HR (People & Culture)Consulting

From Culture to Profit.

HR Consultants Who Speak Business

Drucker once said, “Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast”. We believe you need both and the best organizations build People and Culture strategy into their overall strategic plan. What he didn’t say was how to create this strategy-eating culture. The good news is that we’ve figured it out for him (& you), because even the leading organizations have people and culture pains:

  • Keeping their best people
  • Attracting more great people
  • Getting everyone moving in the same direction
  • Reconciling organic culture with aspirational culture
  • Creating systems to channel culture into growth

Imagine If You Could...

  • Make Culture Your Competitive Advantage

    With information so easily available and the cost of technology reducing almost hourly, it’s becoming increasingly challenging to find a competitive advantage that’s difficult to copy. Our clients recognize that their company culture and employee experience are exceptionally hard to copy and lead to incredible business results. We engage to help companies codify what makes them uniquely great and better systematize their culture, so it scales.

  • Attract & Retain the Right People

    The right company culture executed well reduces attrition and makes organizations magnets for the great people they need. Our clients know this intuitively. There’s also ample evidence to support it. Glassdoor is an almost endless source of evidence in support of this. Engage us to help find the gaps and turn your company culture into one that’s admired and magnetic for the right people.

  • Identify Gaps & Opportunities in Your Company Culture

    What got us here is often not what will get us to where we want to go. Our strategic engagements help our clients identify what aspects of their culture are driving towards the future, and what is holding them back. We do this through an in-depth analysis, including interviews & focus groups, proprietary surveys, benchmarking the results and reviewing systems and processes. The outcome of our People & Culture Benchmarking engagement is an actionable list of the maximum points of leverage for your business.  

  • Scale Your Culture with Your Business

    Bigger doesn’t always mean better (but it can). Workplace culture, left to evolve organically as a company scales, can often go sideways if leaders aren't intentional about it.  How do we keep what’s great and shed what isn’t working as we expand? That’s a question we get from many fast-growing companies. We can help achieve this.

  • Foster a Sense of Belonging & Purpose

    There’s a wide variety of models from psychologists describing our “higher order needs”. Two truths most of them agree on is that for both our physical and mental health we need to feel part of a community that cares and we need to have a struggle worth fighting for (Belonging & Purpose). Increasingly, we’re looking to our work lives to provide these. The organizations that can (and do it well) are engaging their people to  the most productive people in the world.

"Trailblaze was there when we needed them. Jerry and Rhys both gave us excellent insights and tools to ensure the strongest possible team as we dealt with the uncertainty of the pandemic. They helped us distribute decision making and focus on the areas of most impact and I’ll never forget how they helped us weather the storm. A powerful combination of experience and insight - we recommend them highly. "
