Grain of Sand is an organisational development practice. We believe organisations are complex. There are few silver bullets. We know that every organisation’s productivity is impacted by the dynamic system of leadership effectiveness, organisational culture and employee motivation. We make that system work better. To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wildflower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand, And eternity in an hour William Blake, Auguries of Innocence When an irritant, sometimes a grain of sand, becomes lodged in a mussel or oyster, nacre is secreted around the foreign object and a gem of remarkable beauty, a pearl, can be formed. The Grain of Sand name is inspired by these two ideas: William Blake’s insight that in the smallest and most everyday occurrence, we can see universal truths – we can gain knowledge of the whole by examining the parts; and that from the provocative and controversial, from challenging the status quo, remarkable, even magical, outcomes can be created.
