Recently provided Roma Cities Rugby League Club with advisory services, such a solid club with a hardworking committee doing good things in their community.

One thing I have found with those small businesses, organisations, NFPs outside the metro - they are always the most down to earth, practical and always so grateful for services.

Businesses change their team structure more often than most people realise. Growth demands it. New services demand it. A founder stepping back from delivery demands it. Sometimes the business just outgrew the chart that was drawn two years ago and nobody updated it until something stopped working.
The Org Chart + Change is a different animal.
→ Reporting lines that shifted before role clarity caught up
→ Accountability that moved but wasn’t communicated
→ Managers leading people they didn’t hire into a structure they didn’t design
→ Decision-making authority that exists on the chart but not in practice
→ People whose title changed but whose standing in the business feels uncertain
The technology to map a new structure exists. Drawing the boxes is the easy part.
What doesn’t come out of a box is the human part. And the human part can’t be separated from the business part.
The leader who had to deliver a structure they inherited, not one they built.
The manager holding both “this is the right move for the business” and “my team doesn’t trust this yet” at the same time.
The HR partner having twenty honest conversations in a week and still showing up for the twenty-first.
The employee finding their feet in a role that didn’t exist three months ago.
The business that knew standing still was more dangerous than getting it imperfect.
This is the part where most businesses stop trying to get it right and just try to get it done. Don’t. It’s worth doing well.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I didn’t start Cofound because the world needed another HR consultant or half-baked ‘business coach/guru’

I started it because I kept seeing the same pattern.

Businesses growing fast.
Winning work.
Hiring quickly.

But underneath it… something was shifting.

Not obvious at first.
But you could feel it.

Decision-making slowing down.
Leaders carrying too much.
Teams pulling in slightly different directions.
Change efforts starting… but not landing.

⸻

What gets you to one stage of growth rarely sustains the next.

Structures lag.
Role clarity blurs.
Informal ways of working stop holding.
And the system starts to strain under its own success.

⸻

Most people treat that as a performance problem.

It’s not.

It’s a system alignment problem.

⸻

Cofound exists to step into that moment.

To reconnect:
• Strategy (where you’re actually going)
• People (how leadership and teams operate)
• Change (how a human transitions from their current state to there future state - old tech to new tech, old location to new location etc)

Not as separate pieces —
but as one integrated system.

⸻

Because growth doesn’t just add more.

It changes the conditions entirely.

And if you don’t adapt to that…
things don’t break loudly.

They just stop working the way they used to.

⸻

That’s the work.

Professor Karl Weick (and American organisational & behavioural psychologist) put it well:
That’s the work.
“Organisations are not just adapting to an environment — they are partly creating the environment to which they then adapt.”

Because when a growing business starts to strain —
it’s usually still enacting an older version of itself.
Cofound exists to close that gap.

Many Founders, Business Owners and Leaders report unusual conditions once GROWTH knocks on the door. We aren’t talking about a crisis. Not a failure. But something shifts — and most founders feel it before they can name it.

The business is still moving. Still winning work. Still growing.

But underneath it, things are getting harder than they should be.

Some of what we see most often:

Growth Friction — The pace has increased but the structure hasn’t kept up. More people, more pressure, more moving parts. What worked at ten people starts breaking at thirty.

Leadership Bottleneck — Everything still runs through the founder. Not because they want it to. Because the organisation hasn’t developed the leadership capacity to carry it any other way.

Ex*****on Unpredictability — Decisions get made in the room. But somewhere between the room and reality, things don’t translate. The strategy says one thing. The business does another.

These aren’t communication ‘issues’ as some advisors or coaches might suggest. They are important signals that must be addressed with effective and potent solutions. We take an organisational development informed approach for our clients, we look under the hood of the car of your business to see what is really going on. We work with you to ‘Co-Find’ the solutions that will actually hit.

Be Fnd is now Cofound.

Not a rebrand for the sake of it.
A clearer name for the work we actually do.

Cofound exists for business owners who have reached a point where growth starts to feel heavier than it should. Decisions get bigger. People, structure, and direction all start pulling at once.

Cofound helps you step back, make sense of what’s really going on, and move forward with clarity across strategy, people, and change.

The website is now live.
If you’re at that stage, it’ll make sense quickly.

Always a good time with GAP. This workshop we have run about 8 times this year. The demand comes from the ongoing need to brush up on the people skills, all of us should do it. There’s never a bad time to refresh the ‘performance management 101’ topic. Always new approaches to consider and different experiences to learn from.

Due to our unwavering commitment to quality and our dedication to nurturing a Progressive and Purpose-Driven team, we recently conducted an enriching leadership training session. The session was led by Tom Teelow from Be FND and aimed to equip GAP's foremen, supervisors, and managers with the knowledge and skills necessary for effective leadership in alignment with our company's core values.

We appreciate the valuable training provided by Tom and eagerly look forward to more training days in the future!
