Work Extraordinary Recognised for Leadership & Organisation Design Excellence 2026

Work Extraordinary has been awarded the Diamond Distinction Award 2026 for Leadership & Organisation Design Excellence, recognising their standout work helping founders and leadership teams design the people, structure, and culture required to scale confidently and sustainably.

Scaling Done Properly

This specialist consultancy exists to solve a common challenge for fast-growing businesses: the moment ambition outpaces structure. As entrepreneurial companies grow, leadership pressure increases, decision-making slows, and teams can lose alignment. Their work addresses this directly by helping founders create clarity of direction, strengthen leadership capability, and build an operating model that enables growth without losing momentum.

Organisation Design That Drives Performance

Rather than focusing on surface-level initiatives, the team connects leadership development to real organisational outcomes. Their work strengthens engagement, improves operational effectiveness, and helps businesses build customer-centric propositions through clearer priorities, stronger accountability, and healthier ways of working. This makes their support especially valuable for scale-ups needing practical change that lasts.

Expert-Led Support

Founded by Barry McNeill, the business brings over 25 years of consulting experience across a wide range of industries. It is supported by organisational and leadership development specialists, including occupational psychologists and executive coaches—ensuring the approach considers both performance and the human dynamics that determine whether change truly embeds.

A Trusted Partner for Growing Businesses

They are known for helping leaders step out of being the bottleneck and into building trusted, empowered teams. Through sharper leadership, clearer structure, and culture development that fits the realities of scaling, they enable entrepreneurial businesses to thrive through growth rather than struggle through it.
