We empower lasting change
that puts people first

The world around us is always changing

And for organisations wanting to stay ahead, agility, flexibility and the ability to change effectively are competitive advantages. But accomplishing effective and lasting change is a complex process that often falls short of its objectives.

At Forty1, we focus on empowering the element at the heart of every change… people

Forty1 brings the people side of change to organisational change programs.

Preparing people and teams to make change happen.

That’s what we do.

A fresh approach to change

We believe there are three core elements to empowering change.

Data
Uncovering robust data about where people are on their change journey, using our proprietary diagnostic tool
Behavioural Science
Applying the science of human behaviour to understand why they behave as they do
Creativity
Delivering creative interventions to move people along the change path to inspire lasting change that drives business goals

We partner with our clients every step of the way to turn insights into action.
