Why D!scover?
We help teams understand themselves better as individual contributors and leaders. We do this through the design of corporate cultures that derive alignment, cause a sense of belonging and bring equity back into the workplace.
Why are we different?
We bring people to the centre of transformation. Our journey begins with increasing the self awareness of your people to accelerate breakthroughs in your business organisation.
We do context first and design using Business Anthropology
When people understand themselves better, they can transparently introspect on provocative questions as:
- What sort of person am I?
- What kind of leader do I want to be?
- What do I have to do to become?
- Why do I constantly have friction with colleagues?
- How can I shift my mindset to focus on the task at hand?
The transformative power of self-awareness is a long term benefit raising the bar for everyone in the organisation.
Our Focus
We let people play by their strengths because they already got it. Then, through the use of our anthropological frameworks, we help you get to know your challenges so that you can work on them!
We are Anthropologists
-
We are uniquely equipped to study living culture. we bring critical expertise characterised by the ability to immerse ourselves in a context unfamiliar, to gain experience on the ground and gather insights from within a system, from multiple perspectives.
-
Just like 18th-century navigators, all we have is a map, a compass, then the sun, and the sea to help you and us figure out where your business is heading.

Our expertise in understanding diverse cultural practices, beliefs and values is crucial to helping organisations navigate multi-faceted aspects of corporate culture that influence performance, innovation and employee engagement.
