Why “Drift Club?”
“The forces which displace continents are the same as those which produce great fold-mountain ranges. Continental drift, faults and compressions, earthquakes, volcanicity, transgression cycles and polar wandering are undoubtedly connected causally on a grand scale. ”
— Alfred L. Wegener
Drift Club Consulting draws its name from the theory of continental drift, introduced by geophysicist Alfred Wegener. His pioneering insight — that the invisible forces reshaping the earth were part of a larger, interconnected system — mirrors the dynamics we see inside organizations today.
In much the same way tectonic shifts shape continents, the structural, cultural, and operational shifts within companies determine how they evolve, scale, and thrive.
We apply this lens to organizational transformation:
Seeing the interdependencies between people, processes, and purpose
Understanding how strategic alignment across teams can generate momentum
And guiding leadership teams through purposeful, coordinated change
The original “Drift Club” was a quiet society inspired by Wegener’s legacy. Today, our version is a modern consultancy focused on helping companies move forward — not by force, but by design.
Because in a world shaped by movement, how you align, adapt, and evolve is everything.
