We call it OneDNA. Different experiences, perspectives and strengths. One team around the client.
Our team in action
Different by design
DNA faculty are authentically consistent, yet diverse.
Our team comes from different cultures, careers and life experiences: leaders, psychologists, coaches, behavioural scientists and former operators. What connects us is curiosity, character, generosity and the confidence to bring our whole selves to the work.
Personal energy
Beyond content and expertise, our people bring themselves.
Energy, warmth, character and presence matter. We want clients to feel the person behind the expertise, someone who can connect, challenge, read the room and bring the work to life.
The DNA Experience
You get the best of the team, not just the person in the room.
Behind every engagement sits the collective experience of DNA. We share what we see, challenge each other and bring in the right expertise when it matters. No silos. No territory. One team.
Genuine Relationships
We stay close and relevant
Many client relationships have lasted years, across roles, organisations and chapters of leadership. We challenge, laugh, disagree and support each other. That trust runs through our own team and into how we work with clients.

The book behind the approach
Leadership. Its in Your DNA (Bloomsbury, UK 2012)
What if the greatest competitive advantage isn't your strategy, products or technology, but your leadership and organisational DNA?
Drawing on nearly two decades of advising CEOs and executive teams around the world, Rhea Leckie reveals the principles behind organisations that consistently outperform, adapt and endure.
More than a leadership book, the chapters ecplore the ten human ingredients for leaders to leverage which becomes the genesis of the 5H framework for CorporateDNA. Blending real-world leadership stories from business, sports, arts, history and psychology the book explores how culture, leadership, decision-making and human behaviour become an organisation's greatest source of resilience and growth.
For leaders who want to build companies that thrive through uncertainty, not just survive it. This is a blueprint for creating a legacy that lasts.
“There is a true leader in all of us and Rhea Duttagupta insightfully reminds us that our own unique qualities combined with crucible earning moments and some humility can unlock the inner compass for a meaningful and rewarding life.”
“Whoever we are each one of us faces a moment which calls on us to lead. This book prepares us for those moments.”
“Origins and roots are important. If you can't remember and respect where you have come from, it's hard to drive where you are going.”
“Attitude, Belief, Creativity and Instincts, being ingredients we are born with, create closer human connections releasing the natural leadership in us all.”
What is changing, and where does leadership need to evolve?
Tell us the leadership challenge you are facing. We will respond with a considered, curated conversation and point of view, not a sales pitch.
