Flagship study

The BELOVD Belief Index

Once a year we ask the people in our own communities what they believe about work, family, leaders and technology. Then we publish what they told us.

Drawn from members across the UK, US and South Africa. Built for leaders who want to know what people really think, not what they tick on a survey.

Why one body

Clients buy one practice. They stay because the practices talk to each other.

Most agencies work in one direction: culture into brands, or culture inside organisations. BELOVD does both, and runs its own communities that tell us what people really think.

  1. ListenEars and Voice collect signal from communities, research and channels.
  2. DecideBrain turns signal into strategy, AI systems and operating choices.
  3. AlignHeart makes the people inside able and willing to deliver it.
  4. ExpressEyes and Hands make it seen and felt, in content and in the room.

Six years. 586 projects. The same problems keep walking in.

We don't name clients. These are the six patterns we see most often, drawn from real work with the details changed. If one sounds like your organisation, that is where we start.

  1. BrainAI is on every agenda and nowhere in the work
  2. HeartOne organisation on paper, several in practice
  3. EarsLeaders hear the survey, not the people
  4. VoiceReach without relationship
  5. EyesWhat you say is not what people see
  6. HandsBusy, stretched and unclear on what matters

The listening network behind every engagement

BELOVD builds and runs its own communities and media. They keep us close to what people are saying, and give partners a trusted way in.

The Body Check

A diagnostic that scores your organisation across all six practices and gives you a prioritised plan.

How the Body Check works

Where the conversations happen.

Government, broadcast studios, stages and streets. These are the rooms that shape how we listen, and what we bring back to the work.
