Adaptive Intelligence is Sway’s method for effective change, embedded into our tools, coaching and advice.

Products & services

We work with businesses at every stage of change. Unlike most consultancies, we combine a proprietary intelligence platform with hands-on advisory, so insight connects directly to action.

Leadership advisory

The Grounded Edge™

Commercial & pragmatic advisory from former C-suite partners to support leaders through the reality of change.

When it comes to change, getting from A to B is rarely straightforward. Grounded Edge builds the leadership muscle to drive change through directional clarity, alignment on priorities and the capacity to sustain performance under pressure.

Delivered through resilience coaching, advisory sprints and leadership narrative work, everything is tailored to your context. We don't use playbooks, and we stay to see change through.

Change foresight

Sway R3 Index

Maps present and future change capacity of an organisation, not lagging employee sentiment data based on past feelings.

Built for large-scale change and post-deal integration, Sway’s R3 Index maps 40 psychological factors, distilled from decades of proven research. It tells you what will hold, break, and what needs protecting in your business before a single initiative launches. Delivered in 8 weeks, with clear, actionable insights, we design the response with you, and stay through to delivery.

Workforce intelligence

Sway Voicebox™

Captures employee insights, not 1–5 scores, so leaders can course-correct before execution slows.

Voicebox is an AI-backed workforce intelligence tool that tells you what is happening across your business in real time during change. It gives leadership the signals to unblock integration, course-correct and iterate as change unfolds. Built around your specific context, not a generic survey. So problems get spotted early, before they put value at risk.
