Groundwork 2027
What would make next year's work easier? Hint: it's not another tool.
Groundwork 2027 helps your team design how it works with AI and with each other. Three supported places for organisations doing good.
Only three places. Applications close Sunday 13 December. A partnership between People.Business.Action and Creative Coast.
New technology, new funding, new people, new expectations. Next year will bring change, whether you plan for it or not. The teams that do well are the ones that decide, together, how they want to work when it comes.
We help you to do that. Creative Coast brings the AI and product expertise to find a technical solution to your challenge. People.Business.Action brings the soft infrastructure to support people: how your team works together.
Think of it as a thoughtful health check that comes with a plan to follow: the whole picture, in a short time, so you start 2027 ready.

Programme details and terms
Everything else you might want to know
Organisations that exist to do good, for people, communities, or the planet, with a team of around 10 people or more, where something is changing or needs to: new technology, growth, a restructure, a merger, new funding, or momentum that has stalled. Not sure you fit? Apply anyway.

Who we are
Two teams, one programme
We've teamed up because creating positive change takes both the technology and a deep understanding of people.
How people work together
People.Business.Action
Many organisations are good at strategy. Few have the relationships, commitments, and ways of working to make it happen.
PBA transforms workplace dynamics through a people-centred approach to create effective, resilient teams.
AI and product
Creative Coast
Creative Coast uses AI to make businesses more human, not less. Every tool is built around the people in a business and the clients they serve, so the technology supports those relationships instead of getting in the way.
Teams get the time to do their best work, and clients get every reason to stay.
