Behind the SME with Tom Kennard, CEO of Pragma Holis.
What happens when a consultancy puts people before process — and still delivers world-class outcomes?
In this episode of Behind the SME, we sit down with Tom Kennard, co-founder and CEO of Pragma Holis, a strategic consultancy that's rethinking how businesses approach transformation. With a background that spans the public and private sectors, Tom brings a fresh, systems-led approach to helping organisations become more adaptable, regenerative, and truly human-centric.
From working with grants, to guiding clients through complex change with clarity and purpose, Tom shares the mindset and methods that have shaped his journey — and his company’s mission.
We cover:
🌱 Why “human-first” isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a business imperative
🗣️ Using simple language instead of technical jargon to help build a better team
📈 Running a business with confidence
🤝 The purpose of grants and their importance
If you're a founder, leader, or changemaker curious about doing business differently — and better — this episode is for you.
