Many organisations can describe their purpose. Far fewer are driven by one.

We help leadership teams embed purpose – properly aligning governance, strategy and culture to drive growth and sustainable progress.

The problem we solve

Purpose has become common language.Purpose-driven performance has not.Many organisations have purpose statements that sit alongside strategy, not inside it. The result is drift, inconsistency, short-term decision-making and reputational risk.What’s missing is not intent or ambition.What’s missing is alignment.

Who we work with

We work with organisations where purpose is decision-critical, not decorative.
  • Boards & Chairs
  • CEOs & Executive Teams
  • Government & Public Sector Leaders
  • Purpose-led organisations at scale

What we help organisations do

We help organisations:
  • Identify and define their purpose
  • Embed purpose into governance and strategy
  • Align leadership, culture and performance
  • Measure purpose-driven outcomes

How we work

We work with a small number of organisations each year, through:
  • Board and executive workshops
  • Strategic definition and alignment programmes
  • Ongoing advisory support
 Our work is tailored, rigorous and collaborative. This is not consultancy for hire. 
It is partnership with intent.

Single Organising Idea (SOI®)

Single Organising Idea (SOI®) is a internationally proven framework pioneered by Neil Gaught to make purpose operational.It aligns the entire organisation around one actionable idea — so strategy, culture, decision-making and performance all pull in the same direction.

SOI® enables organisations to:
  • Identify and define their purpose
  • Translate purpose into strategic choices
  • Govern with clarity and intent
  • Align culture with long-term value
  • Measure what truly matters
SOI® moves purpose from aspiration to holistic operating system.

ISO 37011: Purpose, governance and the future

Purpose is the most powerful driver of long-term success, but unlocking its full potential requires more than good intentions. 
ISO 37011 means that boards are now expected to show not just what they stand for but how purpose informs decisions, risk and performance.

NG&A works at this intersection, helping organisations prepare for a future where:
  • Purpose and governance are inseparable
  • Strategy is judged on long-term outcomes
  • Credibility is earned through alignment.

For over 20 years Neil Gaught & Associates has helped businesses worldwide harness the power of purpose to drive growth and sustainable progress.If purpose needs to drive real decisions in your organisation — not just messaging — we should talk.
