Frequently Asked Questions

  • We help organizations diagnose people-related challenges and turn them into practical, sustainable solutions. That includes leadership development, organizational health diagnostics, team dynamics, and fractional HR support. We focus on clarity, execution, and results, not buzzwords.

  • Our clients include municipalities, post-secondary institutions, public sector organizations, and small to mid-sized businesses. We work best with leaders who want thoughtful, evidence-informed solutions and are serious about follow-through.

  • Most consultants jump straight to solutions. We start with diagnosis. Think less “prescription without an exam” and more “understanding what’s actually happening before treating it.” That approach leads to better decisions and fewer band-aid fixes.

  • Common areas include:

    • Leadership capability and readiness

    • Team dynamics and trust

    • Organizational structure and role clarity

    • Talent risk and succession planning

    • Culture, engagement, and accountability

    • HR strategy and operational support

    If it involves people, performance, or leadership, we can help.

  • Yes. We use validated psychometric tools and custom diagnostics to assess leadership potential, development needs, team effectiveness, and organizational health. These tools inform decisions rather than replace judgment.

  • Fractional HR provides senior-level HR expertise on a part-time or retainer basis. It’s ideal for organizations that need strategic HR support without adding a full-time role, or during periods of transition, growth, or complexity.

  • That’s more common than you think, and it’s often the right place to start. If the issue feels unclear or messy, a diagnostic-first approach is exactly what we’re built for.

  • Lets start with a conversation. We’ll clarify your goals, pressure-test assumptions, and determine whether there’s a good fit. If there is, we’ll outline next steps clearly and efficiently.

  • Both. We support one-time projects, leadership programs, and ongoing advisory or fractional HR arrangements. The right model depends on the problem you’re solving, not a preset package.

  • Engagements typically follow our 3DS framework:

    • Diagnose – Understand the real issue

    • Design – Build a practical, context-specific approach

    • Deliver & Sustain – Support implementation and long-term impact

    We tailor the scope based on your needs, timelines, and environment.

  • We use humour as a deliberate way to lower barriers and start honest conversations about work.

    Lighthearted content helps people recognize shared experiences, feel understood, and engage more openly with topics like leadership, accountability, and organizational friction. Behind the humour is serious intent: creating connection first so better conversations can follow.
