About Socia

We say what needs to be said. We are unafraid to ask the difficult questions and to bring things into the open. We tackle conflict head on, so that individuals and teams can begin to work openly and effectively.

We bring a new viewpoint. We help people to see beyond their immediate needs. We help people to understand the perspectives of others. We use our experience to help others look at things in a different way.

We’re pragmatic and practical. We understand the needs and systems of organisations. We translate our advice into practical solutions that help bring about lasting change.

We know how businesses work. We have worked as management consultants at a senior level in many areas of the public and private sector. We understand different organisations and the processes of change so we can make recommendations that recognise the specific business context.

We bring experience from other sectors. Most issues that arise within and between businesses are nothing new – we have seen it all before. We draw on this experience to apply learnings and innovations from other sectors to get to solutions quickly.

We get to the heart of the issue. We look beyond the confines of each assignment to identify where the real issues lie. And we take steps to resolve those quickly and effectively.

We’re a sounding board. We’re on hand to give advice when it’s needed, to advise our clients when they need it, to give individuals the confidence to make decisions.
