BUILDING CORE PEOPLE STRENGTH IN YOUR ORGANISATION
Core People Strength is a boutique consultancy that focuses on the human side of organisational design and development.
​
We believe that organisations can only perform when people are truly seen as their core strength. So, our role is to help organisations identify their core people strength, build on those strengths, and deliver long term outperformance.
OUR SERVICES
STRATEGIC TRANSFORMATION CONSULTANCY
We can help you identify, what makes your organisation tick, what your people on the ground say (the good, the bad and the ugly) and unleash your organisational CPS.
STRATEGIC TRANSFORMATION DESIGN
We take the CPS diagnostic data and turn it into something meaningful, it's more than just a strategy, it's a roadmap built around your CPS to help you get further faster.
CORE STRENGTH DELIVERY
We work with your people to ensure that they are able to contribute sustainably to the delivery of the CPS roadmap.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
We design bespoke solutions for your people, a bit like a personal plan at the gym, where every person has a plan that capitalises on the organisational CPS and their own CPS.
WHAT WE DO
We help organisations and leaders get under the skin of what makes their organisation 'tick'.
We focus on what you want to keep hold of, or as we like to call it your Core People Strength.
We know from years of experience that you go further faster by capitalising on what you already do well. Once we understand what makes the organisation tick, we work a bit like a designer and help you shape an organisation around your core people strength. We look at the entire people life cycle to ensure that every action/process/way of working helps reinforce your desired end state.
OUR PROCESS
Our COREPEOPLESTRENGTH programme uses a SIMPLE 5-STEP approach:
STEP 1
We use our CPS diagnostic and COACH a cross section of your people to IDENTIFY and understand your organisations core people strengths.
​
STEP 2
We PARTNER with your people team to review all of your current systems and processes to identify where they reinforce or detract from your Mission.
STEP 3
We don't believe in copying someone else's strategy. We know that every organisation is different - a bit like human beings! We use your diagnostic to DEVELOP your roadmap.
STEP 4
We work with you to CREATE tailored solutions. But we don't just parachute in to fix things, we work with you to make sure you can do this sustainably with your people.
STEP 5
We help you DELIVER what you say you will do. Strategies can fail because there is a disproportionate balance between talking and doing. We help you put as much energy into the doing as the talking.
BESPOKE
We don't just do the whole culture system thing though. We also offer bespoke interventions ranging from graduate development (graduate programmes), leadership and team development, executive coaching and change implementation toolkits.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT US
ASAHI EUROPE AND INTERNATIONAL
“Oliver has been a fantastic partner for Asahi. He has been the creative designer and inspiring deliverer of our new Asahi Future Leaders program, FL-EDGE, for the past 3 years. The feedback from the 40 or so graduates from over 10 countries across Europe and Asia, each year on the program has been outstanding, they love his informal engaging style mixed with his outstanding knowledge and experiences which they can relate to. This is quite an achievement across so many different cultures and this age group! I especially appreciated his agility and speed responding to COVID 19 lockdown and turning the program into an engaging on-line program, while still keeping all the feelings of connectivity, well-being and fun. I look forward to our continued partnership.”
