Leadership System Design — a complete approach.

A 6–12 month partnership designed to build leadership capability and organisational culture that drives real performance. Three components, one engagement, measured by what actually changes in your business.

01

Diagnosis & strategy.

Understanding what's actually happening. Then designing a clear plan for what needs to shift and how we'll get there. Nothing is delivered until we've done this first.

  • Confidential interviews across executive, manager, and frontline layers
  • Observation of leadership rhythms — how meetings actually run, what gets said and what doesn't
  • A written diagnosis naming the critical behaviours we'll shift, with reasoning you can hand to a board
  • A measurement framework agreed up front — the small number of indicators we'll track
  • Co-designed scope: who's involved, what we're building, what success looks like
02

Facilitation & development.

Working across your organisation — from executives to emerging leaders. Building critical behaviours through structured interventions, with accountability between sessions. The work happens between the rooms, not just inside them.

  • Executive coaching for senior leaders — 1:1 and small group
  • Emerging-leader cohorts with peer accountability between sessions
  • Team-level frameworks installed into rhythms you already run
  • Manager toolkits for the conversations that matter (feedback, conflict, performance)
  • Asynchronous check-ins between sessions — the work is the rhythm, not the workshop
03

Measurement & sustainability.

Tracking what changes. Building systems your team will use long after the engagement ends. Success measured by business outcomes — not happy sheets.

  • Baseline and endpoint measurement on the indicators we agreed in phase one
  • Behavioural observation — what changed in how people actually lead, talk, and make decisions
  • Business-outcome view: retention, engagement, performance signals, claim risk
  • A handover document so your team can keep running the system
  • A 90-day post-engagement check-in — included, not extra
04

Investment.

Pricing transparency builds trust, so it sits on the website. Final scope is agreed in a discovery conversation — but the band below is the honest answer to "what does this typically cost?"

Investment range
NZD $65,000–$140,000

Depending on organisational size and scope. We'll clarify the right investment for your situation during our discovery conversation. Engagements are typically billed in three milestones aligned to the three phases.

  • Most engagements run 6–12 months — long enough for behaviour change to land, short enough to maintain momentum
  • Smaller organisations sit at the lower end; multi-site or multi-market work sits higher
  • I cap concurrent engagements so the depth of work doesn't suffer — booking ahead is normal
05

Other ways to work.

A full Leadership System Design engagement is the deepest form of work — but it isn't the only door in. Two narrower formats, used when a full system isn't the right fit yet.

Diagnosis-only sprint

A 4–6 week piece of work to surface what's actually happening. Written diagnosis, recommended interventions, a clear "what next." A way to get clarity without committing to a full engagement.

From NZD $18,000

Executive coaching

Six-month coaching engagements for individual senior leaders. Most useful when a single leader is the lever — a new appointment, a stretched executive, a founder navigating scale.

From NZD $14,000 (six months)

Speaking & advisory

Keynotes, leadership team off-sites, advisory days. A way to put a clear point of view in the room before deciding whether to build the system around it.

By arrangement

Who I work with

Ambitious businesses, mostly mid-sized.

The work lands hardest in organisations where leadership is genuinely the bottleneck — where strategy is clear but execution keeps stalling at the manager layer. Founder-led companies through their first scale. Mid-market businesses navigating new accountability. Established organisations whose leadership culture hasn't kept up with the business they've become.

Industry is rarely the issue. I've worked across fashion, appliances, hospitality, insurance, tourism — the leadership patterns repeat.

The right first step

A 30-minute discovery call — no deck, no pitch.

We talk about what you're seeing and whether the work I do is the right fit. If it isn't, I'll tell you — and where I can, point you toward what is.
