The impact on our business from working with the ‘Will It?’ team has been transformational. As a leadership team, we have arrived at a series of goals that we are all fully committed to, and which now serve as the North Star of our business. Achieving that is easier said than done. The ‘Will It?’ team bring depth and substance but are able to deliver in an easy-going and informal manner. They have become trusted partners and a source of invaluable support.

Darren James

It’s really transformed how the business communicates. It’s surpassed all of my expectations.
Hendrik Isebaert

We had no goal and no single unifying thought. I wanted the opportunity to galvanise everyone. The Crazy Goal is everything we stand for as a brand. We use it in our recruitment, including our assessment centres, we use it throughout our training and how we recognise and reward people, and we rolled it out as comprehensively as we could. We were on a journey and the Crazy Goal replays over the longer term.
Kate Markham

It was the best money I spent last year, the best decision I made.
Oliver Cock, Global Commercial Director, Oritain

In less than 12 hours from arriving on site we had a unifying purpose and Crazy goal that the wider leadership team had bought into and was committed to achieving. Three months later there is a material change in the way we work together, the questions we ask one another and the standards to which we hold each other. The question “Will it make the boat go faster” rings out around all of the sites.
Richard Hanrahan

The work myself and the senior team have recently completed with WIMTBGF? has been transformational in the effect it has had on our teamwork, focus and performance. I had my doubts as to what impact we would achieve working virtually but our two days together – an engaging and productive online Leadership Team Workout- surpassed all my expectations. This is yet another example of how Will It? are making a difference to our business.
