Simplify to Accelerate Strategy, Execution, and Growth

 

Lead with clarity. Deliver with confidence. Grow with purpose.

Ebullient Business Designers is a strategy and transformation studio led by Chris Parker and backed by a curated ecosystem of expert partners. We work with senior leaders at critical inflection points – navigating rapid scale, reinvention, or AI-led change – to cut through complexity and move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

You won’t find jargon or inflated roadmaps here. Just the structure, space, and momentum to help you and your organization to move forward with focus.

What would be possible if it were simple?

We help you remove friction, focus your ambition, and move forward with momentum and purpose.

Transformation is not about more effort. It is about better alignment. Whether you are launching a new strategy, integrating AI, or reshaping how your leadership team works together, we help you simplify to accelerate.

Strategy Acceleration

When direction feels fuzzy or fragmented, we help you regain clarity fast. Our Strategy Acceleration Sprint is a focused, co-creative process that aligns your leadership team around a compelling narrative, shared priorities, and actionable roadmap. Whether you are navigating a transformation, post-merger ambiguity, or product pivot, we distill the swirl into a clear and motivating strategy you can believe in and act on immediately. No jargon. No endless decks. Just shared clarity and real traction.

Transformation Acceleration

Strategy alone does not shift an organization. Execution does. Transformation Acceleration is how we help leaders turn intent into experience. We guide you and your teams through the real work of embedding strategy into rhythm, structure, and behavior without losing your people along the way. Whether you are building new operating models, aligning leadership cadence, or enabling internal change agents, this service blends practical design with emotional intelligence to deliver change that sticks.

Growth Acceleration

At key moments in your journey, how you lead must evolve: not just what you lead. Growth Acceleration is a personalized path for individual leaders and leadership teams navigating transitions, reinvention, or renewed ambition. Through coaching, retreats, and facilitated alignment, we help you cultivate presence, unlock trust, and clarify what leadership means in this next chapter. It is not about adding more. It is about deepening your impact with authenticity, confidence, and sustainable energy.

From swirl to momentum.

From pressure to presence.

We work with leaders at the edge of change, when clarity becomes urgent and alignment becomes essential.

Our clients are senior leaders and purpose-driven operators navigating growth, reinvention, or complexity. They come to us when the strategy is stuck, when teams are spinning, or when execution has lost its rhythm.  We typically work with:

Scale-up founders and CxOs

Leading rapid growth and platform scale without sacrificing team alignment, delivery focus, and product clarity.

Enterprise transformation and digital leaders

Driving cross-functional change, AI integration, or operating model reinvention within a complex enterprise.

Conscious executives in transition

Navigating a leadership shift, new role, or personal reinvention with the desire to lead with greater clarity and presence.

Each of these leaders is already capable. They are not looking for gurus. They are looking for a partner who brings structure, momentum, and clarity.  A partner who helps them turn pressure into progress.

Over the past couple of years Chris has helped me to transform and improve our IT and project organisation. His human approach to challenge and coach everyone to grow through simplicity is super refreshing and effective.

I’m delighted to recommend Ebullient, whose guidance and impact have been pivotal to our success. Whenever we faced challenges that felt insurmountable, their calm confidence and steady support inspired us to push forward. Their structured approach to problem-solving and ability to create alignment had a profound effect on our growth. Much of our progress today stands on the foundation they helped us build. We’re deeply grateful for their contribution.

Ebullient brings a rare blend of generosity, clarity, and practical coaching. Their Simple Business Design helped me gain confidence and focus in my strategy as an entrepreneur. The process combines thoughtful coaching with grounded business advice. If you’re feeling stuck in complexity, this is a powerful way to reset. Their pursuit of simplicity is clear throughout, with precise questions, clear observations, and practical steps. It made the whole journey feel lighter and more focused.

I hereby would like to fully and unconditionally recommend Chris Parker, as an executive Coach. He has been pivotal in helping me grow and remain solid, in the fundamental transformation of our community.  Chris is one of those very rare people capable of mastering the three levers of Logos (intellectual brilliance, thought leadership, and a rare intelligence), Ethos (behaviors, manners, ethics) and Pathos (Values and emotions) with rare success.  Far from the “Teflon Coach” model that we see too often, he is capable, whilst pushing his own ego and needs to the side, to be fully there for you, challenge and support you and disagree when he thinks your intellectual integrity is at risk.  Chris has a rare skill in coaching or being an agile “sparring-partner”.

What stands out about Chris is his deeply human approach to leadership. He has this innate ability to engage with people in a way that allows their passion and professionalism to truly shine. Chris’s ability to seamlessly align all teams with business goals ensures that our organization continues to innovate and create value.  But Chris doesn’t just stop at being an exceptional leader and executive. His role as a business design coach and consultant is where his human-centric approach flourishes. Witnessing how he supports and guides leaders through personal coaching and team alignment, especially during times of change, is deeply inspiring. It’s clear that his involvement leads to more coherent and empowered leadership within the company.

Using the simple business canvas with Ebullient was quick, effective, and insightful. They guided us step by step, encouraging iteration until we had a clear, robust version. It resulted in a coherent, focused plan to drive strategic goals faster while staying grounded in reality. Ebullient fosters collaboration, surfaces pain points with clarity, and creates an engaging atmosphere to get meaningful work done.

Working with Ebullient is exactly what I needed to grow my business. I was confused with the direction to take my work, and this drained my mental and physical energy. This programme has cleared my thinking and revitalised my energy to give my business the boost it needs. This is definitely a programme that will continue to allow my business to grow whilst being aligned with my vision.

I can highly recommend trying out the simple business canvas. Not only does it help you as an entrepreneur to ask yourself the right questions on what you’d like to achieve, but also it facilitates you to make the connection to how and with whom you’d like to achieve this for your business. I does it with utmost simplicity and it does not take a lot of your time.   It does focuses on the key topics you always need to take into account and balance when starting, growing or improving your organisation (big and small). In this way it will support and accelerate your own thought and decision making process.

A great program for keeping an eye on your business and keeping on track!  Things became much clearer for me after using this canvas.  I saw new connections between different parts of my business and made some significant improvements.  It made me think about things which are not daily routine but are very important!

I have the privilege of working with Chris Parker as my leadership coach since becoming IT Director, and his impact on my professional growth has been remarkable. Chris’ vision, experience, and knowledge are invaluable assets that you can rely on.  He has an exceptional ability to simplify complex situations, helping me navigate the intricacies of our ever-evolving Business Technology landscape. Chris is not just a coach but an efficient sparring partner, always challenging me to think critically and strategically.  His unwavering commitment to placing people at the core of every initiative ensures that our solutions are not only efficient but also genuinely human-centered and user-centric.

These are confusing times. If you want to get rid of the clutter and focus on what will really help you to accelerate your business have a look at the ebullient canvas as we did for two businesses. Chris, with whom we have worked before, has guided us through the process and helped us to focus on what will really push us forward. The outcome: simplicity of strategy and clarity of execution. If you want a few days of fun and innovation, Chris is your guy!

I was skeptical at first, being a serial entrepreneur with four companies under my belt. However, the Ebullient experience was super helpful as I pushed through a pivot in our strategy. Working with Ebullient felt like a conversation to me. I’d answer someone else’s questions, and that would give me new ideas (super quickly) to ponder. It felt much faster and more certain than just thinking through things alone. If you need to change directions (or set your first direction), I recommend Ebullient!

Frequently reflecting on your company is essential for any entrepreneur, yet it often gets lost in daily demands. Working with Ebullient’s simple business approach helped me clarify and refocus my thinking in a shifting business environment. The process is both straightforward and confronting, insightful and powerful. Ebullient guides it with precision, asking the right questions at the right time while creating a trusted and energizing space for meaningful outcomes.

Unscripted. Strategic. Surprisingly Human.

Conversations that go beneath the surface of leadership and change

Hosted by Chris Parker, the Business Simplicity Podcast is a curated space where founders, executives, and transformation leaders share how they navigate complexity and move forward with intention and clarity.

Each episode offers an inside look at how bold leaders simplify what matters most. From scaling AI responsibly to leading culture change and aligning teams, guests reveal the hard-earned insights that make progress sustainable.

It is not just a show. It is a signal of what is possible when simplicity leads.

“The art of knowing is knowing what to ignore” – Rumi

Leadership is not just about direction. It is about humanity.

At the heart of Ebullient is a belief that transformation is only sustainable when it honors the human experience. Strategy and systems provide the structure, but it is the way leaders relate, decide, and engage that determines whether change becomes real.

The book Lead from Love with Rumi, written by Chris Parker, expresses this philosophy through 100 concise reflections that bring emotional clarity into modern leadership. Inspired by the poetry of Rumi, each piece explores how empathy, focus, and presence create deeper trust and stronger decisions.

This mindset is not separate from our services. It is what shapes them:

  • In strategy formulation, it sharpens attention on what truly matters

  • In execution design, it uncovers the human dynamics that unlock progress

  • In leadership development, it cultivates clarity, care, and personal resonance

Love in this context is not softness. It is a leadership stance rooted in awareness, courage, and accountability. It is how transformation becomes personal and how progress becomes sustainable.
