What’s new at The Human Gap

Welcome to The Human Gap, and the elephant in the room.

What we’ve built, why it matters, and an online session on 28 October to finally talk about it.

Organisations invest millions in transformation, but even the best laid plans can fall short when they don’t reflect what people actually experience.

That’s The Human Gap. The distance between what leaders believe is happening and what people are really thinking, feeling and doing.

We help organisations make that gap visible, understand what’s driving it and take action, so change delivers the results it promises.

New challenges

How what people actually live through during change shapes the benefits a transformation delivers, and what you can do about it.

New conversations

Highlights from Whatever Next? Unplugged, and the people challenging how we think about change.

New thinking

Ideas, observations and questions I’m exploring around transformation, people and the gaps that get missed.

New services

The Unseen and Unsaid sessions, keynotes, diagnostics and support, all designed to help you see and close the gap.

The elephant in the room – is it part of The Gap

There is an elephant in most rooms, something someone may see but may not be prepared to say. This two hour online experience about the gap between what gets presented and what people actually think is where we tackle it. Join the next online taster on Wednesday 28 October at 1pm.

Coming next

More events, experiments, new work and the occasional preview of something I’m not quite ready to launch.


And if you’re one of the people who has helped shape The Human Gap along the way, thank you.

Much of this has come from conversations, challenges, frustrations and those moments when someone says, “Yes, that’s exactly what happens.”

There’s more to come.

Can you see it?
Can you say it?

You already know the meeting where everyone nodded and nobody believed it. The question is what you do in the room you’re actually in. Fifteen statements. Three honest scores.

What this means

Your Monday move

  1. Find one thing that is unseen in your work this week, and name it.
  2. Find one thing that is unsaid, and find a way to say it.

You already know. Come and do something about it.
