- Submit your challenge
Share a concise description of the issue you’d like explored (e.g. burnout in hybrid teams, onboarding effectiveness, leadership behaviours, psychological safety).
- Scoping conversation
We discuss scope, access, timelines and confidentiality. We’ll agree what “success” looks like for you.
- Student matching
We pair your brief with one or two students whose interests and skills align. They work under our supervision and within our ethical guidelines.
- Research and engagement
Students may conduct interviews, surveys, focus groups or document reviews — always with your approval. Expect periodic check-ins.
- Findings and recommendations
You’ll receive a presentation and an executive-style summary with clear, actionable recommendations.
- Optional follow-up
Some partners choose to continue the conversation, pilot interventions or commission further work. We’re happy to advise on next steps.
- Kick-off call: 45–60 minutes to refine the brief
- Access and coordination: Help students reach relevant employees or data (as agreed)
- Check-ins: Light-touch updates (typically monthly)
- Final presentation: 45–60 minutes for findings and Q&A
We respect your time. The process is designed to be lean while still rigorous enough to deliver value.
Projects run under King’s College London ethical approval processes. We can:

Your organisation’s trust is essential. We only use data for the agreed project purposes.

- Inclusion, belonging and civility at work
If you’re unsure whether your challenge fits, just ask — we’ll help shape it.
