About Us

Facilitation is a leadership discipline, not a meeting format.

We are Explore Change Partners — a small team of facilitators, coaches, and organisational designers who work with leadership teams navigating complexity, change, and growth.

We bring deep expertise in group dynamics, adult learning, and organisational behaviour to every engagement. Our role isn't to have the answers — it's to design the process that helps your team find them.

Every session is custom-designed. We listen first, then build. No templates dropped on your agenda.

Recent Work

A few of the rooms we've been in lately.

Workshop at Oatly

Worked with Oatly's community managers — the frontline voice of the brand — to help them reflect on how they lead and collaborate. Ben on the floor, facilitating honest conversations about what was working and what wasn't. A session built around real dynamics, not a prepared agenda.

Actionable insights on how the team leads and works together — with a shared language for moving forward.

Leadership session at IKEA

A workshop for IKEA's transformation leaders exploring how to design intentional processes in complex, emergent contexts. Leaders worked through real cases — assessing current states, identifying waypoints, and designing adaptive next steps when the path ahead isn't clear.

Transformation leaders equipped with tools and confidence to navigate complexity without over-engineering it.

Ongoing programme at Onomondo

Six sessions into an ongoing leadership programme with Onomondo — a fast-scaling IoT company where leaders operate inside systems they don't fully control. Each session focused on a different dimension of impact: where attention goes, how influence works, and how to lead when you can't mandate outcomes.

A reflective leadership practice taking root across the team, with leaders showing up more intentionally.

What We Do Best

Four ways we work with you.

Design & Facilitation

Leadership Offsites

We design and run offsites that actually move things forward — honest conversations, real decisions, not just a good day out of the office.

Full programme design from brief to debrief
Multi-day and single-day formats
On-site or international facilitation
Post-offsite synthesis and action planning

Workshops & Working Sessions

Team Facilitation

We facilitate the sessions your team finds hardest to run well — strategy reviews, alignment, conflict, and complex problem-solving.

Strategy and planning workshops
Cross-team alignment sessions
Problem-framing and decision-making
Retrospectives and team health checks

Structure & Ways of Working

Organisational Design

When structure isn't serving your strategy, we help you see it clearly and redesign it thoughtfully — not just a new org chart.

Current-state diagnostics and listening tours
Operating model and structure design
Roles, responsibilities, and decision rights
Change narrative and transition planning

Our Approach

We design the journey, then walk it with you.

Listen deeply

We start by understanding your team, your system, and the real challenge beneath the presenting one.

Design intentionally

Every session is built from scratch to fit your specific goals, people, and moment.

Facilitate honestly

We run the room with care and courage — keeping things moving, honest, and grounded in what matters.

Follow through

We help you capture decisions, assign ownership, and build on the momentum you've created.

“They focus on creating a safe space for direct feedback, encouraging participation and engagement from all team members… They also give us an unbiased viewpoint, helping to identify underlying issues we might otherwise overlook.”

Simon Broadbent

SVP Operations & Sustainability · Oatly

“These two have unlocked more of a shared approach to leadership… Their style provides the nice balance of pushing people outside their comfort zone, holding tensions when needed, but without damaging psychological safety.”
