About New Horizon Solutions

Richard Dunks and Graeme Linklater founded New Horizon Solutions after repeatedly seeing strong hires underperform because the surrounding business environment was not set
up for success. In many cases, the real issue was weak alignment across culture,
expectations, capability and leadership, not the quality of the individual.

Richard leads the People, Culture and Talent offer, helping leadership teams improve culture, engagement, performance, workforce planning and succession readiness in periods of growth, change or pressure. 

 

How NHS approaches the work

NHS works with leadership teams to identify the people issues affecting business  performance and then put practical structure around them. Engagements may begin with a hiring issue, but the work often extends into culture, capability, performance, succession and workforce planning.
NHS People

People, Culture and Talent

Culture and engagement diagnostics, workforce strategy and planning, work personality insights, succession and future-proofing, executive search and CPO advisory.

Many clients come forward when performance, engagement or leadership issues are emerging, but the cause is still unclear.

NHS starts with diagnostics to identify the underlying issue and then works with leadership to address it through a structured, practical engagement.

 
boards and executive teams

Who NHS works with

NHS works with founder-led businesses, SMEs, boards and executive teams, but the same challenges also appear in more established and corporate environments. Growth, change, succession pressure, underperformance and leadership strain are not limited to one ownership model.

The work is industry-agnostic, with experience across professional services, engineering, heavy industry, technology and other sectors where people decisions are central to business performance.

Compono gives NHS a measurable baseline from the outset across work personality, culture and engagement. That allows Richard to focus earlier on interpreting the findings, identifying capability gaps and helping leaders act on what the data shows.

Track record

Deep operational and advisory experience working with boards, shareholders, CEOs and leadership teams.

A practical partnership approach built around embedded support, measurable outcomes and stronger people performance over time.

Where Compono fits

Before using Compono, culture and team assessment often relied more heavily on experience, observation and judgement. Compono strengthens that work with clearer evidence, making it easier to explain findings, prioritise action and track change over time.

Compono adds a practical data layer across work personality, culture and engagement. This supports more informed decisions on workforce planning, team alignment, succession and the capability required for sustainable growth.

The result is a more evidence-based engagement, with clearer diagnosis, more focused action and a measurable line of sight over progress.
