The Complexity Pressure Check
See where increasing complexity may be putting pressure on leadership, decision-making and ways of working
This check is designed for people leading significant work.
As organisations grow, change or interconnect, decisions, roles and relationships often become more tightly coupled. Things still work, but it can feel harder to hold everything together.
The Complexity Pressure Check helps you to see where that pressure is building.
It only takes a few minutes, but it could save you countless hours.

For Leaders and Senior Professionals
We believe your time should be used well
This is grounded in leadership, psychology and complexity thinking for leaders and senior professionals who:
- Carry real responsibility and consequence
- Operate in environments with high interdependence
- Are accountable for outcomes, not just activity
- Sense that the system is under strain, even if performance remains strong
This will immediately give you:
- A system-level check, not a personal assessment
- A way to surface patterns that often go unnoticed
What you’ll receive:
- A short set of prompts (5–7 minutes)
- An indication of where pressure may be concentrating
- Language to describe what is becoming harder
- An option to talk it through, if useful
This is not: A personality or wellbeing assessment, a judgement of competence or performance, a set of recommendations or advice.
We work with major organisations
Don’t just take our word for it, see what others have to say
"Change is difficult at the best of times. Change when the world is changing around you needs a change not just in the way you think, but in the way your team thinks. We've been left with several tools to enable us to work better with complexity and we couldn't recommend Stephen enough for team coaching."
Alistair Maltby
Director of UK Operations Estate, The Woodland Trust
"Stephen is an exceptional coach. He helped us adjust to working in a very different context. He helped me to strike a better balance between retaining some of the things that had stood me in good stead, lose my attachment to others and develop new, additional skills and approaches that were better suited to my new role / organisation."
