WILD for Organisations
The Challenges
We know that good decisions and purposeful innovation depend upon collaboration, diverse inputs and challenging perspectives; but today’s businesses are often overwhelmed by high workloads, tight timeframes and increased social fragmentation caused by remote working.
Individuals can become siloed and isolated, shared values and goals can become less visible, initiative and agency often slip into decline.
Artificial Intelligence is rapidly changing the way we work, bringing both opportunity and significant challenge to work culture. This has deepened a critical need to reduce chronic stressors, enhance wellbeing and increase adaptive capacity.
In the face of these challenges, employers seek to improve business performance and organisational culture by optimising their approaches to strategy, recruitment, onboarding, professional learning, performance management and succession planning. At a premium are distinctively human attributes, such as mindful agency, initiative, resilience, the use of imagination and intuition, curiosity, sense making, purposeful values and place-based storytelling.
A sense of belonging and the opportunity to think and learn together are the crucial foundations that develop innovation and organisational resilience. These competencies require deep listening skills, psychological safety and a shared language for learning and creating strategy together.
For businesses or community organisations that aim to encourage customer behaviour change at scale - for example through healthier eating, reducing energy or resource consumption, or living within financial constraints – the challenges are significant. How can you manage and shape customer expectations, encouraging consumers to think differently and make different decisions?

Our Training Programmes
As our clients travel on their transformational learning journeys, we travel with them. Over time, we are able to develop discussions and strategy around how organisations can develop their own self-reliance and sustainable leadership of learning and strategy in a new paradigm.
We support this deep capacity building with two training programmes. Each programme builds upon the foundational training that we offer to become a WILD coach. The first programme, which is pitched at Master’s level, aims to prepare the leaders and aspiring leaders in an organisation for a totally reimagined approach to create systemic change. The second programme, pitched at Diploma level, is specifically focused on developing the capacity of learning professionals to create the conditions for change and growth.
With a wealth of research and experience, our programmes are designed to get the best out of people, personally, professionally and in everything they do, helping them to unlock their potential and create resilient, confident and aspiring individuals.
Our Founder, Professor Ruth Crick is a world leading expert in learning and leading for resilient agency. Our WILD learning programmes draw extensively upon her published and peer reviewed research.
