Better. Faster. Together.
Cross-functional collaboration in complex organisations.
Big goals don’t sit in one team.
They cut across functions, markets — even organisations.
Most companies are still structured for control, not collaboration. For scale, not speed. They slow down the very people trying to move things forward.
More process isn’t the answer. More decks won’t help. What’s needed is a better way of working — together. That’s where we come in.
Kindred is a collaboration consultancy. We help senior leaders in complex organisations deliver on their biggest goals by making cross-functional collaboration work.
No theatre. No 200-page decks. We embed with teams, work side by side, and focus on doing the work — not just talking about it.
Making real progress, together.
We help organisations to deliver better outcomes, faster.
Our Approach
We work with real-teams, on real-work
We don’t design big top-down culture change initiatives in an ivory tower and we don’t distract your teams from their day job. We wrap ourselves around real teams doing real work and building capability as they deliver.
We make dents, not decks
We don’t spend energy on presentations, we spend it with you inside your company. We help teams and organisations make small behaviour changes that have a big impact.
We make change refreshingly human
Understanding and enabling people to change is the hardest and most important thing of all.
That’s where we excel.
We meet you where you are
There is no blueprint. No rule book. Our back pockets are bursting with battle-tested frameworks and processes. But we always start small, simple, and personal, choosing the right tools as we go.
Our Work
We kickstart teams
We coach leaders
We rethink the system
We build capacity
We codify the approach
We spread what sticks
Our impact
We don’t train people to work differently. We help them do it — right now, on the real stuff that matters.
We start small, go deep, and work side-by-side to deliver better outcomes, faster. Then we build the systems, habits, and capability to spread it. That’s how change spreads — not through slides, but through experience.
Until collaboration isn’t an initiative — it’s just how things work.
