HEAR EVERYONE
enhancing INSIGHT and DISCOVERY, through Strategic Facilitation
The best answers to hard questions are rarely held by one person. They sit across a room, in the experience of everyone who builds, serves, sells and leads, whether those people share an office or have only just met. Maven brings those answers to the surface. Our strategic facilitation, powered by LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®, gives every voice equal weight, so insight comes from the whole room rather than the loudest people in it.
Our consultants then help organisations put that insight to work, using proven frameworks that connect strategy to measurable benefit. And when you need more, our growing network of Mavens across industry can introduce the specialists, project leaders and fractional talent to take you further.

NEWS
Thank you SXSW 2025!
Following the energy and success of 2024, Maven were privileged to be awarded an encore session for our facilitation & discovery Keynote at SXSW in Austin last year.
In 2027 we will be holding events in London and Manchester.
Contact Us for an invite to the session.
how do we do what we do?
Hear everyone. Decide together. Deliver with confidence.
Maven helps organisations make better decisions, starting with the people who know the business best.
Some clients come to us for a facilitated LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® session that surfaces what their whole team really thinks. Others come for expert consultancy, using frameworks that tie every initiative to the benefits it should deliver. Many do both. Whatever the starting point, our belief is the same: everyone you employ has a stake in your business, and the strongest strategies are built with them, not for them. As our network of Mavens grows across industry, we can also connect you with the specialists, project management and fractional support you need next.
Business Technology Solutions
In a world of technology buzzwords such as AI, Cloud, DevOps and more - the key starting point on any tech innovation project must be understanding the "5 Whys Methodology"
As we helped businesses begin with their priorities and the value outcomes - they have been proven to be more successfully with cutting-edge technology programmes for industries spanning Healthcare, Retail, right through to Manufacturing and Telco
The biggest technology failures begin and end with a failure to understand what value that innovation will brings. But by helping you map the value, we enable you to justify the time and monetary investment in your desired technology solutions.
Because no technology project should ever begin without a comprehensive business case .
But if that business case is only based in ROI? Then it isn't a business case.
AFTER THE BUILD...
Most change programmes don’t fail for lack of ambition. They fail because nobody can clearly connect the investment to the outcome, or because the people expected to deliver the change were never part of shaping it.
Our consultancy uses a Benefits Dependency Network to fix both problems. Together with your stakeholders, we map how your business drivers lead to strategic objectives, how those objectives become measurable benefits, and exactly which changes in people, process and technology will deliver them. The result is a roadmap everyone can see themselves in, and a business case that holds up to scrutiny.
Because if your business case is only based on ROI, it isn’t a business case.
AI DISCOVERY & Integration Services
How do you overcome the "Myths of AI"?
Through AI solutions assessment and discovery for AEBP and AEBT which streamline development, enhance decision-making, and revolutionise Innovation at "The Speed of Business"
Because if you don't know why you need AI, then you probably don't.
That's the value chain and that is what we help organsiations all over the world to understand.
