Four people who stay.

What you buy when you buy us.

You buy a season of six to twelve months, not a number of days. In that time we design the strategy and the way people take it up as one piece of work, from the first questionnaire to the last manager kit. You get someone who pushes you hard and is still there when the strategy hits its first bad week. We use tested methods and put them together for you. We judge the work by one thing: what is still in use six months after we leave.

Where we come from.

It started in China. A leader told us his managers did not understand the strategy, and when asked, he could not explain it himself. A well-known firm had written it, and written it well, but nobody in the company felt it was theirs. We cut it to fit the company, rewrote it so people could add to it, and watched what happened when they did. The studio was founded in 2009 and worked for fifteen years under another name. In April 2026 it became GNAK, based in Lille and London.

We are French artisans who have all lived or worked abroad. We prepare more than anyone, then let the room do its work. We like beautiful things, and we like people. We are not the suits from La Défense.
