The Hidden Value of Disagreement: Why Our Internal Debate is Your Secret to Success
Most consulting firms promise consensus. We promise conflict.
If you hire MatterBetter, we guarantee you won't receive a solution that our team simply "agreed on."
In fact, if every person on our team immediately agrees on the answer to your complex problem, we haven’t done our job.
The Inherent Tension of Progress
Every significant business challenge exists between two fundamental poles: the pure heart of the mission and the hard practicality of implementation.
One side of the debate speaks the language of vision, spirituality and organizational purpose. They focus on the why, the human impact, the long-term vision, and the emotional resonance of the change. The other side speaks the language of project management, methodology and data. They are focused on the how, the budget, the timeline, the clear process steps.
A weak solution emerges when one side dominates: either a beautiful, empathetic strategy that’s impossible to execute, or a ruthlessly efficient process that drains the soul of the team.
The MatterBetter Approach
This intentional tension isn't theoretical. It’s built into our DNA. MatterBetter was founded by two people who have fundamentally different views on where solutions begin.
Jane anchors firmly to the profound why. She seeks meaning, connection and alignment, ensuring every initiative resonates with your organization's highest Purpose and serves your People.
Amanda grounds the work in the ironclad how. She builds the systems, audits the steps and applies rigorous Process methodologies, ensuring that vision is not just a dream but a scalable, executable plan.
At MatterBetter, we do not tolerate compromise, we demand synthesis. We created our company as two opposites who are deliberately positioned to challenge each other. The solution we bring to you must survive the constant, rigorous debate between Jane’s heartfelt ideal and Amanda’s practical reality, always using the needs and capability of your People as the highest metric for success. We force the Process to serve the Purpose, ensuring the how respects the why, and we challenge the Purpose to adhere to a disciplined Process, ensuring the why is scalable for your teams.
This internal, rigorous debate isn't chaos, it’s quality control. This debate is your business’s ultimate insurance policy. The solution we eventually present to you isn't the one everyone merely approved of. It’s the one that survived our professional debate.
The result is a strategy that is simultaneously anchored deeply in your People and your Purpose, yet built with the most disciplined, practical Process. We deliver a solution that is both empathetic enough to inspire your teams and practical enough to actually scale.
We disagree internally so that when we present the final strategy, you can move forward with certainty and undeniable momentum.
