Sparked
Helping organisations build leadership and AI capability, without losing the human touch
SPARKED was created from a simple belief: change should help your people perform and grow, not leave them feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or left behind.
Founded by Grant Verhoeven, SPARKED works with leaders, teams, and organisations to build confidence, capability, and practical ways of working in the changing landscape of AI.
SPARKED combines leadership development, facilitation, coaching, and practical AI adoption techniques to help organisations navigate these challenges in a human-centred and practical way.
What makes SPARKED different is our human-centred, strengths-based approach.
Our work commonly includes: Leadership workshops, coaching for leaders and managers, facilitation for teams navigating change, career transition and workforce readiness sessions, and conference presentations and speaking.
As AI rapidly changes the world of work, many organisations and leaders are asking the same questions:
- How do we help our people stay relevant?
- What skills matter the most in the AI era?
- How do we improve efficiency without exhausting our teams?
- How do leaders confidently lead through uncertainty and change?
- How do we adopt AI without losing trust, judgement, and human connections?
These are the conversations SPARKED helps organisations navigate.
We are proud to be Wellington-based, helping New Zealand organisations build practical human-centred capability for the future of work.
