Where Psychology Meets Science.
Where Strategy Becomes Reality.

We combine strategic thinking with behavioral intelligence to solve complex problems. While traditional consultants focus primarily on analysis and recommendations, we understand that successful strategies must account for human psychology and behavioral patterns. Our approach synthesizes data-driven insights with deep understanding of how people respond to change, ensuring recommendations that work in the real world.

We specialize in critical inflection points where organizations face high-stakes decisions under pressure. This includes mergers and acquisitions, organizational restructuring, reduction in force situations, major strategic pivots, technology transformations, and crisis management. Essentially, we work with leaders when the stakes are high and clarity is essential.

Our methodology combines stress psychology with organizational systems thinking. We create real-time feedback loops that help distinguish between actual performance and perceived performance during crisis periods. Our calm, even-keeled approach allows us to cut through noise and focus on what truly matters for strategic success.

It depends on whether you need surgery or physical therapy.

Crisis Navigation (6-12 weeks): When you need immediate stabilization and decision clarity during mergers, layoffs, or market disruptions.

Strategic Transformation (3-6 months): When you're redesigning how your organization thinks, decides, and executes.

Leadership Development (Ongoing): When you're building internal PSYENCE capability through coaching and team development.

We focus on delivering measurable value quickly while ensuring sustainable results. Unlike traditional consultants who drag engagements out, we're successful when you can maintain improvements without us.

Leaders who are tired of consultants who explain problems without solving them.

Typical clients:

• Sales VPs watching competitors execute better with worse strategies

• CEOs whose strategic plans die in implementation

• PE-backed companies needing rapid performance improvement

• Division presidents navigating post-merger chaos

• Executives facing critical decisions under extreme pressure

What they have in common:

• Smart enough to know something's systemically broken

• Honest enough to admit previous solutions haven't worked

• Decisive enough to commit to real change

• Strategic enough to value capability-building over quick fixes

If you're looking for someone to validate your current approach, we're not the right fit. If you want someone to diagnose what's actually broken and fix it, let's talk.

Those are academic disciplines that inform our work. PSYENCE is an applied professional discipline.

Think of it this way:

• I-O Psychology studies workplace behavior in controlled settings

• Behavioral Economics studies decision-making patterns in markets

• PSYENCE integrates insights from both (and neuroscience, cognitive psychology, organizational behavior) with scientific methodology to solve real business problems in real time.

We're practitioners, not researchers. We use academic insights to drive measurable business outcomes.

Success is measured by the sustainability of strategic decisions and the organization's improved capacity to navigate future challenges. We track decision outcomes, behavioral consistency, and the reliability of business results. Most importantly, we measure whether your organization can maintain strategic thinking capacity independently after our engagement.

We begin with a strategic assessment to understand your specific situation, challenges, and objectives. This includes evaluating organizational readiness, identifying key stakeholders, and understanding the behavioral dynamics at play. From there, we develop a customized approach that addresses your unique needs and timeline.

Absolutely. We're designed to complement and enhance existing capabilities rather than replace them. Our behavioral intelligence approach often helps other consultants and internal teams be more effective by addressing the human factors that can make or break strategic initiatives.

Change is expected, especially during complex transitions. Our approach includes real-time feedback mechanisms that allow us to adjust strategies based on evolving conditions. We're specifically designed to maintain strategic clarity even when circumstances shift unexpectedly.
