Organizations have been coming to The Dunvegan Group for help in achieving their business outcomes for more than 25 years. We work with business leaders like you to leverage the voices of your stakeholders, your customers, employees, vendors and shareholders, to build relationships that create better business results.
We will help you to understand what is important to your audiences, where you can leverage your strengths and your opportunities for improvement, and together we will develop priority actions to move your business forward.
Usually this will mean change in how you conduct your business and change is a scary word for many people. Over the years, we have learned what doesn’t work when it comes to leading and embedding changes in organizations. Research and practical experience have shown that engaging your audiences in defining the required changes, having them “own” the change initiative and providing consistent, gentle reminders leads to successful adoption of new ways of thinking and behaving.
And of course, measurement is critical. We will establish appropriate benchmarks and measure change over time using proven Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) yours and ours.
We are with you through all stages of the program. For instance, we set you and your team up for success by assessing readiness, supporting internal culture shift, measuring performance and identification of priority actions. We deliver training, coaching and mentoring to help your team adapt.

LevellingUp is a people-helping-people business with a mission to change the world.
We connect the next generation of leaders with the battle-tested Sages (mentors, coaches, teachers, advisors) that help them develop their leadership soft skills. We do this using an accessible and affordable platform – ensuring our future leaders are equipped with the skills they need to succeed.
Each Sage meets regularly via videoconference with one or more groups of 5-8 Seekers from anywhere across the globe – providing them with ongoing feedback as they put leadership knowledge into practice. The group’s subject matter is decided by the Sage and drawn from her experience, and the Sage decides what rate to charge for their time.
