Building organisational value, sustainably.

Turning the ‘why’ and ‘what’ of your strategy into a confident ‘how’ is what we do best.

If you’re like most of our clients, you’ll tap into our guidance ahead of significant business changes, growth curves, M&A activity or starting a sale or exit process. To create lasting value in your organisation, we:

  • Design and implement adaptive operating models that deliver better results for your business

  • Help you get the most from your capability and people strategy

  • Review and renew your business model to drive innovation and differentiation

  • Enhance and leverage your ecosystem to drive influence and systemic change.

Our mission is to help you fulfil your organisation’s potential, whether that’s scaling sustainably, or making a bigger difference in your marketplace or ecosystem. Hyfen exists to generate unique organisational value, sustainably, with you.


––––   WHY US?

We work with CEOs, founders and other senior leaders when they face their biggest challenges, seeing solutions through to their success.

Founded by Managing Partner Kirstin Schneider in 2019, Hyfen has become a go-to companion organisation in times of challenging change. We take a whole-of-organisation, people first, collaborative approach to provide you with a rich, thorough picture of your organisation’s value-creation potential.

The “art of the possible”
and the “science of done”.

We’re not a cookie-cutter consulting firm. We’re here when an outside perspective will help you reframe your challenge. When you need commercial savvy to sync up with people and purpose. When you need better options. And implementation support that can go the distance.

Experience. Optionality.
Systems thinking.

Hyfen is able to step into the arena with you when you need embedded, lived knowhow.

You need partners who can quickly understand your organisation from the inside out and the ground up.

Many of our clients are looking for a menu of options for creating organisational value. They want solutions that take into account that things change as you get further into change. We anticipate future obstacles to smooth the path.

Our clients look for an approach that folds in strategy, culture, change, people and capability. All at once. We’re integrators. Creating sustainable value takes integrative, systems thinking. Combined with common sense.

It’s exceptional thinking, applied to the everyday.

“Kirstin is the Deputy Chair of the Yarra Energy Foundation Board. At YEF we catalyse and accelerate community-focussed renewable energy transitions.

With her insight and energy, Kirstin has quickly become a trusted confidant to me, our CEO and many in the YEF team.”
