About Stepping Stones

Stepping Stones Consultancy shifts organisations to their highest potential and richest customer value.

Do you prefer a diamond or a big hunk of granite? We are condensed capability: world-class performance in compact scale. Our highly experienced international associates can affect alchemy in any size organisation.

The firm was formed by Angus Jenkinson. Since 1991 we have worked with many great companies, big and sometimes small: IBM, NSPCC, UNICEF, Nestlé, Hewlett-Packard, Acxiom, HP, Dell, Toyota, Vodafone, Ogilvy, KB49, British School of Motoring, Olympus, Pitney Bowes, WWF, DunnHumby, National Trust, IDM, Cathay Pacific, MYOB, Ten UK, Travel Blue, Global Graphics, Co-operative Bank, Novartis…

We believe in value, peak performance, uniqueness, whole systems, a fair partnership; and the power of strong insights and processes.

Our services work through:

• Developing a strong integrated brand system and strategy. Our core tool is Stellar© and its many customisable applications and processes.

• Designing unique, insight-led, and integrated customer experiences and communications. CODAR© is a key tool that we use here.

• Catalytic but gentle and humanly valued transformation through minimalist interventions.

• Improving decision chains and value stream: facilitating workflow, team operations and decision-making through process improvement, facilitation, teambuilding and education.

 Partners

We have a strong team of associates and partners in the UK, USA, Nordics, Netherlands, Germany and Israel. They provide us with deep competency in the primary fields of organization development, including intervention strategies, design and facilitation, business and marketing strategy, HR, branding, lean improvement, performance management, research, leadership coaching and team development.

Notable associations include members of the ASD, the Association for Social Development, the members of the Stellar network of accredited practitioners, Generator Consulting in Denmark, keijo xxx in Finland, KB49 in the UK, Growing Edge Partners, LLC, in the USA, and Dr James Wilk, founder and principal exponent of minimalist intervention methodology.

We are strengthened by our ties with the Centre for Integrated Marketing, formerly at the University of Bedfordshire. Angus Jenkinson, founder of Stepping Stones, is arguably the world’s leading authority on Integrated Marketing, as well Director of the Centre and co-founder of Stellar. This has led to even better insights, tools and methods that can really add value for clients.
