“Improved working relationship by clarifying a misalignment.”
IMPACT
Performance you can feel.
Impact you can measure.
We measure the human impact people experience and the commercial impact organisations can track — because the strongest performance systems create both.
Head + Heart impact, reported and measured
HEAD + HEART
Human outcomes and commercial outcomes belong together.
The same rituals that improve trust and clarity also reduce wasted effort, protect focus and create measurable operational value.

Less guessing. Less back-and-forth. More useful work.
THE OPPORTUNITY
2 days*
Imagine every employee having two days of wasted effort each month replaced with focused, aligned work.
Our proprietary cognitive-waste avoidance methodology tracks time lost to rumination, misalignment and unnecessary back-and-forth, then models the value of redirecting that time into productive work.

HOW WE MEASURE
Not just “Did you enjoy it?”
We measure what changed, what time was protected and what useful work became possible as a result.

Rumination, wasted effort, trust, misalignment and time already lost.

Human outcomes plus operational value, time saved and avoided cognitive waste.

CASE STUDY 01
Beat workload stress
LEADERSHIP COACHING
WHAT WAS NEEDED
Zurich managers were experiencing high workloads due to business growth and thier success in the market. Constant pressure can affect decision-making, resilience and the ability to lead proactively, so Zurich took a proactive approach.
WHAT WE DELIVERED
A co-designed coaching workshop built around simple, science-backed leadership rituals to help managers rethink stress, show up deliberately and lead with confidence under pressure.
IMPACT WE MEASURED
Managers reported greater clarity, control and confidence, with a shift from firefighting towards leading with more intent.
CASE STUDY 02
Tough conversations
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES
WHAT WAS NEEDED
Ekimetrics managers and senior consultants were delaying difficult conversations about scope, timelines and performance, creating rework, late nights and avoidable frustration.
WHAT WE DELIVERED
A targeted coaching and development programme using mindset shifts, five-minute rituals and realistic practice to make difficult conversations a shared leadership responsibility.
IMPACT WE MEASURED
Participants reported increased empathy and trust, with issues raised earlier, less tension and less rework.
CASE STUDY 03
Confidence and trust
PERFORMANCE PROGRAMMES
WHAT WAS NEEDED
Newcastle Sixth Form College had plenty of staff feedback, but insight was not translating into visible change and colleagues did not always feel their concerns were shaping action.
WHAT WE DELIVERED
A co-created rituals programme that turned survey insight into practical behaviour change, including two ritual programmes and meeting culture cards designed with staff and leaders.
IMPACT WE MEASURED
Staff reported more confidence in manager conversations, stronger collaboration and a greater sense that their opinions were being heard.
