We help our clients achieve breakthrough improvement by overcoming their performance constraints.
Whether it’s cultural, strategic, human or operational constraints, we’re great at creating conditions for people to agree what needs changing, what it needs changing to, and how they can make the change happen without causing new problems.
We work through consultancy, workshops, training and mentoring, 121 or team coaching, and gamification. We’re all about change leadership, so we build our offer around what you need so we can help you get to where you need to be, at pace, with no unmanageable negative consequences.
​
We’re experts in systems thinking and adaptive problem solving in dynamic and complex operating environments. We’re expert in transformational change, resistance, buy-in and building your change leadership capability. We’re currently active in organisations which are in or are commissioned by health, care, public health, rail and technology. Think local government and the public sector, private organisations, membership organisations, national charities and even housing associations. Everything we do is evidence based and we evaluate everything.
We’re so passionate about our approach to change leadership that we undertake and publish research on it, exposing what we do to professional and practitioner scrutiny.

Concinnity is led by founder and Managing Director Candy Perry. In 2014 Candy was awarded an MSc with Distinction for her pioneering work applying whole systems thinking in a complex, volatile operating environment and achieving transformational change.
​
Candy has a reputation for razor sharp analysis of ‘what’s going on when what’s going on is going on’; and for creating conditions for people to identify the kinds of limiting beliefs, erroneous assumptions and sacred cows which limit organisational and individual performance.
She specialises in unpicking the devastating effects of unresolved, strategic conflict and short term, toxic pragmatism, finding both so often the cause of avoidably poor performance.
Candy has a successful track record as CEO, Senior Executive and Non-Executive. She is currently the Senior Independent Director and Vice Chair of the world’s largest professional membership organisation for Health and Safety Professionals, IOSH, where she is also the Chair of the Risk Management and Audit Committee. Prior to this she has sat on a number of national and local Government Boards.
