Can you support your story?
Every business tells a story. Few are built to support it.
Growth, strategy, and brand promise all point to a story about who a business is becoming. But without aligned systems, priorities, and behaviors, that story becomes difficult to sustain.

Novel Work Co. helps organizations build the environment that allows their story to hold up under real conditions — not just ideal ones.

We help organizations align what they say with how they operate, so growth becomes sustainable rather than aspirational.

Here's how.
How we engage to make it real.
Insight alone doesn’t change an organization. We focus on what makes progress stick — aligning strategy, structure, and behavior around what matters most.
Strategy Alignment
From strategy development to strategy alignment, we clarify maturity priorities so strategy translates into consistent outcomes.
Operational Design
We develop and design the right structure, roles, and incentives that align with the stated direction and support the story you are telling.
Value Delivery
We evaluate and improve work flows so customers experience what the business promises, day in and day out, consistently.
Leadership Capability
We develop leaders to be capable of reinforcing the story through daily decisions and actions, so your story continues to make an impact.
