The problem we solve
Often the reality and the strategy don't meet.
Everyone agrees at the top. It doesn't translate into tangible value on the ground. Nobody is looking at it as a golden thread, from what the business decided to what people actually do every day.
That thread is what we build.

What it looks like
Customer satisfaction at Absa, in six months.
A customer experience and people transformation in Absa's Product Solution Cluster. Teams were restructured, real-time feedback was built into the work, and leaders were held accountable for the change.

What we do
Three ways we help.
Technology in itself doesn't move the needle. It is the frameworks, the processes and the buy-in.

How we work
Built inside the business, not delivered to it.
01
On your strategy
Every piece of work starts from what the business has decided, and stays tied to it.
02
On real work
Your people work on a live process or challenge. Never a case study.
03
Taught through the doing
The skills are learned while doing the work, not taught separately in a classroom.
04
Built by the people who own it
People only support what they help create. When we step out, the capability stays.
In their words
Their approach was as original and as cutting edge as anything we had experienced before. Both Google and our clients highly valued the experience of working with Genius Works.
Jared Molko, Head of Mobile Brand, EMEA, Google
Genius Works was a partner throughout our transformation journey, and resulted in revolutionary thinking around how employees show up in a fast paced agile working environment.
Andreas de Boer, Acting Head of Business Transformation, Absa
Their approach to designing business solutions is refreshing. I want to propose that we adopt their programme as a long-term learning solution in building innovation mindsets within the business.
