About SCARED SO WHAT

SCARED SO WHAT offers a unique approach on personal (PCM)  and organisational (OCM) change management. Our uniqueness is that while most organisational change management focuses on the organisation, we focus on the individual AND the organisation.


Global change experts and research shows that organisational change has a high propensity towards failure.  And when you ask why, the answer points towards lack of focus being given to the individuals expected to carry out the change.  That's where we succeed by bridging the gap between the organisation and the people who are intrinsically involved in the change. 


We also excel in the foundations of Transformational Leadership. Dr Grant's doctoral journey allowed him to explore this fascinating area and he also created the TRI2LEAD leadership model that champions leaders in the areas of Entrepreneurship, Transformational Leadership, and Narrative Hermenuetics.  Pulling all of this together, SSW LTD features a pioneering Transformational Leadership workshop to establish the base fundamentals for any organisation.


Coaching is a critical feature of both managing change and transforming leaders.  As such, we've empowered the change models to facilitate coaches to transform in the areas of change and leadership.  Dr. Grant's exeriences in global hospitality leadership also make him a coveted executive coach and he offers this service.


Our pioneering technology for Personal Change Management features the free standard app for individuals & educational institutions to download and use.  This is made possible through the SCARED SO WHAT SOCIAL COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANY (C.I.C.) that allows this service to be offered to individuals without charge.


The SSW PRO App program comes in mobile, desktop, and includes the first ever LIVE INSTANT change insights for leadership to be able to see their change culture as it is happening.  SSW PRO is licensable  for business and organisations.


SCARED SO WHAT LTD is a Companies House registered corporation within the United Kingdom.  Company number: 13896919


SCARED SO WHAT SOCIAL COMMUNITY INTEREST COMPANY is a Companies House registered C.I.C. within the United Kingdom.  Company number: 14775073


For true change transformation and adoption, organisational change management should include the individual's own needs and consideration of personal change.  You can do this by incorporating the SCARED SO WHAT methodology, app, and framework alongside the organisational change process. If you would like to include this model, the app, and the educational platform within your organisation, contact us today.

ESG has two important things in common:  PEOPLE and CHANGE.


People have not been taught how to manage personal change for themselves nor others.  There has not been a Personal Change Management process taught in schools, universities, churches, communities, or even in our working societies.  To impact our Environment we must change.  To impact our societies we must change. To create and enforce governance we must change.  But how?


People within Social and  SOCIETY at large must learn how to manage personal change for themselves if they are to impact change for others.  This is a critical and cognitive skillset that we must teach, champion, and embed within all communities.   People must learn to manage change if they are to impact and sustain change.


We urge all organisations and societies to implement Personal Change Management into the Social aspect of ESG.   Doing this gives us a greater opportunity to foster change once we understand how to manage it for ourselves.


SSW's Social Responsiblity is to teach people how to manage personal change for themselves and others.  As such, our committment is to make the model and the 1st generation app FREE for schools, universities, and educational bodies.   Click below to download our social committment offering.
