Our Purpose
At VitalOrg we live to help leaders and their teams liberate their full potential; to have fun doing their best, most rewarding work; and to enjoy ever-improving performance.
Our Ethos
Like many consultancies, we believe that culture is the strongest determinant of organisational success. Unlike most consultancies, we are able to identify causes that reside beneath the visible symptoms of culture.
We create a safe space for teams to explore these insights and derive their own actions. We never tell clients what they should do. We aim to transfer capability and enable change with the minimum input from us.
Our People
Our team is passionate about our purpose; it is why we do what we do, and why we love what we do.
Whilst we may have powerful Intellectual Property that is unique to us, the insights that our products present only result in positive change in your organisation by virtue of our team’s skill, energy and experience.
We can’t wait to introduce ourselves…
Denis Bourne
Denis did the original and follow-up research that resulted in The Vitality Index model being built. What are the key symptoms and causes in respect of individual organisations in their individual journeys to higher performance?
On the other hand, Denis gets intense satisfaction by observing people growing, developing and performing better, and believing (hoping?) that he helped a little.
Judith Pierce
As a co-developer of the Vitality Index model, she is passionate about watching organisations benefit from its use, and seeing workplaces become happier and more rewarding for all concerned.
A lover of the great outdoors and all that it offers, Judith enjoys nothing more than walking and talking with friends while sharing the joys of the surrounding views, flora and fauna.
Gill Simpson
With over 20 years' experience working for businesses large and small, and over 10 years working as a coach, internally and externally, Gill brings a wealth of experience to her work, and holds a Post Graduate Certificate in Business & Personal Coaching.
When not coaching Gill is kept busy running a happy household, volunteering at the local school, reading multiple books at the same time, and sometimes even finding the time to exercise.
Michelle Ensuque
Outside her mainstream work and walking with her faithful companion, MIchelle loves researching anything to do with holistic health and its relationship to our mental health and our emotional behaviours.
Tristan Harris
He is based on the Isle of Wight with wife Liz, two boys Theo and Jonty and Boxer, Maisie. As well as participating in a number of local sustainability initiatives, Tristan is the environmental lead at his local sailing club.

Mark Williams
What drives and intrigues him is creating work teams that do brilliant work, have fun, volunteer for responsibility and take care of one and other.
Outside of work Mark loves to be outdoors cycling or hiking, and serves on the board of trustees for Caring in Bristol.
Our Services
The world of work has changed – and is continuing to change at an ever faster rate.
Purposeful, progressive and agile scale-ups are responding really well to this change. Others are not.
If you want to be a stronger member of the revolution, or even take a leading role in it, at VitalOrg we will work with you to achieve your objective.
We offer a range of proven and unique developmental interventions. Each of these interventions is characterised by:
- Collaboration and co-creation
- Experimentation and learning
And all lead to the simultaneous benefits of improved performance and employee experience. Here are some examples:
Networker
Networker provides visual data that depicts the reality of the organisation: its informal networks. This goes way beyond who works with whom. It is able to present the network of relationships around specifics; e.g. value flows, knowledge exchange, as well as specific topics e.g. market trends, new technology. Networker has been the key to unlocking all sorts of hitherto intractable problems in organisations.
Interactive Skills
These skills are ‘foundational' skills – everyone in all walks of life needs them but it is rare for these skills to be taught. In our experience they are vital for high performing teams. Once a team is equipped with them, it is hard to imagine how they managed without them.
Performance Measurement for Improvement (PM4I)
PM4I embeds sound Continual Improvement principles and practices in everyday management systems, processes and behaviours that are concerned with performance.
What results is a regime that has the purpose of learning and improvement, and is forward focused instead of relying on retrospective analysis and judgement.
Enough about us. Who are you?
We help businesses like yours
B Corps & businesses
with purpose
Would you like to enable your people to unleash all of their collective talent, passion, energy, inventiveness and creativity in pursuit of your organisation’s purpose – AND have the best time of their working lives doing it?
With the Vitality Index©, your management practices become as innovative as your approach to social and environmental impact
Progressives and those serious about employee experience
Maybe you are inspired by or at least curious about the 'new radicals' like Netflix and Buurtzorg. You want to leave behind outdated management practices, be more progressive and enable more autonomy.
But where to start, and how? The Vitality Index© is the guide you need to successfully navigate your journey
High growth organisations
As the founder of a growing business, you may feel that the only way to stay on track is with more rules, processes and procedures.
Yet deep down you know that the informal, fun and liberated atmosphere has been the engine-room of your success. And you don’t want to kill that off.
There is a better way; more bureaucracy is not inevitable. Our Vitality Index© will show you the way forward as the organisation grows
