When organisations fail to deliver, it's rarely about the plan. It's about the people.

You might be facing one or more of these challenges:

Working in silos

People are unwilling or unable to collaborate with other teams.

Stuck in old patterns

Previous ways of working persist despite transformation efforts

All talk, no action

People say ‘yes’ in meetings or on email, then find it hard to execute on changes.

Technology not adopted

New systems and tools you've invested in aren't being used effectively, or people are scared to integrate new technologies

Unknown blockers

You're not even sure what's holding everyone back from making progress

Over 7 years in the industry
People with a property background
A committed team that’s here to help

When organisations struggle to deliver, it's rarely about the plan. It's about how they support people to act on it.

You might be facing one or more of these challenges:

Working in silos
Stuck in old patterns
All talk, no action
Technology not adopted
Unfocused strategy, or lacking prioritisation

People don’t like change being done TO them - handed a new strategy or technology and told to implement. They want to be part of the change process, so they can fully understand the benefits - for themselves and the business.

Organisational change is really people change. That's where we come in.

I have involved Nicholson McBride frequently over the last 25 years on many different business challenges and assignments in both of the FTSE-100 companies that I have been working for. They are very intelligent, extremely insightful, resourceful, collaborative and find many different ways to help leadership teams – to Board level – to think about and overcome their challenges, or simply to make faster progress as a team. Nicholson McBride's work has always delivered what was promised.

Mark Anderson,

Executive Committee Member, Whitbread (Property & International)

The vision and values that Nicholson McBride worked with us on have been a fundamental cornerstone of how we have operated as an organisation. They are all pervasive. They've been enduring. This has informed the way we behave – with each other, with our members and with our external stakeholders.

Alastair Gilmartin Smith,

COO, UK Finance

‍Nicholson McBride helped us to identify the culture and ways of working needed to achieve our business goals. I don’t believe we could have achieved the level of engagement that we did without their involvement. They found ways to involve virtually every member of staff, and their robust but down-to-earth approach won them supporters across our organisation.‍

Jeremy Rees,

CEO, Excel London

‍The team at Nicholson McBride has really helped our leadership team through workshops focused on developing the strategy and making a shift to a growth mindset, which we have found so valuable that we are now rolling it out to managers across the organization.‍

Nick Ash,

CEO, Munich Re Specialty – North America

I have worked with Nicholson McBride in a number of different firms and settings to help me build and develop highly effective teams fit for the task of delivering their strategic objectives. They make the task of transforming an organisation or a team a real pleasure.

Stephen Jones,

Chair, Investment Banking, Panmure Liberum; former CEO, UK Finance. Non-executive Chair, Finsolutia Holdings sarl.

We bring our senior executives from all over the world together for our leadership workshop. It is a critical cultural element of our decentralized structure. Nicholson McBride have facilitated the program for seven years and we will never use anyone else. They are engaging and approachable and, most importantly, they understand our culture. They are not outsiders, but part of us.

Executive Vice President, Fairfax Insurance Group

The NM Solution:

We’re the catalyst that gets your people unstuck, and your business moving

Our edge is our people. We’re a highly curated team, with experience across industries and disciplines. We really care about this work. We’re forensic. We pull together threads, weave the micro and the macro, and balance the business and the psychology. We don’t just preach ‘one size does not fit all’, we live it – genuinely working with people to ensure that strategy becomes action.
‍
We have firm relationships across finance, tech, media, local government and beyond. We have worked with all the Magic Circle Law Firms, and all the Big 4 Accounting and Consultancy Firms. We have been taken by executives from company to company, from private to public sector, and back again.
‍
We’ve worked across organisations for 40 years. Times change, problems and opportunities come and go, but people challenges fundamentally remain the same.
