About Us

About Us

Code-Switch is a collaboration of researchers, consultancy, industry and change delivery specialists, combining multiple expertise and perspectives to improve outcomes for our clients.

Code-Switch is a term used in linguistics to describe the phenomenon in which speakers of more than one language switch between languages within the same conversation.

At Code-Switch Consultants, PhD and postdoctoral researchers code-switch between the languages of research and business within the context of a consultancy assignment. As skilled academic researchers, Code-Switch consultants develop innovative evidence-based solutions to specific real-world problems and communicate these in the client’s language.

Our Mission

Our mission is to facilitate researcher career progression, break down barriers between the culture and language of research and industry, improve society, the economy and academia through collaboration, innovation and impact. We achieve this through:

• The provision of practical, MBA-style consultancy projects focused on the development of sought-after industry skills, equipping researchers to ‘code-switch’ between academia and business; and
• Harnessing the unique skills of PhD and postdoctoral researchers to deliver impactful benefits into businesses and organisations.
