"Most people problems are actually design problems."

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, and to be the organizational consultancy she wished she could have hired in the past — 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 design. Each gives you half a solution while the other half slowly undoes it (not intentionally, of course, but because they weren't approached with the right intention).

BOxD works on both people and systems together, because they were never separate in the first place.
