We design the organisation for how work runs now.
The People group is where transformation actually lands — or stalls. We redesign the organisation for the way work runs in 2026, make change stick, and help founder- and family-owned businesses pass the baton intact.
Because the blocker to value is almost never the model. It's the organisation.
What this group does.
The hardest part of any transformation isn't the strategy or the software — it's the people and the organisation around them. In 2026, with AI agents taking on real work, the question of how a company is structured, staffed, and led has become the difference between capability that ships and capability that sits idle.
The People group designs the organisation for how work actually runs now: roles built for human-plus-agent teams, an operating model where decisions flow, and capability built in rather than endlessly hired. We make change programs that land instead of stall, and we bring struggling businesses back to performance with candor and a clear plan.
It's also home to one of Aadi's most distinctive practices: family and founder-owned business succession. Passing a business to the next generation — intact, governed, and growing — is among the most consequential transitions an owner faces, and one where judgment matters more than scale. It ties directly to our Capital arm when a transition involves a recapitalisation or a partial sale.
The service lines inside.
Each is a full capability with its own detailed page. Open one to go deeper.
Organisation & People
We design the organisation for how work actually runs now — including alongside AI agents.
- Org & role design — structure built for human-plus-agent work.
- Operating model — how decisions and work actually flow.
- Talent & capability — AI fluency built in, not just hired.
- Culture & adoption — change people actually take up.
- Leadership alignment — a team rowing the same way.
Transformation & Turnaround
We make change land — and bring struggling businesses back to performance.
- Change programs — designed to stick, not stall.
- Performance recovery — margin and momentum restored.
- PMO & delivery — the discipline that gets it done.
- Restructuring — hard decisions, handled with candor.
- Stakeholder management — everyone moving together.
Family Business & Succession
We help founder- and family-owned businesses pass the baton intact — and grow through the change.
- Succession planning — the next generation, ready.
- Governance — clear roles, clean decisions.
- Next-gen transition — leadership that holds.
- Family charter — the rules everyone agrees to.
- Value creation — the business stronger, not just handed over.
Five ways to bring us in.
Scoped to the outcome, not the hours. Most engagements start with a short readiness conversation, then take one of these shapes.
Build sprint
A fixed-scope build that ships a working system, product, or model in weeks — not a phased programme that never lands.
Embedded operator
We sit inside your team and run the function — building, hiring, fixing — until it's self-sustaining, then hand it over.
Readiness program
We get you ready for what's next — a raise, a sale, an AI rollout, a new market — and close the gaps before they cost you.
Fractional capability
A senior CFO, CMO, CSO, CHRO, or CTO for as long as you need one — full weight, part time, no permanent overhead.
Principal partnership
Where we believe, we put skin in — capital alongside you, or our work for a share of the upside instead of a full fee.
Two angles, in the sectors we know.
Where this group does its sharpest work — and what we'd back alongside it.
The things people ask first.
Isn't 'change management' just workshops and slides?
Not here. We design the structure, run the delivery, and stay until the change is operating — measured by adoption and performance, not attendance.
How do you approach AI's impact on roles?
Honestly. We redesign roles around what humans do best and what agents do best, build the team's fluency, and protect psychological safety through the remix rather than pretending nothing changed.
What makes your family-business work different?
We treat it as both a human transition and a value event. Governance, succession, and the family charter on one side; recapitalisation and value creation — with our Capital arm — on the other.
Can you help a business that's in trouble, not just growing?
Yes. Turnaround and restructuring are core to this group. We tell it straight, stabilise performance, and rebuild — and where it fits, our distressed-intelligence venture, Errored Coin, informs the call.
Need the organisation to keep up?
Tell us where work is getting stuck. We'll help you design the organisation — and the change — to move it.
