Practitioner capability uplift

Practitioner capability uplift

We’re here to support the people making change happen in organisations; the practitioners, P&C and Org Dev professionals, and the change-makers. Partnering with you to co-design meaningful, sustainable change.

Are you looking for capability uplift or do you need an out of the box experience to motivate and mobilise your people? We’ve got you covered.

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.

  • ‘Alignment is the degree to which an organisation’s components - its strategy, structure, processes, rewards, and people - are mutually reinforcing and directed toward the achievement of strategic objectives.’ - Nadler & Tushman (1997) Competing by Design.

    Alignment is not about agreeing on everything, following orders without question, or stifling different perspectives. True alignment is a continuous effort to ensure that purpose, strategy, actions, and behaviours are all working together to move the organisation forward.

    When an organisation is in sync, from the boardroom to the frontline, everything flows towards the desired destination. Decisions get made faster and more effectively, teams pull together, and the entire organisation becomes greater than the sum of its parts.

    • Gain practical tools and resources to identify and measure alignment.

    • Explore how alignment (or lack thereof) impacts organisational systems.

    • Learn about holding tensions to genuinely design adaptive human systems that get results and create thriving organisations.

  • The future isn’t something we predict, it’s something we shape.

    Futures thinking is a discipline that equips individuals and organisations to anticipate change, explore emerging possibilities, and make more informed, future-ready decisions.

    • Gain practical foresight tools to scan for signals, map drivers of change, and identify opportunity spaces.

    • Develop compelling future scenarios to inform strategic planning and innovation.

    • Enhance collaborative, long-range thinking and systems awareness.

    • Translate foresight insights into action and influence in your context.

  • We support Boards and Executive Leadership teams to develop strategic plans from a future focussed perspective.

    • Using practical foresight tools to scan for signals, map drivers of change, and identify opportunity spaces.

    • Enhancing collaborative, long-range thinking and systems awareness.

    • Translating foresight insights into action and influence in your context.

  • Leading isn’t a solo sport, you need a squad of people who’ve got your back and are thrilled to walk the journey beside you.

    At DISCO we have therapeutic coaches with significant experience in personal transformation, unlocking barriers, working with old patterns, integrating trauma and creating powerful self-agency.

    We also have developmental coaches dedicated to facilitating a shift from running on autopilot to full awareness and intentionality.  To move from being consumed by busy-ness and reacting - to being intentional about how you’re responding, and showing up for yourself and those around you.

    Your coaching journey is an investment in yourself, your team, your family and community. Coaching comes in tranches of 5 sessions with integration time in between, immersive retreats, coaching circles and support materials.

    Reach out to us for a confidential assessment of how we can help you meet your needs and goals.

  • When people feel threatened (physically, emotionally, or relationally) their nervous system can shift into survival mode (fight, flight, freeze, or fawn). This impacts behaviour, communication, and team dynamics. Regulation helps restore a sense of safety, enabling more grounded responses, empathy, and collaboration.

    Learn the power of facilitating and practicing individual emotional regulation and co-regulation in team environments.

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."
