About Us
Corporate Instinct was founded to support organisations in delivering change and improvement in clever, emotionally intelligent ways. This is a real, 'bottom line' based approach that delivers sustainable change, - and develops internal capacity to respond positively and instinctively to future challenges.
Corporate Instinct is a small, flexible company. We have built strong associate links with colleagues with a similar value-base and particular areas of expertise and can deliver a wide range of development services scaled for small or large organisations.

I have seen so many change programmes fail, - or not achieve their potential for adding value - simply because people are not put first! A new system or procedure won't change a thing if the people who are delivering it are not motivated to apply it, - but no procedure in the world ever stopped a group of enthusiastic, skilled and focused people from doing amazing things!

People need to find meaning in what they do. Only then will they really engage and find the motivation to innovate and the resolution to act differently. The exciting bit is inspiring and giving the space for all that wealth to be released. The clever bit is about sustaining it.
