ABOUT OUTSIDE

We work alongside leaders to overcome their greatest challenges by inspiring, empowering, and mobilising their teams to redefine the limits of human performance, teamwork, and organisational potential. 
 
We do this by applying the latest research of mindset to solve fundamental human and business problems.


WE HAVE THREE AIMS


1. Consultancy:
To help leaders and society build the new economy by creating organisations and cultures capable of harnessing the full depth of human beings in an automated world.


2. Research:
To accelerate the translation of new research that increases understanding of how mindsets work into ideas, practices, and tools that anyone can use to build their well-being, performance, and ability to change.


3. The Common Good:
To share what we learn with the world so everyone can benefit from the potential of their mindset.


OUR PURPOSE

Be a driving force of human evolution


We believe mindset can become our greatest asset for our wellbeing and performance, and it is something everyone can build.


Our mindset enables us to make sense of who we are in the world. A capacity that gives anyone the potential to make wiser decisions, take better care of themselves and others and improve their chances of living a fulfilling and satisfying life. Our commercial work is invested in our research. We continue to refine our approaches, and we commit to sharing these regularly to ensure they have the broadest impact on society.

WORKING WITH US


Our goal is to empower our clients with inspiring ideas, insights, and practical solutions, not to create dependency.
Four principles guide how we work with our clients:

  • MUTUAL AMBITION

    We treat each client’s business challenge as if it is our own. Mutual ambition is about deeply understanding the reality, desired outcomes, and the realistic nature of possibility.

    Button

  • FIRST PRINCIPLE THINKING

    We seek to understand problems fully so our solutions work at the deepest level and deliver real, long-term value. The diversity of thinking and skills at Outside encourage everyone to think beyond their worldview and expertise.

    Button

  • TRUE PARTNERSHIPS

    Our way of thinking and working leads to true partnerships – where we feel in it together and can be brave, creative, and tenacious in always aiming for exceptional outcomes.

  • FOCUS ON OUTCOMES

    Great work is only meaningful if it makes a difference. Religiously sticking to a brief when it’s clear we won’t achieve the result is worthless. We believe vision, skills and emotional courage make things happen and we work with our clients to inspire this across its leaders.
