# David Kaplan Consulting Limited

David Kaplan Consulting Limited is a London-based strategic consulting firm serving businesses, charities, and family offices. The firm operates through two specialist divisions: Sonata, which focuses on business and charity transformation, and Generations, which specialises in family wealth management and family business structuring.

The firm delivers hands-on strategic planning, interim leadership placements, and organisational change management. Their approach combines business strategy with psychological insight—drawing on founder David Kaplan's extensive not-for-profit leadership background and his team's expertise in organisational psychology, neurobiology of human performance, and international business development.

What distinguishes DKC is their integration of rigorous strategic frameworks with psychological understanding of human dynamics. Rather than generic consulting, they tailor solutions to specific organisational cultures and individual leadership styles. Associates like Petra Breiner bring psychotherapy training and cognitive psychology expertise, whilst Susanne Jacobs brings CIPD accreditation and neuroleadership research. This combination allows them to address both structural and human factors in organisational transformation.

They serve mission-driven organisations and family enterprises seeking sustainable growth rather than quick fixes. The firm emphasises long-term capability building through mentoring, leadership development, and cultural change rather than transactional consulting. Their track record includes strategic planning, major gifts fundraising, senior team leadership, and facilitating significant organisational change across both large institutions and smaller enterprises.
