Our Protocol

UNREST is a change enablement advisory firm. We apply behavioral science to help organizations deliver transformations and get better at handling change over time. We look at what people and teams do in their day-to-day work and what gives them room to act, from who owns a decision to the rules, resources and management practices that shape the job.

We help you prepare a strategic project, get teams using AI, make a reorganization work or change your company culture. We also work with organizations juggling several transformations, with teams struggling to work together, or with people who are tired of one change after another. We start with the problem you’re facing and work out what to examine and where to act.

Behavioral science helps us understand what shapes decisions and habits at work. Someone may want to do things differently and still lack the skills, time or authority to act. We use research-based models and tools to find which factors matter in your situation, decide what to change and measure what people actually do afterward.

Change management typically helps people through a specific transformation with communication, training and adoption support. Change enablement builds the skills and working conditions that help the transformation succeed, taking other changes already underway into account. The aim is to solve the problem in front of you and leave your organization better prepared for the next change.

We agree on the problem, what you want to achieve and what the work will cover. We then look at what gets in the way and decide where to act. That might mean changing how work is organized, building skills, coaching or helping teams change a shared practice. MEET^© guides the work through to follow-up and evaluation. We agree at the start on what to measure.

UNREST Suite brings together digital tools to examine a project, an organization or how a leader responds under pressure. The TST uses a premortem to explore how a project could fail. The OST assesses organizational agility and resilience. The LST, in private beta, explores how leaders respond in difficult situations. These tools inform decisions and can be used in our advisory work.
