People produce performance. We work on the people.
About
About us
Living Templates is a training, coaching and consulting practice built around a single conviction — organizational results are produced by human beings, and the quality of those results is bounded by the quality of how those human beings think, act, relate and take responsibility.
WHO WE ARE
Living Templates works with organizations to improve the quality of the people behind their performance. We work across six interconnected capability areas — brought together as the IMPACT Capability Framework — with individual contributors, supervisors, managers, senior managers and executive teams.
Our engagements range from single focused sessions to multi-session development journeys and ongoing organizational partnerships.
WHAT WE ARE NOT
We are not a generic training vendor delivering standardized modules regardless of context. We do not treat learning as an event that ends when the session ends. And we do not claim that a single workshop, however well delivered, will resolve deep-seated organizational or cultural issues on its own.
Our approach is built around diagnosis, targeted intervention, practice and follow-through — because that’s what the evidence on adult learning and behavioural change actually supports.
THE MEANING BEHIND "LIVING TEMPLATES"
People are shaped by patterns — the habits, mindsets, principles and models they absorb and repeat, often without noticing. Organizations, in turn, are shaped by the people inside them. A living template is a person who has become a working example: of excellence, responsibility, sound judgment, maturity, and the ability to work well with others — not as an abstraction, but as a pattern other people can see and, eventually, repeat.
That’s the commercial proposition underneath the name. When we develop a manager’s judgment or a team’s ability to disagree constructively, we’re not just running a session — we’re shaping the pattern that person carries back into the organization, and that others start to follow.
our point of view on people & performance
The Capability Layer of Performance
Most organizations invest heavily in strategy, systems and structure, and comparatively little in the underlying quality of the people who must run those systems day to day. When performance breaks down, the cause is rarely a missing process — it’s usually a person who didn’t think a problem through carefully, a manager who avoided a difficult conversation, or a team that couldn’t resolve a disagreement.
People → Capability → Behaviour → Performance → Organizational Impact
Improving this layer isn’t about making people more knowledgeable for its own sake. It’s about improving how people think, how they conduct themselves, how they work with others, and how reliably they turn responsibility into results.

Personal Note
A personal note: Olamide is also a Bible teacher, committed to helping people develop strong character and live with clear purpose. This personal conviction — that who a person becomes shapes the quality of what they’re able to contribute — informs his broader approach, while the corporate work itself remains organization-focused and accessible to people of any or no religious affiliation.
