In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, leaders need to wear many hats.Comfort with digital technologies, including AI, is no longer a bonus—it’s a necessity.That’s why we focus exclusively on digitally fluent leaders.
At Bricoleur Consulting, we pair industry-leading digital leadership recruitment with world-class coaching. This is because we have seen that newly hired leaders benefit from extra support in their first few days, weeks and months. Also coaching for all leaders helps them develop better insight into their motivations and values leading to more aligned decision-making and reducing the risk of burnout.

❛ Digital fluency is crucial today, to more effective leadership ❜
Digital Leadership Recruitment
Digital and tech fluency refers to comfort leveraging technology for strategic benefit. Over 70% of digital transformations fail. Research shows that the major reason for their failure is the lack of senior leadership to oversee and steward the digital transformation efforts. A McKinsey study shows that organizations with tech-fluent leadership are 5x more likely to see strong AI returns, yet only 20% of senior leaders feel confident guiding AI transformation. We provide talent acquisition services to fill senior and specialist roles that require strategic and transformative thinking skills so as to drive change in ambiguous situations.
Our track record includes critical placements like Chief Digital Officer, Head of Performance Marketing, Head of Strategic Planning, Head of Data Analytics, Country Head and other C-suite roles and maintain a 90% + retention rate since we started. We are proud to add that nearly half of our placements have been women, many in leadership roles.

'Real' Insight to inform Leadership Identification and Development
As an organisation we always start with insight about an organisation’s culture and priorities. Our assessment, retention and alignment processes utilise projective and ethnographic research approaches when identifying leaders. Our insight-led approach combined with the nuanced understanding of the role requirements by our team who are all practicing professionals from the industry have resulted in our successful approach over the years.
* Research from Gallup highlights that 82%of the time, companies fail to choose the candidate with the right leadership talent, leading to poor business outcomes, disengaged employees, and increased turnover. Utilizing an insight-led approach helps mitigate this risk.
* According to the Center for Creative Leadership,58%of managers said they never received any formal leadership training, yet those who undergo evidence-based leadership development programs are 60% more effective in driving team performance and engagement.By anchoring leadership coaching in insight, organizations foster a more personalized, goal-oriented, and business-aligned approach that leads to lasting behavioral changes and stronger leadership outcomes.
'Real' Insight can Move the Needle
The evolution of HR to incorporate People Analytics tools has dramatically changed people practices in many organisations. With this evolution there has been an emphasis on quantification of people related aspects. While extremely useful, the picture can get clearer in two ways to get to ‘real’ insight:
1. Qualitative research to get to the ‘why’ in any issue. For example in the case of DEI, when after years of trying to actively move the needle on improving inclusion when you hit a roadblock, qualitative research can help you look behind the numbers to see what’s going on inside people’s heads. Qualitative research and its various methodologies can be instrumental in behaviour change.
