Who are Positive Momentum?
Our Story
We built Positive Momentum to be different; optimistic and realistic, practical and bold. Hear how our partner community works, why clients keep coming back, and what it takes to thrive here.
The DNA of Positive Momentum
Our values define how we show up every day – for our clients, for each other and for ourselves. They shape the culture of Positive Momentum and the kind of partners who thrive here: authentic, energetic and focused on outcomes, not theatre.
Energy
We bring the spark – we protect it, share it and help clients rediscover theirs. Energy isn’t just enthusiasm, its commitment, resilience and positive drive.
Engagement
We’re deeply curious about people and organisations. We ask great questions, build meaningful relationships and focus on what really matters – no what’s fashionable.
Edge
We’re critical friends – honest, direct and constructive. We don’t do theatre or jargon. We get to the heart of the issue and drive real, measureable change.
Why we exist and what drives us
Every decision, every conversation, every piece of work at Positive Momentum comes back to this – a shared vision of a better way to consult, a clear mission to make real change happen, and a purpose that guides how we show up for our clients and each other.
Our Vision
A new standard of management consulting: practical, purpose-driven and led by seasoned experts who prioritise outcomes over theatre. We aim to set the benchmark for what effectives, values-led consulting looks like.
Our Mission
To use the real-world experience to deliver real change, real fast. We help clients shift thinking, behaviours and performance in ways that stick – always anchored in their reality.
Our Purpose
We exist to help organisations – and the people within them – change so that they can grow. Growth that’s sustainable, inclusive and energising for everyone involved.
The PM Constitution
Our constitution is the practical expression of our values – it defines how we work together as grown-up professionals: high standards, low surveillance; direct and constructive; outcomes over theatre. It’s the heartbeat of Positive Momentum’s culture and collaboration.
