About Momentum Maker
Strengthening Charities By Making Momentum
Many organisations struggle not because they lack talent or ambition, but because complexity slows decision-making and drains momentum.
Our value is in restoring movement.
Using the Momentum Framework, we help organisations see the shape of the problem (or challenge or opportunity), identify where energy might go next, and translate strategy into action that people can believe in and deliver successfully.
We think differently, work dynamically and stay grounded in outcomes. This allows progress to happen in the real world – not just on paper.
We thrive in complex, challenging environments and combine commercial sharpness with deep charity insight. We bring direction to ambiguity, are creative problem-solvers and actually work better under pressure. We bring energy and a super-collaborative approach.
Importantly, we help people build the skills – including how to use risk mitigation positively –to move into brave decision-making and courageous conversations with confidence.
The Momentum Framework – Six Stages of Momentum and Focus, Capacity, Drive – can be informal, intuitive, or more formal, depending on the task.
Momentum doesn’t just happen. It’s designed.
There’s A Reason I Love Momentum
I have always loved words. If I had a superpower it would be to speak, read and write in every language. My favourite words are harmony, magnanimous and momentum. It’s no coincidence that they all relate to people and behaviour. This is also a passion of mine. Nothing makes me happier than galvanising people to do something amazingly impactful for humankind, particularly if it is challenging and hasn’t been done before. I don’t know why this is what I am good at! But it is. I make momentum.
