WE CREATE ENVIRONMENTS WHERE REAL CHANGE HAPPENS
BEHAVIOUR CHANGE CONSULTANCY
WE ARE SIDESTREAM
WHERE INSIGHT MEETS IMPACT.
WE CREATE VISCERAL, UNDER-THE-SKIN MOMENTS AND MEMORIES THAT LAST. QUESTIONNAIRES AND KEYNOTES DON’T CHANGE ANYTHING -
BEHAVIOURS DO.
We don’t just talk about change; We create the conditions for it.
Our mission is to cause sustainable behaviour change via evidence-based, behavioural techniques, in which your team is taking an active part.
Workshops / Training / Immersive Experiences that provoke behavioural shifts and spark innovation.
OUR MISSION
OUR SERVICES ARE SPLIT INTO THREE CATEGORIES
WORKSHOPS AND TRAINING
Workshops and training sessions are ideal for teams of up to 30 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.
Sidestream is an experiential learning and training consultancy built for organisations that don’t just want to tick boxes - they want real, measurable change.
We design high-impact, immersive experiences that challenge thinking, shift behaviours, and drive lasting transformation.
No passive lectures. Just bold, disruptive, and strategic learning that gets under the skin and stays there. And - it’s also fun.
Learning that sticks should be engaging, surprising, and even playful. People remember what makes them feel alive.
“From the setting to the storytelling, everything worked together to make this an unforgettable, transformative experience.”

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Any organisation looking for high-impact training that actually changes behaviour - whether you’re in tech, finance, healthcare, government, or beyond.
-
Simple. Book a call, and let’s explore how we can drive real change together.
-
No. Everything we do is tailored to your needs. If you want a pre -packaged solution, e-learning platform or survey, we’re probably not the right fit.
-
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.
-
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.
