Elev-8 quarterly update: ongoing partnerships, new client work and the AI conversation
It’s been another busy quarter at Elev-8.
Alongside continuing work with long-standing partners, we’ve also started exciting new client work, launched new thinking, and continued the conversation around the role of leadership, learning and team climate in driving performance.
Here’s a snapshot of what’s been happening.
Ongoing partnerships and growing momentum
One of the things we’re most proud of is the strength of the partnerships we continue to build over time.
Meaningful behaviour change rarely happens overnight. It takes trust, consistency and a shared commitment to helping people and teams perform at their best.
This quarter, we’re delighted to continue working alongside:
- Keyloop
- Sainsbury’s
- Bupa
- Haleon
- B Braun
These partnerships reflect the kind of work we love most — practical, purposeful and focused on helping people shift behaviour in the real world of work.
We’re grateful for the trust these organisations continue to place in us, and excited about what’s still to come.
New client work with Superdrug
We’re also pleased to have started a new piece of work with Superdrug.
Every new partnership begins with curiosity: understanding the business, the people, the challenge and what needs to shift.
We’re already enjoying getting under the skin of the work and exploring how we can support meaningful change.
We’re excited to get started!
Upcoming webinar: The AI Battleground
AI is moving fast.
For L&D, HR and talent teams, the challenge is no longer just how to use it, but how to help people, leaders and organisations adapt to it properly.
That is why we’re partnering with the Collaboration Network to host the first in a new series of practical learning events for 2026.
The AI Battleground: How L&D teams are adapting and enabling the business to follow
Date: 16 June 2026
Time: 10:00–11:30
Location: Online
This interactive session will explore how organisations are using AI to improve efficiency and performance within L&D, helping leaders and employees adapt to AI-driven change, and preparing the wider business for evolving roles, skills and ways of working.
We’ll also hear practical insight from Baden Frosen, Talent Strategy Director at Fortinet, and Tristan Dhalla, Senior Learning Manager at BT Business.
AI adoption is not just a tech challenge. It is a people challenge — and that puts L&D, HR and talent teams right at the centre.
New thinking: Toxic leadership and the silent killer of performance
Sean has shared a new article exploring toxic leadership and its impact on performance.
The article looks at how leadership behaviours can quietly erode trust, confidence and team climate — often long before the damage shows up in performance data.
It’s a useful read for anyone thinking about the conditions leaders create, the behaviours teams experience day to day, and what it takes to build healthier, higher-performing environments.
Because poor leadership rarely sits in isolation.
It affects how safe people feel to speak up, how accountability shows up, how teams respond under pressure, and whether people feel able to do their best work.
Thank you to the clients, partners and associate team we continue to work alongside.
We’re grateful to support organisations that are investing in their people, strengthening leadership and building better climates for performance.
If any of the themes in this update resonate with you — from AI adoption to team climate, leadership behaviour or meaningful change — we’d love to chat.
