Transform. Restructuring and offboarding advisory for studios

Change and hard decisions, handled with dignity.

When the plan changes, through a restructure, a merger or layoffs, we help leaders make and communicate hard decisions fairly, legally and humanely.

How we work

Same five steps every time, scaled to the size of the problem.

  1. 01

    Discover

    We listen to founders and teams before we suggest anything.

  2. 02

    Assess

    We map people, processes and risks, and say plainly what we see.

  3. 03

    Design

    We shape the structure, the plan and the conversations ahead.

  4. 04

    Execute

    We do the work alongside your leaders, not from a slide deck.

  5. 05

    Evolve

    We measure, adjust and hand over so it lasts without us.

Usually a focused project.

Change work is time-bound and confidential, with a clear plan from first decision to the weeks after.

Typical length and format

  • 2 to 12 weeks, depending on scope
  • Confidential from the first conversation
  • Follow-up check-in 3 months later
