The people side of the business, taken seriously

PeoplePulse is an advisory and consulting practice. We work with leaders on the decisions that shape how an organisation is structured, led and staffed.

What we do

Advisory, not off-the-shelf

Most of the work falls into three areas: helping leaders think clearly about a decision, designing the structures and systems an organisation runs on, and building the capability it will need next.

That covers executive advisory and coaching, leadership development, organisation design, HR and people consulting, talent strategy, search advisory, culture and employer brand work, people analytics, learning and development, and how roles and ways of working are changing. Each one is scoped separately, because the starting point is never the same twice.

How engagements work

Scope agreed before any work begins

We would rather turn down a piece of work than take it on with the wrong brief. Every engagement follows the same three steps.

A conversation

We start by talking about where you are and what you are trying to change. It is usually clear from that conversation alone whether this is work we should be doing together.

An agreed scope

Before anything starts we agree what is in scope, who needs to be involved on your side, and what a good outcome looks like — in writing, so both sides are working to the same definition.

The work itself

How the work runs depends on what it is: advisory can be a standing conversation, a design or development programme is a defined piece of delivery. The review points are set at the start.

Tell us what you are working on

A short conversation is usually enough to tell whether we are the right fit — and if we are not, we will say so.
