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 bring people together to align fast, build trust, and get moving on what matters.

We coach leaders

We stretch thinking, challenge assumptions, and support leaders as they navigate change.

We rethink the system

We make structures and processes work with people, not against them.

We build capacity

We equip internal teams to lead the charge with confidence, clarity, and tools that stick.

We codify the approach

We turn what works into simple, practical tools anyone can use — again and again.

We spread what sticks

We create the conditions for new mindsets and ways of working to take root and spread.

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.

What our clients say

Meet the Team

We’re Kindred — a small team with deep experience inside complex, global organisations. We’ve worked across sectors — from global brands to NGOs — helping leaders make progress in complex organisations. We stay small on purpose. So you work with us directly — no layers, no handoffs, just thoughtful, refreshingly human support. But we’re not doing this alone. When the work calls for it, we partner with a trusted network of associates — people we know, rate, and love working with — to bring extra depth, experience, or capacity. We don’t scale fast. We grow carefully, through relationships and shared values. Because for us, it’s always been about one thing: Great work with great people.
