Co-Founding Director
Marcus Worrall, Co-Founder of Sprouta, is committed to empowering individuals and enhancing organisational performance on a grand scale. His work with leading global companies supports his mission to democratise development opportunities across all organisational levels, fostering transformative and vibrant cultures.
With a background as an executive coach, commercial leader, and consultant, Marcus holds a business degree and a postgraduate diploma in adult education. He began his career managing employment, education, and training programmes, which laid the foundation for his extensive experience.
For over two decades, Marcus has travelled globally, taking on various leadership roles in consulting, commercial, marketing, and management sectors. His expertise in managing diverse teams has consistently driven performance and growth, while his leadership in large-scale projects has enabled organisations to translate strategies into impactful leadership behaviours and capabilities.
Leonie and Marcus rejected the rigid, one-size-fits-all approach of large consulting firms. They were frustrated with the lack of attention to human aspects in organisational changes, the reliance on outdated methods, and the impersonal connections between clients and consultants.
This frustration led them to create Sprouta!
This initiative marks a significant shift towards 'The Future at Work,' envisioning a world where intricate challenges related to people, performance, and culture are addressed with personalised and flexible solutions. (with better fit-to-purpose and fit-scale solutions.)
Safe and open dialogue of discovery at each stakeholder level, providing clarity on your business and how the current challenges are affecting your workforce.
Clearly defining the challenge through each stakeholder’s eyes is the key to co-creating and delivering your end-to-end solution.
With knowledge of our partner’s expertise, we recommend the most appropriate team of one or more partners to co-create your data driven and context informed solution.
Sprouta actively leads and reports on the delivery of your purpose-fit solution, ensuring active ecosystem engagement to address your challenges and drive outcomes.
Many providers may commit to delivering a solution for you, knowing they’ll need to upskill or stretch their expertise! This can lead to an expensive failure for your business. Our model works on an intimate understanding of the expertise of each partner, so when recommending any solution, we have confidence that you have the right team to address your challenge.
Our founding directors have long standing careers in this space, so they understand the effectiveness of deep discovery, great solution design, and on-time delivery. Each partner is rigorously vetted to assess their expertise, capabilities, and experience in delivery. They’re also assessed on their readiness to collaborate and develop truly effective multi-partner solutions.
For Sprouta, innovation is the greatest measure of any solution provider! Are they simply delivering simple ‘rinse and repeat’ programs or delivering cutting-edge data-driven solutions? We truly want your business to become more innovative and future-ready. It’s the delivery of innovative solutions that’s the Sprouta business.
That’s right, our partners know each other and collaborate together to solve our clients’ challenges. We know that by collaborating we achieve better results. Particularly in the areas of informing or scaling solutions with technology.
Our services are highly valued by clients who regularly seek support from the Sprouta ecosystem to address their challenges. We retain a deep understanding of our clients so we can quickly assist with any ongoing needs. Clients return to Sprouta because of the time they save in the search and briefing of multiple consultants as well as the realisation of the high performing solutions our ecosystem has delivered. You could say, you’re always in a safe set of hands!
