Intent Consulting was founded by Omar L. Harris — an executive leader turned culture architect who spent more than twenty years across four continents building multibillion-dollar brands and leading transformational change before codifying the methodology into a system organizations of many sizes, sectors, and geographies can deploy.
Omar L. Harris brings over twenty years of proven executive leadership experience across four continents, having built multibillion-dollar brands and led transformational change in some of the world's largest enterprises. A bestselling, award-winning author of eight books, he is one of the most sought-after voices in intentional leadership, executive development, and personal transformation.
After seeing firsthand how culture determines whether strategy succeeds or fails, Omar founded Intent Consulting to give organizations everywhere a culture operating system that meets the complexity of modern leadership — practical enough to use, rigorous enough to scale.
He pioneered the concept of the Abundance Exchange — a leadership philosophy that creates value for all stakeholders simultaneously — and is the architect of the ORI diagnostic, the WHOM character intelligence platform, the Foundational Teaming model, and the ICLS leadership development system.
Omar speaks to leadership teams, conferences, and summits on what it takes to build high-performance, collaborative cultures. His featured talk, "Collaborating for Success," turns the Intent Consulting frameworks into a galvanizing, practical message audiences can act on immediately.

Most companies treat culture as a set of disconnected initiatives — an engagement survey here, a coaching engagement there, a training program somewhere else. None of it talks to anything else. None of it compounds.
Intent Consulting exists to change that. We built the first integrated culture operating system: four pillars that diagnose, reveal, operate, and develop — designed from the ground up to feed each other.
Intent Consulting works with organizations across industries, geographies, and stages of growth — from founder-led companies to global enterprises, public institutions, and mission-driven teams. The common thread is not size; it is the need for a culture system that can travel across functions, regions, and leadership levels.
Our clients are led by executives, founders, people leaders, and transformation teams who know that culture is their competitive advantage — they just haven't found an architecture for it yet.
The way most consulting creates and shares value is broken. Intent Consulting is built on a different operating philosophy — one that moves leaders and organizations from scarcity to abundance.
Hoarding knowledge, protecting territory, limiting opportunity.
Prioritizing personal recognition over collective success.
Bossing instead of leading, controlling instead of empowering.
Leading with integrity, trust, and authenticity.
Building scalable, repeatable excellence.
Growing through connection and shared success.
Creating value that multiplies for everyone.
Working with Intent Consulting is unlike any other engagement. Expect deep expertise, practical frameworks, and genuine partnership — helping you see reality clearly while charting a path to where you want to go.
We invest time upfront to deeply understand your business context, priorities, team dynamics, and desired outcomes before proposing solutions.
We collaborate with you to customize our approach — fitting your culture, addressing your specific challenges, and leveraging your existing strengths.
We facilitate sessions that combine intellectual rigor, emotional intelligence, and practical application. Expect to be challenged, supported, and stretched.
We don't create dependency. Our goal is to build your internal capability so improvements persist long after the engagement ends. We teach you to fish.
Many clients continue with us as trusted advisors as they navigate new challenges, onboard new leaders, and pursue new strategic initiatives.
Whether you're starting with a diagnostic or ready for the full system, the first step is a conversation.
