Who We Are
United Minds is a global change consultancy that helps Fortune 500 clients transform their organizations, with a particular focus on the people side of change.
What Makes Us Different
At United Minds, our purpose is to make business more human - because we believe our collective futures depend on a human-powered world.
We do this by helping leaders decide, design, develop and drive the future of their organization in partnership with people, and for people, using business intelligence to inform human-centered change experiences.
Partnering with some of the world's biggest organizations, we deliver impactful, enduring change.
Our core services include organizational transformation (M&A, spinoffs, restructures, marketing and digital transformation), leadership alignment, talent strategy development, culture change and employee experience.
Our values - Big Thinking; Little Details; Giant Heart - inform our work... and the way we work with our client partners.
We thrive on bringing original ideas to the table but know this only comes alive in the details.
And most importantly, we do this with our whole heart - giving ourselves permission to care for each other, for the work, for our clients and ourselves.
What's more, as part of The Weber Shandwick Collective, we're able to tap into award-winning creative capabilities, the latest in AI thinking, and research, data and analytics to supercharge our solutions for clients.
