What if you had the ability to influence how others think, behave and feel – and to better manage own thoughts and behaviours – you had power.
What if that knowledge could be used to create a more sustainable and equitable world?
Alleyne& is a collaborative consultancy and research incubator (The Co-Lab) that designs and delivers organisational programmes and public engagement activities to drive change.
Our work is driven through our founder Suzanne Alleyne’s groundbreaking research Neurology of Power™. Neurology of Power asks where power resides in the brain and the body. This question enables a journey that supports the creation of sustainability, equitability and resilience in workspaces and wider society.
Our consultancy can
• Help you solve a challenge, often around people, culture or strategy
• Create or co-create a public programme or project
• Chairing and facilitation services
Through our incubator (The Co-Lab)
• Collaborate on a research project
• Thought leadership
Alleyne& has a diverse team, creating new ways of working where collaboration and partnership sit at our heart. We deliberately work across sectors from Arts & Culture, public authorities and global brands, cross pollinating ideas, knowledge and skills. As a result, we often create new, progressive working models.
We think that understanding and managing your relationship to power is one of the most important levers to pull for your success.
We’re told our brilliance is our ability to articulate what you can see, but also what you can’t, we build a picture of your whole organisation enabling you to achieve your goals.
In a society increasingly driven by brands, our organisational work is important.
‘Sustainable Brilliance’ is our people development framework. We create and deliver a range of workforce and community development programmes, through the lens of power.
No matter how great your strategy is, all organisations need exceptional organisational culture. We believe that you can transform your results through working with us.
Alleyne& encourages organisations to look at power and how it manifests personally and collectively. We facilitate sessions to discover what it feels like to work in your workplace, we examine at your collective beliefs and behaviours, and explore what everyone needs to thrive.
Our Sustainable Brilliance™ workshops will support your team to articulate a culture where everyone can reach their potential, and you will leave an action plan towards a more sustainable and equitable working culture.
Our incubator pursues novel research projects, collaborating with thought leaders across the arts & cultural sector and beyond. Research and findings are incorporated into work with organisations, creating an iterative cycle of cultural change. We currently centre three key themes:
(1) Power, culture, and equitable spaces
(2) Neurodiversity, progressive leadership, and innovation
(3) Self-care and well-being
Neurology of Power™ (NoP) is a ground-breaking iterative research project created by Suzanne Alleyne. This research on Power underpins everything we do at Alleyne&.
Power is so fundamental to how we exist as human beings. NoP aims to research, share, explain and demystify the science of where Power resides in the brain and the body, and understand how Power works.
NoP translates neuroscience into everyday language and practical tools, with an aim to transform systemic power structures into equitable environmental, social and governance (ESG) outcomes, and to support individuals, communities and organisations to thrive.
We’ve created a hub for everything you would want to know about power on allaboutpower.org.
As an artist, Suzanne seeks to challenge inequalities in life through conversation and her process is always collaborative. For her, the art of conversation is how she makes sense of her life and her place in the world. In its creation, she seeks to shed a similar light for participants and audiences.
We have worked with a range of local and international partners including: Barbican, Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, Humboldt Forum, British Council, Canada Council and Factory International
An inaugural 2016 Arts Council England changemaker, Suzanne is a guest lecturer at King’s College London a Brand Ambassador for Achates Philanthropy and an RSA, DEMOS and 2020 Churchill Fellow.

“With Suzanne’s help we learned how interdependency shifts power and provokes change, not just in the room but beyond it. This principle now underpins how we work with partners, artists and communities, and ultimately led to us winning the Calouste Gulbenkian Award for Civic Arts Organisations in 2023.“
Swatch Europe
“…We have worked with Suzanne on a range of sports and lifestyle projects around the globe. As a brand consultant and producer she is the best we’ve worked with… “
V&A Museum
“Suzanne brings an exciting commercial sense of business to the art and is the most effective link between corporations and innovative artists – a brilliant thinker.”
GSTT (Guy’s and St Thomas’ Trust)
“Suzanne has the extraordinary ability to cross between the commercial and public sector worlds with ease… It isn’t about the subject material that makes Suzanne a secret weapon – it is her ability to see the beauty of opportunity in the gap.”
House of Lords
“Her attention to detail is first class and she gets the best out of everyone she works with.”
Swiss-Ski (Swiss National Ski team)
“Suzanne delivered our change management strategy. It was challenging, but it was brilliant and it worked.”
ARENA
“Mountains have their own rules, it doesn’t matter which country they are in, you just need someone who understands how they work and who makes them work. That person is Suzanne.”
