Building capability with purpose

Established in 2001, YCN (You Can Now) is a learning network. We help organisations build the capability they need to achieve their goals.

We support organisations around what we believe to be the three core drivers of organisational capability — being clear on their purpose and objectives, enriching the skills and wellbeing of their people, and connecting to partners that can accellerate progress. 

Creatively-driven, market-leading organisations build organisational capability with YCN; from big global retailers like Dr Martens and Lush Cosmetics to fast growing tech stars like Farfetch and Secret Escapes; extraordinary charities like the NSPCC and Scope to award-winning creative agencies like forpeople and Koto. And we engage throughout their teams, from the leaders at the top to their newest hires.

We build capability

We help organisations of all shapes and sizes to become more capable in pursuit of their goals.

To do this we focus on what we believe to be the three key drivers of organisational capability — People, Purpose and Partnerships. Whether through our open learning programmes, or tailored consultancy work; we love bringing together creatively-minded groups to work and learn in modern and motivating ways.
