About us

We’re MAD

(Making A Difference) is who we are.
(Making A Difference) is what we do.

Partnering with Forward Thinking is a rare and unique experience, it’s different. And It’s that difference that will make the difference.

This is what makes us different.

We’ve worked with over 400 businesses in the last 5 years, and everyone of them wanted the same things. More customers, more revenue, more profits.

These business leaders also wanted to create a better culture, and lead a highly motivated team all delivering amazing results and creating the life they have always wanted, for everyone.

But when we dug a little deeper, we found that they all wanted more. Something else…

They wanted to MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Forward Thinking is here to help you do just that.
And it’s called Success GPS.

We built Success GPS, our unique system to enable business owners to grow their businesses, whilst making a massive positive impact in their own world, the world of their employees and their customers too, and it works.

It works regardless of your business knowledge or experience, the size of your business or the industry you operate in. We’ve helped businesses in recruitment, accountancy, manufacturing, marketing. You name it, we’ve been there and done it.

We are in the business of transforming businesses forever.

Success GPS wires together the strategies for growing a modern business, and the practical psychology of growing the people in the process, and the results are massive. Businesses we work with grow in a profoundly meaningful way.

We don’t want you to make money at any cost, we want you to build a business, and make money by making a difference. By focusing on purpose over profit, relationships over revenue, impact over income, and meaning over money. And we’ll certify your business. A seal of approval for future employees, partners and investors.

  And, YOU!

The result? Success for everyone involved!

Hi, Andy Henderson here.

Since 2018, I’ve used Success GPS to help 100s of businesses transform their culture and achieve growth they previously thought impossible.

After a successful corporate career, where I took a business from £12 million to £25 million in just three years, I decided to help other organisations realise their own potential. Combining 20+ years of experience — including the valuable lessons I learned from mistakes I made, as well as big wins — I created Success GPS to help businesses go from stuck to unstoppable.

Simply put, Success GPS is a 6 step system that will help you and your fellow board members see with absolute clarity where you are, where you want to be and how to get there. As one client put it, it’s like goal setting with a Virtual Reality headset on. This is far more than another goal setting exercise though. It’s about the psychology that spurs you to take the right action, the strategy that leads to predictable results and the power of accountability.

I’m not a traditional consultant. I’m not interested in telling you what to do. Think of me more like a Sherpa Guide, helping you summit the mountain of your own collective potential.

Success GPS works for any business in any sector. All it asks of you is to come prepared for honest conversation and bold action.
