Wikstroo is a personnel management consulting practice. We help organizations solve people problems by fixing the fit between how people work best and how their jobs are set up — through leadership and team development, culture change consulting, and neuroinclusive workplace design.

Everything is grounded in an active research program in organizational cognitive neuroscience and paired with before-and-after measurement, so you know whether it worked.

No — and this line matters to us. Wikstroo's services are developmental and non-clinical. We never diagnose, treat, or clinically assess anyone. We work on jobs, teams, environments, and management practices — the setup around people, not the people themselves.

If someone on your team needs clinical support, we'll say so plainly and encourage them toward the right licensed professional.

Never. Our assessments and tools are used for development only — understanding how a team works and how to set people up to succeed. They are never used for personnel selection decisions: hiring, firing, promotion, or discipline. This is a firm commitment, not a preference, and it's stated in every engagement agreement.

Founders and small business teams. CEOs, COOs, and their leadership teams. HR managers. Municipal and nonprofit leadership. Workforce development programs. If you lead people, the door is open — whether we're the right fit gets settled on the free call, not by a dropdown menu.

Home base is the Seacoast of New Hampshire. We work in person across New England and remotely anywhere in the world — most engagements blend both.

Every engagement is custom-scoped, so honest numbers require a conversation — but as an anchor: initial engagements typically begin near $5,000–$7,500, and comprehensive programs are scoped higher. We put a number on the problem before we put a number on the work, so you can weigh the investment against what poor fit is actually costing you.

Because we measure it. Every engagement pairs with pre/post metrics defined before the work starts — if we can't agree on how success will be measured, we won't start the work. You'll see what changed and by how much, in plain numbers.

A term we coined: the practice of recruiting cognitively diverse candidates without first preparing the structural changes needed to support them. The hire gets celebrated; the setup stays hostile; the outcome gets blamed on the person. Our neuroinclusive design work exists to make the term unnecessary — see the Research page for the full definition.

We can — leadership offsites, alignment sessions, and working workshops are part of the menu. But our best results come from measured engagements rather than single events, because a great workshop with no follow-through changes very little. On the fit call we'll tell you honestly which your situation calls for.

Fifteen to twenty minutes, no pitch deck, no pressure. You describe the problem as you see it, in plain language — no prep required. We'll tell you honestly whether it looks like a fit problem, what we'd try first, and whether we're the right people for it — including if we're not. You'll leave with at least one concrete thing to try next week, whether or not we work together.

Every engagement is principal-led: Dr. Mike Neilio scopes the work, designs the approach, leads the engagement, and stands behind the results — from first assessment to final measurement. As the practice grows, delivery may include hand-picked senior collaborators, but the principal who scopes your work is the principal accountable for it. No bait-and-switch, ever.

The interactive tools on this site run entirely in your browser — nothing you enter is collected or transmitted. Within engagements, data handling terms are defined in writing before any assessment begins, individual responses are treated confidentially, and findings are reported at the level agreed in your engagement terms.
