Organisations choose Orthelian because we bring the full spectrum of organisational development together in a way that is practical, immersive, and human centred. We do more than advise or train. We design solutions that integrate leadership, team development, cultural transformation, and systems change so that impact is immediate and sustainable.
Our methods combine evidence informed learning, experiential practice, and real-world insight, creating interventions tailored to each organisation’s context, culture, and objectives. Whether developing leaders, enhancing team collaboration, embedding new systems, or aligning cultures after a merger, we focus on connection, collaboration, and natural leadership to ensure people are empowered and change embeds organically.
With Orthelian, organisations gain more than guidance. They gain partners who understand the realities of the operating environment and who help teams achieve practical results while maintaining engagement, wellbeing, and resilience.
Organisational development is at the heart of everything we do. We help individuals, teams, and organisations unlock their potential, harnessing the strengths of people, processes, and systems to achieve sustainable results. We understand the pressures of delivering more with less, driving performance, and creating meaningful outcomes without overloading people or risking burnout. Our pragmatic, outcomes-focused approach ensures change is practical, measurable, and enduring, creating environments where people, teams, and the organisation can thrive together.
Founded in 2016 by Claire Payne, Orthelian was born from a desire to do things differently. Having worked across multiple industries and supported thousands of professionals, Claire saw organisations investing heavily in generic training and conventional consultancy approaches that often-left people frustrated, disempowered, and without meaningful results. She recognised that lasting impact comes from combining evidence-informed practice, immersive learning, and a deep understanding of human behaviour and organisational dynamics.
At Orthelian, we partner with organisations to unlock unique strengths and capabilities. Our philosophy spans leadership development, team performance, cultural transformation, and systems integration, ensuring everyone can contribute fully while organisational structures, processes, and ways of working evolve in alignment. Supported by a network of experienced consultants, facilitators, mentors, coaches, and trainers whose work is underpinned by the Orthelian approach, we embed meaningful change, strengthen capability, and deliver sustainable, measurable results while maintaining resilience and wellbeing.
