Origins
Having worked both as consultants and in industry, we were frustrated with the established approaches to business change and with the ‘set and forget / land and expand’ strategies of traditional consulting houses.
Recognizing the need for new ways of working, we developed our Respond workshop, a fully online strategy-to-roadmap service based on our Intention to Outcome framework.
What’s in a name?
Hedwyn comes from the Welsh word for knowing, or knowledge. Hence our strapline, “know your business“. We work with the people who own and run businesses to give them clarity and confidence through knowledge.
Our team
Our track record spans the largest multi-nationals to rapidly growing start-ups, from one-off investigative workshops to full-scale digital transformations; the Hedwyn team have started and scaled businesses, advised C-suite executives, and delivered countless growth, change and digital projects around the world.
In addition to the core consultants featured below, Hedwyn has a global network of trusted partners and associates.
