About Us
Our sole purpose is to improve leadership culture and to deliver lasting and measurable organisational change. Our ideas and our experience are worth nothing unless we can use them to nudge the dial of human behaviour. We are here to deliver a quantifiable positive difference to your operational performance and your business results.
Values
Insatiably curious
In our business the learning never ends. No problem or client is ever exactly the same. We love immersing ourselves in the unique challenges and complexities of different businesses and industries. That same insatiable curiosity has bred a culture of experimentation within our own team. We are constantly challenging our assumptions and exploring new ways to increase our value to clients. In recent years the opportunities presented by technology have allowed us to radically transform our offering.
Committed
To implement change successfully, you need to stay the course. It was our dissatisfaction with existing “flash-in-the-pan” training experiences that shaped the way we now work. We aren’t interested in one-off workshops, no matter how inspiring. We create programmes specifically engineered to create meaningful long-term change.
Broadminded
Over the last 20 years we have helped thousands, maybe tens of thousands of different businesses. That said, whenever we meet a new client, we never let our history influence the moment. We always leave assumptions at the door. We welcome the possibility of new or different answers, even when those answers take us into completely new territory. Our solutions are always uniquely tailored to the specific needs of every different client.
Practical
Consultancy. Leadership Development. Skills Training. Like our own backgrounds, the tools we use to get results are eclectic and wide ranging. That said, we never get lost in theory. We are committed to distilling our advice into clear and highly practical actions and suggestions. We understand how difficult change can be, so we always break down the path to long term goals into simple, everyday steps.
History

In 2019, three new investors, Doug Sawers, Jeremy Campbell and Atholl Duncan joined forces with Tim Richardson and his team to set about growing and developing BIG to meet the challenges of the Twenty Twenties.
Black Isle Group has a proud history and is planning for an even more successful future.
