disruptive consulting partners
shaping transformation in organisations
We believe organisations can be deliberately designed to flourish. In fact, we support organisations to look at the system they’re operating in (and the emergent systems they’re creating) with that in mind.
Qu: What is the future you’re creating for your organisation and the people within it?
We partner with organisations and communities to prepare for a future they can’t see yet - exploring the systems, strategies, plans culture, and leadership capability.
We are organisational design specialists with our own unique DISCO Org Design Model that we use to guide transformation, segmented into a series of five phases to enable people to lead change in the organisation.
Org design is the strategic work of shaping how a company’s roles, processes, systems, and culture fit together to deliver on its ambition - consistently, efficiently, and with enough adaptability to survive complex operating environments and changing futures.
It’s a blueprint for how the organisation actually functions. It defines how people work together, make decisions, share information, and use resources to create value.
Check-out our DISCO Tracks for more about our approach.
As a key part of org design practice, we support Executive teams and Boards with strategy design and execution, strategic thinking and foresight, alignment diagnostics, and futures thinking.
Our support is designed to meet you where you are and sustain you as you lead adaptive, human-centred change.
We believe there are better ways of doing business. Ways that create sustainable, flourishing futures.
Change Management Institute's event attendee:
“Last night’s event with Katy Cooper speaking about the work of DISCO really stuck with me. Their take on futures thinking and organisational alignment wasn’t just insightful, it was energising ⚡ There was a clear call to action in her words: to think long-term, to plan beyond immediate pressures, and to create strategies that actually translate into aligned, meaningful action.”
Intuit Technologies Customer Service Team Leader:
“The Team Power Up Sessions with Ellie provided insightful feedback from the team, leading to significant positive changes within our team. This feedback has been invaluable in driving our team's growth and unity. These sessions have also offered immense value to the team members, giving them a platform to voice their thoughts and contribute to the team's success."
