Collaborators in change

“People support what they create”

Transcend works alongside leaders and their teams to guide, facilitate and build the capability to
implement effective organisational change … change that delivers sustainable results.

Working together

“Most solutions lie within you.” We work with our clients to help them see and understand their organisation a little more wisely (which often includes seeing themselves!). Together we set the change agenda, define and implement the bold moves that drive change forward, and learn and grow along the way to increase the chances of successful delivery.

Getting ‘unstuck’

Change is often led by launching lots of initiatives that make people busy but don’t change the essence of how they think and act. That does not bring sustainable change. We work to uncover the deeper dynamics that might be preventing movement in our client organisations. Based on this insight, we release what might be keeping the organisation stuck in repeating unhelpful patterns.

Building capability

We do this in a way that builds skills and confidence in our clients. We create the conditions in which clients evolve their own perception and practice. Together we explore, challenge and test, guided by the principles and frameworks that we know from our own research and experience can influence the success of leading change.

Sustaining change

Working together, getting unstuck and building capability – this all leads to change that will create greater lasting value.
We are passionate about leaving organisations more able to ‘do their own changing’.

"I have worked with Transcend on a number of Change projects around the world and have found them to be very valuable.
What they bring to the table is a great blend of theory and practice: knowing what buttons to push and how to get things done.
I have particularly valued their experience in helping high level management teams improve their performance."

are telling the story.

Leading change ... be careful what you say Michael Thorley.
Because of the position of
influence that leaders have in an organisation, the language they
use matters. What leaders say is as important as what they do and
how they do it. More
