About Us
Kynesis was formed by Caroline Donaldson & Paul Foley in 1997. From their experience of working together in a large consultancy organisation, they realised that there was a gap in the market for high quality, bespoke organisational development services which were tailored to the people within their client organisations on an individual and team level.
After a spell of working independently, they got together to form what is now known as Kynesis. There are 5 core staff in the team, 7 in our sister company and a number of associate coaches.
"If we want everything to remain as it is,
it will be necessary for everything to change"

“The Leopard”
Change is inevitable and unstoppable. The business environment is such that like it or not, every organisation regularly has to re-assess its goals, re-invent its operations and re-inspire the workforce. This is where Kynesis comes in.
Our name is a combination of kin – (as in kinetic, meaning to move) and syn – (as in synthesis meaning together), hence moving together - one of the most crucial factors in business development.
We know from experience that change has to be orchestrated. You can’t successfully alter company strategy without cultural transformation. Corporate objectives and personal ambitions have to be in harmony. And progress must be monitored because it’s all too easy for everyone to get caught up in day-to-day issues and lose sight of the overall plan.
"The first thing is to decide what you’re trying to do.
You then decide how you are going to do it...
...from there you decide how many people you need,
what kind of people, and what skills you require.

It’s relatively easy to decide what you want for your company. It isn’t so easy to make it happen. That’s why many have called on Kynesis. We challenge, stimulate, provoke.
