Hey Business Leaders!


Need to ignite change to grow your business?  Feeling daunted by the prospect? 


It's our mission to help SMEs grow better by design.


We help businesses to grow sustainably by building people-led strategies that help to magnetise customers, suppliers, employees, partners and investors.


And that can only be a good thing!


We work across a range of sectors and either as members of your executive team, or as hands-on consultants - you decide what works best for you.


Join the Dots

We help you as a business owner or leader to devise and align your target operating model to your business strategy, design organisational structures and roles and identify key capability and talent requirements.  We then help you to build out the organisation design for part or all of your organisation.

   

Result? An efficient operation that creates value.

Ignite your Culture

We work across all areas of your organisation to review your purpose/mission and values and to align the communication, behavioural, capability and engagement requirements across your operations. 

We co-create an end to end internal and external experience that supports your brand intent.


Result? A brand which magnetises people to you.

Our founder

Dotty Day

Hey there, I'm Dotty, a business strategy consultant specialising in organisation design, culture and HR Transformation for growing SMEs. 


After a corporate career, I founded Nu Leaf Change 13 years ago because I want to help as many businesses as possible to thrive - by design!


My associates and I are pragmatic business owners and we work with ethical business and social enterprise CEOs and C-Suite leaders who want to scale their operations sustainably and who care about doing the right thing by their people.   


In all cases, scaling-up will involve some redesign of your operations and change - a change of mindset, culture, accountabilities, governance, systems, policies, processes... or people.  Embarking on a growth journey is therefore not for the feint hearted!  But for those that have the guts and the grit, the rewards are there for the taking.  You just need to know how to align all the components to help you get there.


With experience of working with scale-ups taking them from 2-20, 45-450 and 8,000-10,000 employees and delivering culture and operating model design and change programmes for both SMEs and large-scale enterprises, I know what it takes to build the right structure and infrastructure for growth.  I also know first-hand how important it is to grow sustainably and to ensure that you maintain a positive brand reputation with ALL your stakeholders throughout your growth journey.         


There are many things to consider as you grow and how these all align make the biggest difference.  All too often business leaders just focus on the task of revenue and profit generation without considering the way the operation functions as a whole or the impact of their own style and ways of working on others.  So, we act as facilitators, critical friends and cheerleaders to ensure that leaders are mindful of the sum of all parts and can grow their business reputation and customer experience alongside their revenue and profit.

Our approach is made up of three core phases of work

Discovery

Here we conduct an in-depth review of the current state which includes identifying what you already do well and what could be even better.


Examples of the things we look at:


Business Strategy

Purpose, Vision & Mission

Governance and Policies

Systems and Processes

Happiness & Engagement

Operating Environment

Brand Narrative


Design

We then start to shape the core components of your transformation - aka the things that are going to make the biggest difference to your growth strategy and which will help to bring your people with you on the journey.


Such as:


Organisation Design

Tone of Voice

HR Processes

Values & Behaviours

Cultural Narratives

Transition Plans

Communications Plans

Delivery

And finally we set to work to draw up the change roadmap and narrative and roll our sleeves up to execute people change wherever you need us to.


The types of changes we deliver include embedding new:


Organisation Structures

Policies & Processes

Systems

HR Ways of Working

Communications Routines

Internal Collateral

Leadership Practices

and everything we do is guided by our core values

Curious

Creative

Collaborative
