Grain of Sand is an organisational development practice. We believe organisations are complex. There are few silver bullets. We know that every organisation’s productivity is impacted by the dynamic system of leadership effectiveness, organisational culture and employee motivation. We make that system work better.
To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.
William Blake,
Auguries of Innocence
When an irritant, sometimes a grain of sand, becomes lodged in a mussel or oyster, nacre is secreted around the foreign object and a gem of remarkable beauty, a pearl, can be formed.
Our name takes its inspiration from both these ideas:
Blake’s insight that in the smallest and most every day things, we can see universal truths
– we can gain knowledge of the whole by examining the parts; and that from the provocative
and controversial, from challenging the status quo, wonderful outcomes can be created.
We help you understand your organisation better and spark improvement.
