Contact usThe phrase 'organisational diagnostic' sounds clinical, and the reality is more conversational than most clients expect. This article walks through what the four-week process at NexWave CoreShift actually looks like, what we are listening for, and what the final report contains. If you are considering commissioning one, this should answer most of the practical questions.

As the organisation grows and the leadership team expands, that informal correction mechanism stops working, and misalignment accumulates quietly until something forces it into the open.
Read more →Change readiness is often treated as a binary: either the organisation is ready or it is not. In practice it is more granular than that. An organisation can be highly ready on some dimensions and genuinely unprepared on others, and knowing which is which before an initiative launches makes a significant difference to how the programme is designed and resourced.
Read more →We spend the first engagement listening and mapping before we recommend anything. Most organisations already know the symptom; we help locate the source.
Every report, every slide, every conversation is written for the people who have to act on it, not for the people who commissioned it.
We work alongside your team for the duration of an engagement, not just at the kickoff and the debrief. That means we catch things that a two-day audit never would.
Answer three questions about your organisation's current situation and we will point you toward the engagement that is most likely to be useful.
Fiona Micklewright spent eleven years inside large financial services firms in Toronto before she decided she was more useful on the outside. She had led three enterprise-wide transformation programmes at a mid-size insurance group, the last of which involved restructuring a 200-person operations division over eighteen months. That project taught her more about organisational inertia than any MBA module could. In 2018 she founded NexWave CoreShift to work directly with leadership teams who know something needs to change but are not sure where to start. She reads widely in systems theory, keeps a vegetable garden that she describes as "a useful lesson in patience," and replies to every enquiry herself.
