Origins

Having experienced both consulting and industry roles, we became disillusioned with the conventional approaches to business change and the outdated strategies employed by traditional consulting firms.Recognising the demand for innovative methods, we first created the Respond workshop — an entirely online strategy-to-roadmap service built upon 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.
