Breakthrough Change was founded in 1998 by John and Kay, two corporate banking professionals working in London during the ‘80s and ‘90s. Having seen the power of organisational change first hand, they understood what poorly-managed change programmes can do to the people involved – and the knock-on impact to an organisation’s bottom line.

Breakthrough Change launched with simple, skill – centric workshops that demystified the subtleties of key communication and business skills that result in poorly – performing teams.
In 2005, we created a collaborative Project Management Office to manage a series of Government Owned, Contractor Operated projects valued at £4.6 billion. These projects spanned a wide range of industries in the UK and US, including Construction, Engineering, Design, Science, Mechanics, Electrical, HVAC, and Nuclear. Breakthrough Change became capable of handling the full spectrum of corporate cultures.

That’s when our High-Performance Team Development Programme was born.

Based on 20 years of world class research by McKinsey, Harvard, Deloitte and MIT, we conducted a meta study that showcased the 6 pillars of high-performance teams. From this, we developed a High – Performance Team Questionnairetm (HPTQtm) to measure how teams perform within each of the 6 pillars. HPTQs were successful used on 51 complex projects with an average project value of £2.2 billion. Additionally, we achieved a 1.48% saving on the CAPEX budgets, which equates to £200M in CAPEX reduction; testament to the high level of trust, collaboration, and respect we’ve developed across a diverse range of contractors and stakeholders.

Why insight is nothing without integrity

Breakthrough Change has 24 years’ experience in the industry. We’ve worked with over 167 clients and 30,500 individuals But industry insight is worth nothing if it is not implemented with integrity and respect for everyone involved.
Because real breakthrough change happens within people, not just within corporations.
