A consultancy for modern business. Driving sustainable growth through creativity, technology and culture.
An Introduction
Hello, my name is Ben Forman, and I am a serial entrepreneur, working primarily in the creative and tech sector. I have built one of NZ’s most prestigious indie agenies - launching global apparel brand Allbirds, sheparding NZ Police through the pandemic, running two successful election campaigns for the greens, advertising education NZ to the world, running global campaigns for the makers or Pokemon Go and raising capital for a cross platform sci-fi Web3 business.

Facilitation
Most organisations are stuck in reactive mode. Teams are rushing, communication breaks down, and alignment slips. Leaders are forced to carry more, while clarity, creativity, and strategic focus get squeezed out.
At Ongoing Theory, we help shift your business from reactionary to intentional. Not by slowing down - but by improving how your leaders think, how teams collaborate, and how systems support performance. It’s not just about solving immediate challenges - it’s about upgrading how your organisation operates at every level.

OUR CIENTS COME FROM
The Alignment Theory
We help businesses solve modern challenges with timeless principles. While today’s business pressures - stress, burnout, disconnection - seem like modern problems, their root causes are human and universal. High performance isn’t just about better tools or strategies; it’s about how well your people are aligned, focused, and energised.
That’s why we developed The Alignment Theory - a practical framework for building leadership capacity and organisational clarity. We work with businesses to optimise how energy flows through their people, systems, and teams- ensuring alignment across mindset, behaviours, and actions. This alignment becomes the foundation for how you lead, collaborate, and perform.
Because when you’re in tune, everything moves with greater clarity, purpose, and ease. And that’s real nice.
