FOR TEAMS GOING THROUGH CHANGE
A shared story, a clear plan, and the first 90 days decided in a room.
Change Compass is a focused session for teams working through a restructure, a new strategy, or shifting priorities. We help you agree the case for change in plain language, surface the risks that nobody is naming, and leave with a 30.60.90 plan your people can actually run with on the Monday morning.

A 30-minute call, no slides, no sales pitch. We'll talk through what is going on for you and whether this session is the right fit.
Does any of this sound familiar?
If you're leading people through change, one or two of these probably resonate.
The story keeps shifting.
Your leadership team has the detail, but by the time it reaches the wider team, it has been paraphrased, watered down, or contradicted. People are filling in the gaps themselves, and most of what they're filling in is anxiety.
The plan exists, sort of.
There is a slide deck. There are workstreams. There are probably owners, in theory. What there isn't is a clear, believable picture of what the next 30, 60, and 90 days actually look like for the people doing the work.
Everyone is polite in the room and worried in the corridor.
The meetings feel constructive. The real conversations happen afterwards, with the people who feel safe. You can sense the hesitation, but you can't always pinpoint where it's coming from.
You can feel the drift.
Weeks have passed since the announcement. Momentum was higher then than it is now. The risks you thought you had dealt with have grown teeth while your back was turned, and you're not sure where to put your attention first.
If a few of those landed, Change Compass was built for this exact moment.
What we'll do together in the session
Change Compass is a single, focused working session, usually half a day or a full day, depending on the complexity of what you're navigating. We run it in person where we can, or virtually if that is more practical.
The session is built around three jobs. First, we shape a shared case for change in language that your people would actually use, rather than what leadership speaks. Second, we map the real terrain, including stakeholders, risks, and dependencies that often get dropped from project plans without anyone noticing. Third, we turn the whole thing into a 30.60.90 plan with named owners, check-in points, and enough detail to make the first 90 days traceable.
We're not there to tell you what your change should look like. We're there to help you and your team articulate it clearly, test it honestly, and agree on what happens next. You'll do a lot of the thinking. We'll hold the process, challenge where it's useful, and keep things moving.
What you'll walk out with
Three practical outputs your team can start using the next working day.
A one-page change narrative
Written in plain English, tested by your own team, and short enough that people will actually repeat it. This becomes the story your line managers, your board, and your customers hear. No two versions floating around.
A risk and dependency map with named owners
We bring the usual blockers to the surface, including the ones people don't want to name out loud, and tie each one to an owner and a first action. You leave knowing where the real risks sit, not just the polite ones.
A 30.60.90 action plan
Three time horizons, clear milestones, named owners, and a simple cadence of check-ins so the plan doesn't slide into a shared drive and get forgotten. This is the thing most change plans are missing, and it's usually the reason momentum dies in week three.
We type these up and send them through within a few working days of the session, in whatever format works best for you.
What the session actually covers
The agenda flexes around what you're dealing with, but most sessions follow a version of the below.
We start by getting a shared picture on the table. What is changing, why, who says so, and what the team genuinely thinks about it. This is often the part people underestimate. If leadership and the team are working from different versions of the story, everything downstream gets harder.
Where we are, honestly.
We map stakeholders, dependencies, and risks, and we pay particular attention to the ones that tend to stay under the surface. The classic ones are trust, capacity, capability, and the uncomfortable question of what stops if this starts. Funnily enough, the risks people whisper about in the corridor tend to be more predictive than the ones on the RAID log.
Where the risks actually lives.
We built the 30.60.90 plan live, in the room, with owners attached. We pressure-test it against the risks we just surfaced, and we agree on a check-in rhythm so the plan keeps its teeth after everyone leaves.
What we’re doing about it, in the first 90 days
We bring the tools and the structure. You bring the knowledge of your organisation. Between us, we turn a tangled situation into something everyone in the room understands and agrees to.
Who Change Compass is for
This session is for leadership teams, senior management groups, or project teams who are in the middle of something that matters and want to move through it well. It works best when the people who need to make the change happen are in the room together.
Who it's for
• Teams navigating a restructure, merger, or change in operating model
• Leadership teams are setting a new strategy that the wider organisation has to deliver
• Functions absorbing new priorities, new scope, or new reporting lines
• Programme or project teams where the plan exists, but alignment and momentum are slipping
• Any team where the story is unclear, the risks are underground, and the first 90 days matter
Probably not the right fit if…
— You're looking for a keynote or a motivational talk. This is a working session, not a performance.
— The decision to change hasn't been made yet. We can help with that, but it's a different conversation.
— You need a fully designed multi-month transformation programme delivered to you. Change Compass is the starting point. We often follow it with longer engagements,
but we'll only suggest those if they genuinely fit.
Formats and investment
We keep the pricing transparent because most people we work with need to justify the spend to a board, a co-director, or an internal sponsor. The table below shows what a typical Change Compass engagement looks like. If your situation doesn't fit neatly into one of these, we'll tell you honestly and either adapt the format or point you somewhere else.

Who we work with
Future Proof Learning has supported leaders and teams across the public sector, the third sector, and private sector SMEs. Most of the teams we work with are navigating something meaningful, whether that's restructure, new strategy, merger, or significant shifts in priorities. We don't specialise in one industry because the patterns of change are mostly human, and the humans look remarkably similar in every sector we've worked with.
We've worked with national public sector bodies on personal effectiveness and multi-tiered leadership development, often in periods of significant organisational change.
PUBLIC SECTOR
We've partnered with values-driven charities and social enterprises navigating strategy shifts and leadership transitions, with a particular focus on sustaining teams under pressure.
THIRD SECTOR
We've supported SMEs and scaling businesses through restructures, mergers, and new operating models, helping leadership teams get aligned and moving again.
PRIVATE SECTOR

Questions we get asked most
-
The half-day format works well for up to 12 people, and the full-day format takes up to 15. We can design for larger groups if needed, but above 15 the conversation starts to split, and the outputs are harder to hold in one room. If you've got a group of 30 or 40, we'd usually suggest breaking it into two connected sessions rather than stretching one beyond what works.
-
Both work. In person tends to produce sharper outputs because the informal conversations at break times are often where the most useful stuff surfaces. That said, virtual sessions work well for teams that are genuinely distributed, and we design differently for the format rather than running an in-person session through a webcam.
-
You get written outputs within a few working days. A lot of teams find that the 30.60.90 plan is enough to carry them through. Some choose to build in follow-up check-ins at the 30 or 60 day mark, either for accountability or to adjust the plan as new information lands. We'll talk this through on the discovery call and only suggest follow-on work if we genuinely think it will help.
-
Ideally three to four weeks, because we tend to run a short pre-session conversation with the sponsor to calibrate the design. At a push we can turn things around in two weeks. If your timeline is tighter than that, get in touch anyway and we'll tell you honestly what's possible.
-
Yes. We've run Change Compass as a connected series across multiple teams or sites, either to align them around one organisational narrative or to let each team tailor the story to their own context. The bespoke multi-team format is designed for exactly this, and we'd usually scope it with you in a discovery conversation rather than quoting off the shelf.
We don't do hard sells. A discovery call is 30 minutes, no slides, no pressure. We'll talk through what's going on for your team, what you're hoping to move, and whether Change Compass is genuinely the right tool for the job. If it isn't, we'll tell you, and we'll usually suggest something else that fits better. That's probably a healthier way to start a relationship than a pitch deck.
Not sure if it's the right fit? Let's have a conversation.
