We start with people

Because strategy, risk and AI adoption succeed or fail through people.

For many organisations the strategy is sound. The operating model is in place. The processes exist. But the desired outcome is out of reach. That’s because every strategy, every risk framework and every AI investment is ultimately delivered by people.

Our work helps leaders understand what is shaping behaviour across the organisation, then aligns decisions and actions with the Strategic Focus to turn ambition into results.

One Framework. Three engines.

Contexis is your organisational intelligence partner for Performance, Risk, and AI.

These three Contexis engines solve different business problems, but share the same underlying model: the people, behaviours and conditions that shape outcomes.

Our capabilities

Performance

For leaders asking whether strategy is translating into action. The PCI (Performance Culture Index) reveals the factors driving performance, highlights where momentum is being lost, and identifies the interventions most likely to improve results.

Risk
& Control

For organisations looking to strengthen risk decisions and more effective risk management. The Risk Culture Index (RCI) identifies the factors shaping risk culture, accountability and governance, helping leaders understand where risk is being managed well and where intervention is needed.

AI
Maturity Index

For leaders investing in AI but not yet seeing value at scale. The AI Maturity Index (AIMI) reveals where the organisation sits on the AI maturity journey, what is enabling or blocking adoption, and how to build a human-AI operating model that delivers value.

Flexible and scalable

The scope adapts to the challenge. Every Contexis engagement draws on the same underlying approach, creating consistency in how we think, measure and deliver change. Some organisations engage us for a single workshop or assessment. Others work with us across Performance, Risk and Control and AI Maturity. The application is tailored to your context.

Extract more value from existing data.

Employee surveys, HR data and operational metrics provide valuable information. But the score is only the start. We help organisations get more actionable answers from the data they already have.

Global banking

Rebuilding trust to grow revenue

Our diagnostic found trust 37% below benchmark, concentrated in middle management. We targeted the rebuild there. The division moved from second-weakest commercial performer to second-strongest.

'In thirty years at the bank I can't remember a project with anything like this impact. The commercial return has been extraordinary, and the joyfulness of our people, transformed.' — Managing Director

Industries

Built for your business, not your sector

With analysis from 150 organisations in 60 countries, we’ve never run the same engagement twice.

Financial services and regulated institutions

Banks, insurers, and professional bodies, where risk culture and accountability are now board-level questions.

Professional services

Partnerships and firms whose performance depends entirely on how their most senior people work together.

Consumer, industrial, and public-facing organisations

FMCG, telecommunications, utilities, distribution, and publishing, where strategy has to land across complex, dispersed operations.
