Tidal seeks to include and align 4 key stakeholder groups that are collectively responsible for supporting learning and achieving sustainable behaviour change.
1. The Self-Directed Individual
Our fundamental aim is to support individuals to shift behaviour and become self-directed authors of their development. We inspire individuals to seek out continuous learning and to know where they can find support, skills, knowledge and wisdom when they may need it.
2. Informal Faculty
Every organisation boasts informal, capability builders such as functional experts, seasoned leaders, and a wide array of ‘unofficial’ teachers. We believe that these ‘informal faculty’ provide high value, culture-aligned learning spaces and conversations. They thus need to be identified, supported, and incentivised to share their knowledge and increase the frequency and skills of teaching, facilitating, coaching, and mentoring.
3. Tidal
Tidal is a full-service development partner, offering the following solutions to meet all aspects of an organisations people development need.
a. Strategy Development & Execution

b. Leadership and Skills Development

We specialise in the development of tangible and intangible reward processes and systems to retain your best and brightest talent. port has one clear objective – to help your business win in the market.
c. Leadership Team Dynamics and Development
We specialize in supporting teams to deliberately unlock the rare capabilities of high performance. We have a proven track record of shifting behaviours and character towards the rare 8% of teams that achieve sustained, high-performance metrics
d. Leading Culture Evolution
We believe cultures do not change; they evolve. We have incisive processes that articulate the primary and sub-cultural attributes of your business and support the capability of leaders to elevate the best and inhibit the least effective aspects of those cultures.
e. Leading Organisational Change
A small percentage of organisational change interventions have a proud record of desired success. We enable change projects to progress and achieve their strategic effect by recognizing that change only happens through action, small achievable steps and collective attention and support.
4. Extended Faculty
Every organisation has relationships with multiple learning and development providers, either in a B2B or individual partnership. We believe that these ‘extended faculty’ provide culture-aligned learning experiences and need to be identified, supported, and incentivised to become part of a more integrated and holistic development agenda within the organisation.
We believe that our role is to become your trusted advisor and partner you towards learning experiences that have the highest probability of transferring new knowledge into tangible, and observable behaviour change. We have thus chosen three commercial partners to offer specialist, global services that amplify all our behaviour change interventions:.
