Data doesn't just tell stories:
it reveals hidden dynamics

About Us


Where Human Science Meets Data Science

70% of organisational change initiatives fail. The reason isn't strategy, budget, or technology—it's people. And most leaders have no idea who those people really are.


With the right tools, your data can reveal insights that were previously unimaginable.
Natural Language Processing and Network Analysis allow you to delve deep into your data, uncovering hidden patterns, understanding complex relationships, and predicting future trends.
We're not your typical consultancy. Our team combines the analytical rigor of energy engineering, the human insight of anthropology, and the precision of data science to show you what others can't see.

The Problem: Traditional talent management only shows you the org chart, missing the real influencers who drive change through informal networks and social capital.

Our Solution: We illuminate the invisible. While others focus on titles and hierarchies, we map the actual flow of influence, trust, and knowledge in your organisation.

Research proves that a small group of people creates disproportionate impact in every organization. Most go undetected because they don't appear on traditional radar. We break this paradigm by analyzing informal interactions and social capital footprints, revealing the hidden influencers who can make or break your initiatives.

Our unique blend of disciplines allows us to:

  • Engineer robust data collection systems that capture real organizational dynamics

  • Apply anthropological insights to understand how influence actually flows through human networks

  • Use advanced data science to quantify and visualise the invisible patterns that drive organisational behavior


We don't just find your hidden champions, we show you how to activate them.

Transform Your Organisation From Within

Reveal Connections & Unlock Insights

Organisational Network Analysis reveals the hidden social fabric of your company. While org charts show formal hierarchy, ONA maps the real relationships, who actually talks to who, where influence flows, and how knowledge truly moves through your organisation. ONA identifies communication bottlenecks, uncovers key influencers, and spots collaboration opportunities that traditional structures miss. As a result teams become more agile, decisions flow faster, and change happens with less resistance.

Culture Change That Actually Works

Skip the resource drain. Instead of launching expensive, company-wide initiatives that fall flat, identify your real influencers first. These hidden champions already have your workforce's trust—leverage them to drive genuine transformation.

Digital Transformation Success

70% of digital initiatives fail without employee buy-in. Don't waste millions on technology your people won't adopt. Your key opinion leaders can champion change from day one, turning resistance into momentum.

Digital Maturity

Many companies struggle with digital transformation due to a lack of leadership, resistance to change, or a technology-first approach. Success requires prioritizing customer needs and understanding current digital capabilities, leading to significant financial benefits.

M&A Integration Done Right

9 out of 10 mergers struggle due to cultural misalignment. The solution isn't external—it's already inside your organisation. Organisational Network Analysis (ONA) reveals the influencers who can secure buy-in and minimize resistance during integration.

Navigate the Hybrid Future

The pandemic reshaped work forever. Leaders need strategies that balance productivity, engagement, and innovation while prioritizing diversity and well-being. Your approach must be as flexible as your workforce.

What the Org Chart Doesn’t Show You

The first image is your traditional organisational chart — clear, hierarchical, and formal. The second image is the same organisation mapped using Organisational Network Analysis (ONA), weighted by real influence and collaboration.

This is the difference between titles and truth. ONA reveals the hidden connectors, bottlenecks, and informal leaders who actually drive performance, innovation, and change. When you manage networks instead of just structures, you unlock the full potential of your organisation.


Organisational Network Analysis (ONA) maps the informal relationships, knowledge flows, and influencers that drive decision-making, innovation, and collaboration. By visualising these hidden networks, leaders can identify key connectors, break down silos, and accelerate change with precision. When you manage networks instead of just structures, you unlock the full potential of your organisation.

What is Organisational Network Analysis (ONA)?

Organisational Network Analysis (ONA) maps the informal relationships, knowledge flows, and influencers driving decision-making, innovation, and collaboration. By visualising these hidden networks, leaders identify key connectors, break down silos, and accelerate change. ONA empowers data-driven decisions based on how people truly interact, not just their hierarchy.


The Science Behind the Connections: What is Network Theory?

The power of ONA stems from Network Theory, a scientific discipline studying relationships between distinct objects. It provides the fundamental principles to understand how people, teams, and information are connected.


Organisational Network Analysis (ONA) maps the informal relationships, knowledge flows, and influencers that drive decision-making, innovation, and collaboration. By visualising these hidden networks, leaders can identify key connectors, break down silos, and accelerate change with precision. When you manage networks instead of just structures, you unlock the full potential of your organisation.

Think of it this way:

  • Nodes: The individual "things" in a network, like people, departments, or ideas.

  • Edges: The connections or relationships between nodes, showing communication, collaboration, or shared knowledge.

Network Theory offers the analytical framework to quantify these relationships and uncover invisible patterns. It helps us answer questions like: Who are the most influential individuals? Are there isolated groups? How quickly does information spread?

ONA is the practical application of Network Theory specifically for human organisations. It applies these abstract concepts to real-world workplace interactions, providing actionable insights into an organisation's true dynamics. By understanding these underlying networks, you can strategically improve communication, foster innovation, and build a more resilient workforce.

Our Services

We Craft Data-Driven Innovation and Digital Evolution


Every organisation has invisible networks that drive real results—the informal connections where decisions actually happen, knowledge flows, and change takes root. Traditional org charts only show the formal structure, missing the relationships that power innovation, safety, and collaboration.


Our ONA services reveal these hidden connections across your organisation. Whether you're navigating digital transformation, strengthening safety culture, or ensuring diverse voices shape your future, we identify the influencers and networks that make transformation possible.

Transform how work really gets done.

Digital Transformation Readiness Assessment

Analyse your organisation's readiness for digital twins, IoT implementation, and automation technologies. Identify tech-savvy influencers who can drive adoption and spot resistance pockets before they derail your £millions investment.

Safety Culture Network Analysis

Map communication flows around safety protocols and incident reporting. Identify informal safety champions and potential blind spots in your safety network. Critical for companies where safety culture can literally save lives.

Diversity & Inclusion Network Mapping

Reveal hidden barriers to inclusion by mapping actual collaboration patterns across gender, ethnicity, and hierarchy levels. Identify where diverse voices are being heard—and where they're not—to create targeted intervention strategies.

Knowledge Transfer & Succession Planning

As experienced personnel retire, map their critical knowledge networks. Identify who holds tribal knowledge about legacy systems and create targeted mentorship connections to prevent knowledge loss in your technical operations.
