WE CREATE ENVIRONMENTS WHERE REAL CHANGE HAPPENS
BEHAVIOUR CHANGE CONSULTANCY
WE ARE SIDESTREAM
Forget questionnaires and passive keynotes.
Real change happens through visceral, under-the-skin moments that create memories.
We craft immersive, evidence-based environments that provoke lasting behavioural shifts and spark innovation.
Workshops | Training | Immersive Experiences
OUR MISSION
OUR SERVICES ARE SPLIT INTO THREE CATEGORIES
WORKSHOPS AND TRAINING
Workshops and training sessions are ideal for teams of up to 100 people with close-knit collaboration, hands on learning and team development.
Our award-winning immersive simulations cater to large scale audiences, delivering impactful experiences and creating lasting memories for corporate functions of up to 300 participants.
IMMERSIVE EVENTS
For bespoke interventions, just get in touch and we will tailor-make exactly what you’re looking for.
BESPOKE INTERVENTIONS
What makes us different & where we add value?
MOST TRAINING OR E-LEARNING PROVIDERS DELIVER OUTCOMES AT SURFACE LEVEL 1 & 2.
1: The biased post-event survey
Did you enjoy the training on a scale from 1-5? (And most importantly – were the sandwiches any good?)
2: The short-term memory test
Back to school. The dreaded multiple-choice test that you immediately forget. (How many questions can you guess of the bat?)
That is not enough!
We believe in order to drive verifiable behaviour change and deliver real value in organisations, you must go further. This is why our method always includes two additional steps:
3: BEHAVIOURS
Without behaviours any training is a “tick box” exercise. Change happens through action. That’s why we use evidence-based cognitive tools and practice-based techniques from the world of immersive theatre.
4: SIMULATIONS
Any training that aims to spark behaviour change has to be oriented on real-world applications. That’s why we use our award-winning expertise in crafting visceral, realistic and fun simulations, that create lasting impact and memories.
Experiential learning for organisations who want more than just tick-box training.
We craft bold, immersive experiences designed to challenge thinking, shift behaviours, and deliver measurable, lasting transformation.
No passive lectures. Just engaging, surprising, and playful learning that gets under the skin. Because you’ll remember what makes you feel alive.
“A tremendous event. Made me think. We talked about it on our way home and I told friends afterwards. I loved how everyone kept in character before the event and also in the intermission.”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Any organisation looking for high-impact training that actually changes behaviour - If you’re out for training or e-learning to “tick off” your employee’s yearly compliance HR-record or if a certificate is your priority, we are the wrong company for you!

Simple. Book a call, and let’s explore how we can drive change together.
-
No. Everything we do is tailored to your needs. If you want a pre -packaged solution, e-learning platform, video-library, AI-bot badly simulating humans, survey, or branded certificate, there’ll be other training providers that can help you.
-
Something that no AI platform will ever be able to provide you with. A profoundly human experience with trained professionals.
An immersive simulation is a hands-on, interactive learning experience that places participants in realistic, high-pressure scenarios.
We borrow heavily from theatre and the dramatic arts to create engaging, emotionally compelling experiences that encourage quick thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making in a controlled environment. These simulations help teams develop skills that translate directly to real-world challenges and we have the experience and data to prove it.
-
We can run experiences in-person, online, or hybrid - wherever they’ll be most effective.
-
Our training goes beyond theory -participants actively engage, experiment, and apply what they learn. This means greater retention, stronger team dynamics, and improved problem-solving capabilities that drive real organisational impact.
