Systemus was set up by me, George Rodwell. There is currently no team behind this. When you engage, you get me in the room for the duration of the work. Which makes the offering nimble and tailored to the situation.
The diagnostic capacity this work depends on does not delegate. It requires direct contact with the situation and the people in it. A small number of clients at any one time is not a constraint. It is the condition that makes the work of the highest possible quality.
I listen for structural features of a situation: where the feedback loops are broken, where the metrics have decoupled from what they were meant to measure, where knowledge exists in the organisation but cannot reach the decisions it should inform. These are not feelings. They are observable features of how a system is organised, and they can be pointed at concretely. But finding them may require more subtle means.
The aim is practical and specific: to identify the assumption holding the situation stuck, so that action becomes possible.
The route into this work is described in how I came to this. One analogy that explains clearly what kind of work it is can be found in the sailing analogy.

The starting point is a conversation about the situation, what has been tried, and whether there is a genuine fit. If there is, we will know quickly.
