About Durham Consulting Group

We help organizations solve complex people challenges by treating your business like our own.

Durham Consulting Group (DCG) partners with leaders to strengthen employee development, improve employee experience, enhance organizational effectiveness, and build intentional talent strategies that support sustainable performance. When people problems stand in the way of progress, we help organizations gain clarity, build capability, and move forward with confidence.

How We Work

We work as true partners with our clients—taking the time to understand their organization, people, and priorities before offering solutions. Our approach is grounded in deep listening, thoughtful diagnosis, and shared ownership of outcomes.


We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all frameworks or surface-level fixes. Instead, we design practical, people-centered solutions that fit the realities of your organization and support meaningful, lasting change.

What We Believe

We believe organizations perform at their best when people are clear, capable, and supported—and when leaders take responsibility not just for results, but for how those results are achieved. People challenges are business challenges, and they deserve strategic, intentional solutions.


This belief guides how we partner with clients and shapes every engagement.

Who We Partner With

We partner with organizations and leaders who are ready to move beyond surface-level fixes and invest in meaningful improvement. Our clients value collaboration, clarity, and outcomes—and they want a partner who will both challenge assumptions and respect the people doing the work.


If you’re looking for quick fixes or off-the-shelf answers, we may not be the right fit. If you’re ready to address people challenges at the root, we are.

Leadership

Laura Durham

Founder | Principal Consultant

I partner with leaders who are committed to strengthening their organizations by facing people challenges head-on—not just checking a box. I bring a strategic perspective grounded in real-world problem solving and a belief that every organization has the potential to become clearer, more aligned, and more capable when the right systems and practices are in place.


I’m often called in when teams need structure and impact—when talent strategies feel transactional, engagement feels elusive, or internal initiatives run out of steam before delivering results. My work focuses on transforming intent into action by designing practical solutions that align talent, process, and culture to create sustainable outcomes.


My approach blends thoughtful analysis, deep listening, and collaborative design. I work with leaders to uncover what’s truly keeping their people from thriving and to build strategies that fit their context, capabilities, and goals. Whether improving employee experience, strengthening development pathways, or increasing organizational effectiveness, I help leaders create systems that support both people and performance.



Over years of working across industries, I’ve seen that the most successful organizations are those that don’t shy away from complexity. They invest in understanding their challenges and in building solutions that stick. I help make that investment count—by turning ambiguity into clarity, frustration into focus, and strategy into ongoing impact.

Regan Durham

Co-Founder | Principal Consultant

I partner with leaders who are ready to address people challenges at the root—not just manage symptoms. I treat every client’s organization like my own, working alongside leaders with care, honesty, and a strong sense of ownership to build solutions that truly work.


I’m known for helping organizations move from misalignment and frustration to clarity and momentum—especially when leadership development, employee experience, or organizational systems aren’t producing the results leaders expect. Clients often come to me when well-intended initiatives have stalled, engagement is slipping, or change feels harder than it should.


My work focuses on uncovering what’s really getting in the way of performance and designing practical, people-centered solutions that fit the reality of the organization. I blend data, experience, and deep listening to diagnose challenges and build strategies that leaders and employees can actually sustain. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all frameworks—every organization deserves solutions built for its culture, constraints, and goals.


Over the past decade, I’ve led organization-wide development and change initiatives within complex institutions, designing leadership and talent programs that deliver measurable results, including increased promotion and retention rates, improved engagement, and nationally recognized development programs.



I do this work because organizations work best when people are clear, supported, and trusted. When leaders invest intentionally in their people and systems, performance follows—and work becomes a place where individuals and organizations can thrive together.

Together, we bring over a decade of experience partnering with complex organizations to strengthen leadership, improve employee experience, align talent strategies, and enhance organizational performance. Our work has supported measurable outcomes including improved engagement, stronger internal pipelines, and sustainable people practices that support long-term success.

If you’re looking for partners who will take your people challenges seriously and work alongside you to solve them, we’d welcome the conversation.
