Pragmatic Consultancy

The work of changing your organisation — done properly.

A structured platform that takes you through the One Degree process at your own pace. Radical honesty about where you are. Clarity about what needs to change. The tools to make it happen.

£497 per year

The process

Four phases. One clear direction. No shortcuts.

01

Radical Truth

An honest assessment of where your organisation actually is — what you can see, what people are telling you, and what the data says.

02

Find Your One Degree

The precise shift that will create the most significant impact. It's rarely what anyone expected. It's always what was needed.

03

Do The Work

Build the real action plan and put it into motion — deliver it yourself with the toolkit we give you, or bring One Degree in to deliver it for you.

04

Measure the Impact

Go back to where you started. Did the needle move? What does the data say now? If it hasn't — the honest conversation starts again.

How you work with it

Three ways to engage. You choose — and you can change your mind at any point.

01

With AI

Your analysis, your One Degree, and your action plan — generated automatically as you complete each phase. Included as standard, every year, no extra cost.

02

Do it yourself

Prefer to work through it without AI? Everything you need is built in — the same questions, frameworks, and worksheets, entirely at your own pace.

03

With us

Add a human consultant at any point — to review your work, observe your organisation, or deliver the plan for you. Additional fees apply, priced openly.

Pricing

See it for yourself

From evidence to delivery — the actual arc, not a summary of it. Every piece below is what a real cycle produces, start to finish.

1 — The evidence

Thornbury Group
Phase 1 — Radical Truth Report
What you agree on
There is striking alignment between leadership and the team on the core problem — and that alignment is worth naming first, because it is rare. Both describe an organisation driven by "whatever's gone wrong" rather than anything planned.
"Firefighting has quietly become part of our identity — it's almost a badge of honour."
When coping under pressure becomes a source of pride, the organisation develops an emotional incentive to keep the fires burning.
Illustrative page — fictional organisation, written in the voice of a real report.

2 — The shift

Your One Degree
Stop rewarding firefighting. Start rewarding the elimination of fires.
The success condition
The protected planning slot survives its first real crisis — on the record, not just in theory.

3 — The plan, with the reasoning shown

Phase 3 — Action plan
Block the protected planning slot
Put a recurring half-day in every calendar this week
Owner: Team leader · Done when: the slot exists in every calendar before week's end
Why this action
Not the slot itself — whether leadership defends it the first time a real crisis tries to take it. That single decision is the whole test.

4 — Where you'll work
