Helping founders build business endurance
amid global turbulence.

Many businesses are still meeting their numbers.
But leaders sense that underneath, something is eroding.

The same tensions play out.
Decision-making slows down.
Politics creep in.
Energy drains.
Trust falls.

When this happens, leaders usually turn to one of two options.

The image shows a microphone on a stand with a black background.

Large consulting firms bring rigour, analysis, and credibility, but often stop short of engaging the internal social silences, decision logics and behaviours that determine whether change actually sticks.

This is a black and white illustration of a fish with a person holding a fishing rod, and a small boat in the background.

Coaching and leadership programmes create reflection and awareness, but can feel too soft, at times too risky and largely disconnected from the commercial and economic reality.

Both help, but stop short of addressing the tensions that
erode endurance and long-term value creation.

Adaptiv sits deliberately between these two worlds.

We combine the economic focus of consulting, with the systemic depth of team and leadership coaching, without the downsides of either.

Our focus is on the endurance of the business
and its capacity to create
economic surplus
in a turbulent and uncertain world.

A focused one- to two-day engagement with founders and leadership teams.

The Lab surfaces the hidden decision logics and leadership behaviours that quietly erode trust, performance, and long-term value — and translates that clarity into a shared, practical reset.

Why this work matters now.

We are operating in a period of sustained global turbulence.
Supply chains, geopolitics, markets, technology, and social expectations are shifting simultaneously.

In this environment, adaptive capacity and leadership coherence are no longer “nice to have”.
They are the conditions for enterprise endurance.
