Our Simple and Tested Approach

Equipped to deal with the worst whilst driving to achieve the best. What if we could help every business achieve excellence?

What is the Pragma Holis Framework?

Most organisations are born in fair weather and sail beautifully until a storm hits. What if we built businesses with bad weather in mind? 

The Pragma Holis Framework is a result of many years working with entrepreneurs, innovators, spin outs, scale ups and established companies. 

The many entry points into commercial organisations are as diverse as the people working there. This means there is a wide variety of provisions for new entrants as well as a lack of a consistent approach for individuals moving into new roles or taking on additional responsibilities or projects.

The commonalities of running a business are often then overlooked, or at best provided with the terminal phrase of “this is how it’s always been done”.

By evaluating six essential pillars, we thoroughly assess your entire organisation to highlight successes, identify growth opportunities, and drive continuous improvement.

Why Pragma Holis

Pragma Holis was born of a frustration of individuals and organisations being unable to achieve their most excellent potential simply because the full business landscape hadn’t ever been mapped out for them.

In the rare instances where the many consultants, advisors and growth coaches have tried to address this landscape it is often obfuscated through impenetrable language and terminology. 

So we create a systemic approach that helps anyone in any organisation who is feeling stretched in a Pragmatic and Holistic way.

We address areas to focus on, that continue to evolve as you do. Highlighting successes, identifying opportunities and driving continuous improvement.
