Openfield designs the conditions for leaders and their organizations to see clearly, decide together, and execute in complex systems.
We work with executive teams and transformation leaders in 10,000+ people organizations, where strategy, culture, and delivery must move as one.
ORIGIN
Most transformation efforts fail, not because people resist change, but because the system asks them to do the impossible.
That's the conviction Sandra Daniel and Philippe Coullomb started with when they founded Openfield in 2013. So they stopped managing change as a set of communications and initiatives, and focused on something more fundamental, explore realities, make the hard decisions, and move in a coordinated way.
Most firms manage change. We design the conditions for it.
Openfield is built on a simple belief: change works better when it is human, systemic, creative, courageous, and done together. We help organizations navigate complexity by centering people, seeing the whole system, opening new possibilities, and partnering deeply for outcomes that last. We exist to change the way change happens.
Our purpose
We create space for new possibilities to emerge, so that together we can solve problems bigger than ourselves.
Our mission
We help leaders from across sectors deal with complexity and achieve their boldest ambition from vision to execution.
What we mean by "systemic"
Systemic change means changing the conditions that produce current outcomes, not treating the symptoms. We work on governance, incentives, decision rights, operating rhythms, narratives, and the human conditions that make truth speakable.
Not isolated projects. Not theatre.
When these conditions shift, the organization can coordinate, execute, and adapt — without constant top-down push.
HOW WE WORK
Insight. Design. Activation.
This is the continuous, reinforcing cycle that ensures change is practical, felt, and adopted by the people who use it.
HOW WE SHOW UP
Human, Systemic, Creative, Brave, Together
These are not values written on a wall. They are the principles that shape every engagement, every room we design, every decision we help unlock.
See people
Read systems
Spark possibilities
Step in bravely
Build together
We are small by design in delivery, and global by reach.
A curated network of 200+ sensemakers, designers, artists, facilitators, and social scientists — assembled per engagement, global in reach.
ACROSS SECTORS
We work across sectors, but always in the same kind of context.
Multiple stakeholders, competing priorities, and high stakes. That's the reality when organizations need to align and move.
01
Right-sized teams
For each engagement, we assemble a small, senior team based on your context and stakes. No overhead. No juniors learning on your time.
02
Broad perspectives
We nurture connections across business, social sciences, art, pedagogy, and technology — to bring the widest range of skills and lived experience to every challenge.
03
Full-spectrum delivery
From systemic change design to leadership development, collective intelligence, and facilitation — always in service of organizations that can execute on their boldest ambitions.
