Knowledge & Advisory Studio · Johannesburg

We make transformation impossible to ignore.

A media, advisory and convening company focused on how organisations think, adapt and perform.

01 What Makoporosh is

Most transformation initiatives remove the wrong walls. We exist to identify what is actually load-bearing in an organisation — and to make that thinking public, useful, and unignorable.

Media
Make sense of complexity
Podcasts, essays and analysis that make complex ideas accessible.
Advisory
Navigate transformation with confidence
Strategic facilitation and advisory support for organisations navigating change.
Convening
Bring the right people into the room
Curated conversations, roundtables and events that connect decision-makers.
Learning
Build capability for change

02 Three platforms, one idea

Why do organisations struggle to change—and what does it take to do it well?

The Podcast

Built to Behave

Why organisations behave the way they are — and what it costs when the design is wrong.

Long-form conversations with executives, researchers, and global thinkers on what transformation actually takes in African industries. The questions no one else asks.

The challenge is rarely knowing what to do. The challenge is understanding what prevents it from happening.
