For sport, community & purpose-led organisations · Aotearoa

Strategy that
gets people moving.

We help sport, community and purpose-led organisations across New Zealand get clear on where they’re going, bring their people with them and turn ambition into action.

Start a conversation

A 20 minute chat, no pitch. If we are not the right fit we will say so.

Sound familiar?

Most of the organisations we meet say something like this.

  • 01“We have plenty of ideas, but we’re not turning them into action.”

  • 02“Our team aren’t quite on the same page.”

  • 03“We need help making some bold calls.”

  • 04“We have a strategy, but it isn’t driving what we do.”

  • 05“Every dollar is stretched and funding is harder to win.”

  • 06“We know where we want to go. We need help getting there.”

That’s the kind of stuff we help with.

What we help with

Three things, done properly.

01

Get clear

Work out where you’re going and what matters most.

02

Make choices

Turn competing ideas into one focused direction your people believe in.

03

Get moving

Decide what happens next, who owns it, and how you’ll see progress.

Who we work with

Organisations with big ambitions and plenty of people to bring along.

A community sports team gathered together on a grass field

Sport

Clubs and regional bodies growing participation and performance, through to stadiums, teams, gyms and brands building audience and revenue.

A community group planning together around a table

Community

Trusts, not-for-profits, membership bodies and community groups making a real difference.

Purpose-led organisations

Government agencies, councils, businesses and organisations where success means more than the bottom line.

Full-day strategy day

Get everyone pointed the same way

Something different

Shaped around what you’re actually doing

You need something shaped around you, not off the shelf.

You leave with

A custom project or task, speaking, events, or ongoing support — shaped to your needs.

Let’s talkQuoted to scope

Why BoldGround

Be bold about where you’re going. Stay grounded in how you get there.

Bold

For people willing to make a real call, back an ambition and say no to the rest.

Ground

Solid thinking, plain language and a plan that fits the time and people you actually have.

What you can count on

  • You work directly with the people doing the work, start to finish
  • You know the price before we begin
  • You leave every session with the decisions written down
  • We will tell you straight if we are not the right fit

Scott and Monica

You get the people doing the work.

BoldGround is Scott and Monica Willson — a husband and wife team with experience across sport, business, marketing, tourism, central and local government and community.

Being small is the point. As we grow and bring in more people, working directly with the people doing the work is the part we protect.

Policy and service design experience from central government, plus governance work with community and volunteer organisations — creative, strategic and at home in front of a room.

What people say

We have helped teams get clear, make a decision and leave the room ready to act.

Scott and Monica were the perfect fit for leading our team with strategic planning. This is something we do every 3 – 4 years. Scott led our team with helpful insights, great team activities and you hardly knew you were working. They were great at getting the team back on task when we strayed to other areas and ensuring everyone had a voice. Would highly recommend this dynamic team for other groups.
