XIR in action

Embedded support makes a real difference.

Rebuilding trust
An SME had been acquired by a large corporate, but 18 months in, trust had broken down. Teams were siloed, communication had soured, and blame was getting in the way of progress.

An XIR was needed to help reset the relationship. Through a series of facilitated conversations, we surfaced tensions, rebuilt connection, and agreed on shared values and behaviours. We supported leaders on both sides to embed those shifts in the way they worked together.

Clarity and alignment
After a major review, the leadership team needed help making sense of the findings and moving forward with focus.

We led a 10-week sprint to unpack the issues, clarify purpose and priorities, and co-create a clear action plan. We worked across levels, engaging both frontline teams and GMs from multiple organisations in the sector to create alignment and momentum.

Freeing the founders
As a fast-scaling geothermal tech company grew, the demands on its founders increased. They needed space to focus on what mattered most: their people, their purpose and the next phase of growth.

We partnered with the team to reset structure, clarify direction and capture what mattered most. Together, we created a values manifesto and realigned roles as the business evolved. This remains a high-trust partnership. When the team needs fresh energy, focused thinking or space to regroup, the XIR steps in.
