Most "people problems" are actually design problems.

Most "people problems" are actually design problems.

BOxD is an organizational consultancy that advises leaders across industries and growth stages on how to see the full picture of how their organizations work, and design them to work better.

The Big Idea

The Big Idea

People are shaped by the systems leaders create.

This idea is why Nenuca Syquia founded Better Organizations by Design in 2019. As a workplace innovation lead at a major enterprise company, she grew frustrated at how often leaders blamed people for failing to execute on a strategy when the system they worked within was designed to work against them.

She built BOxD to help leaders avoid the mistake of chasing false solutions or only treating symptoms on the surface. And to be the organizational consultancy she wished she could have hired in the past, one that is driven by its values and motivated to build up the capacity of its clients instead of making them dependent on endless billable hours. As she puts it: we want you to eventually break up with us!

Most other consultancies are only one half of the whole. Coaches work on the people. Consultants work on the org chart. Each gives you half a solution while the other half slowly undoes it (not intentionally, because not enough intention was given). BOxD solves both problems together because they were never separate in the first place.

What's good for people is good for business.

What's good for people is good for business.

We believe business is one of the most powerful forces shaping the world—capable of transforming communities, society, and the planet.

We believe work should be more than a transaction. Work has the potential to enrich people’s overall well-being and move humanity forward.

We prioritize clients in industries of consequence, i.e., those where decisions and innovations have profound effects on human well-being, social systems, ecological health, and our collective future.

When choosing our clients, we ask ourselves two questions:

Will their success contribute to a world we want to live in?
Are these the kinds of leaders we want to multiply?

If you're with us, let's chat and see what we can build together.
