doesn't have to be this hard.

We believe in writing your own future.

We believe in magic.

We believe in laughter in lifts.

We believe in the messy stuff.

We’ll show you how it’s done.

6 Quick productivity tools that work

Do you ever get to the end of the day, look at your to-do list and realise that barely half the things on your list have been ticked off?
