Sustainable future
Civil society, consumers, employees, investor and our planet urgently needs many more businesses to put sustainability at the core of their business models. Our single-minded focus is on enabling those that can embrace a new way forward thrive in a world that requires transformational change. We will do this by:
Tools and technology
Providing 21st century tools and assessment technology to ensure that what gets said, gets done. Like the SOI® toolkit, our immutable assessment system has a proven track record, having been utilised over many years by clients across the world in both the public and private sector.
World-class advisors
Attracting the very best business advisors from across the planet to help us scale our efforts. Only those with the right skills, shared values and the desire to implement change are invited to take part in our extensive training programme and become part of a like-minded community that is worldwide, and world-class.
SOI® and values
Ensuring all our actions and decisions are totally and consistently guided by our SOI® and the values that underpin it. Through collaboration, being straightforward, generous and, when necessary, courageous, we aim to make change possible.
Neil is best known as the conceiver of SOI®. A straight-talking former soldier, designer, entrepreneur, author and self-styled business humaniser, Neil is a champion of practical, sustainable change.
Neil’s drive to find an alternative to the status quo began in 2002 when he left a senior position at WPP to seek a new way forward in a world of work he judged to be both unfair and unsustainable. Driven by a passion to find pragmatic solutions for his clients, his work as a strategic advisor led him to working across five continents on major projects for businesses, large and small, NGOs and multilateral agencies.
In 2017 his idealism and desire to help and share what he has learned led to him writing the award winning book CORE and in 2020 publishing the CORE Playbook.

David Bonbright is a globally recognised and sought after pioneer dedicated to helping businesses maximise their social impact through mutual accountability.
A Californian by birth and lawyer by training, David’s career was shaped
in South Africa during the struggles of the 1980s and an unexpected meeting in 2004 with Nelson Mandela who underlined to him that “in social change, as in our own personal and social lives, it is relationships that determine outcomes”. It was an inspirational lesson that led to David’s creation of the widely praised performance measurement method Constituent Voice™ and in more recent times the SOI® Learning Loop System.
