Our Story

What if every workday, every hour, every minute was invested intentionally. What results could your team achieve?

We’ve all been involved in operations that burned through finances for the sake of growth only to reverse course when parts of the growth plan did not work. These mistakes are costly and happen regularly each year.

These challenges cropped up repeatedly throughout our combined decades of Operations and Enablement experience, where we sometimes managed over 2,000 salespeople at points in our career. We always thought there must be a better way to measure sales performance across the sales organisation, which would focus on what the sales teams actually produced vs. what they planned to achieve.

This fascination soon turned to passion, and we founded Lative to find a new, insight-driven way to measure our teams’ performance and through this be able to create effective and efficient sales teams, while being able to simulate optimal organisational designs for the future.
