Supporting leaders to bring purpose & practice into alignment:
Unlocking coherence, impact and trust.
Targeted, high-impact support
Sometimes what’s needed is to unblock the moment. Whether chairing a high-stakes meeting, facilitating an away day, or supporting a difficult conversation — we bring presence, clarity, and calm. Examples include:
Board workshop on power & governance
“Power & Integrity came prepared, grounded, and deeply respectful. That trust helped us do the hard work.”
Senior leader, UK INGO
Chairing a critical board meeting
“Power & Integrity chaired a key board session for us — helping us see the bigger picture, and reset our priorities with clarity.”
Anna Ganley, CEO, Society of Authors
Board and Staff Strategy away day
“We thought we needed a strategy refresh. What we really needed was alignment — and Power & Integrity helped us find it.”
Ali Russell, CEO, National Benevolent Charity
Change partnerships
We support you to step back and see the bigger picture: how your culture, strategy, and structures align — or conflict — with your purpose. We walk with you through change, building coherence from the inside out.
This work can take many forms and shaped to your context. Examples of our support include:
Integrity Frameworks
Bespoke practical tools that help your organisation stay aligned in real time — shaping decisions, behaviours, and culture.
“The Integrity Framework was the most pivotal tool — it subtly shaped decisions from the moment it was introduced.”
Marcia Asare
CEO, Walcot Foundation
Board & Leadership Alignment
Structured support to build shared understanding and deeper trust between board and executive — unlocking more confident leadership.
“The board grasped the power lens quickly — it gave us a new language for governance and decision-making.”
Raji Hunjan
CEO, The Tudor Trust
Impact, innovation & risk
Exploring risk in full — holding risk of harm to people and partners alongside more traditional risks – enabling more balanced and confident decisions.
“The wider view of risk helped us reprioritise and identify where innovation was needed.”
Ali Russell
CEO, National Benevolent Charity
Impact & Culture
Engage with less visible but powerful dynamics that shape outcomes – inequalities, blind spots, and unspoken norms. Culture isn’t a soft topic — it’s how organisational purpose lives or dies.
“They helped us see that culture is foundational to organisational impact.”
Helen Moulinos
Power Lab participant as CEO of POhWER
How we work
“They share thinking without gatekeeping. That kind of generosity is rare.”
Marcia Asare, CEO, Walcot Foundation
We work best with organisations ready to look beneath the surface
Our clients are leaders who are committed to purpose, but open to exploring what might be holding them back. You might be:
- A CEO holding complexity — cultural tensions, strategic noise, internal misalignment
- A board member asking deeper questions about values, decisions, or accountability
- A funder seeking to govern or grant with more integrity and systemic awareness
- A leadership team facing change, but unsure how to move forward together
Many of our clients are simply trying to ask better questions, realign before things unravel, or lead in a way that feels more honest and sustainable.
Power-sensitive
Adapting well-established work by nonprofits on power and inequality, we are exploring how societal power structures underpin negative organisational culture and behaviours such as saviourism, sexism, racism, bullying, and corruption.
Power analysis identifies the for multiple aspects of integrity, essentially providing the lens for the whole-system approach to organisational integrity.
A power-sensitive approach also provides valuable insights into how best to address negative power manifestations and – importantly – how to nurture positive power.
Together we can:
- Measure organisational impact by both its aims and means.
- Break down silos for an organisation-wide approach to reduce risk of harm.
- Embed equity, diversity and inclusion as integral to understanding impact and risk of harm.
- Improve internal impact and work culture.
- Strengthen representation for communities served in decision-making.
- Prepare board and senior teams for emerging integrity issues and bolster their confidence to support innovative approaches.
- Build a movement for integrity across the sector to bring real change for a more just world.
Whole-system
We are exploring how organisations can embody integrity. We mean this in both senses of the word: honest, responsible, accountable, and principled; and whole and unbroken.
Organisational integrity requires a holistic and strategic mindset, combined with integrity practice at individual, organisational and sector levels.
Using a whole-system approach, we will support organisations to integrate integrity practice that strengthens oversight, strategy, risk management and operations. This will help them be more proactive, more efficient, and much less likely to cause harm.
Synergy-led
Integrating power-sensitive integrity practice requires continuous learning and diverse perspectives to shape a shared understanding. So we will help build an enabling environment with the nonprofit sector to work collectively on power and integrity.
We will also work to increase coherence between donor requirements around integrity and contribute to wider sector-level work on legitimacy, decolonisation and power.
By learning collectively and reducing duplication, the sector can establish a strong foundation from which organisations can strengthen their integrity practice and, ultimately, their impact.
