Custom designed for you

Your situation is unique.

You don’t want cookie-cutter solutions.

We don’t offer them.

We start by understanding your situation. Then we work with you to design and prepare a solution that is right for you and your organisation: culturally, financially, and in terms of the trade-off between building capability and just getting it done.

Once we’ve co-created the right solution, we co-deliver it – helping your people where appropriate, doing it for you when that makes more sense. In most projects, there are always some unexpected things that come up. We work with you to see how best to respond to these, while staying on course to the results you want.

We help you capture additional value at the end, through an organised “harvesting” step that identifies useful tools, information, personal development and other benefits – so they don’t just fade away.

Typical Programmes

Even though your situation is unique, it might well fit a pattern we’ve seen before. Here are some examples of solutions we’ve found helpful.

Top Team Alignment

Gets your team clear and aligned around a new strategy. It isn’t “team building”, not as you probably know it. We help you and your team bring your strategy into sharp focus, so that your organisation can get into action to implement it.

Chief Strategy Office

Gives medium-size business the flexibility and closeness to the organisation of an in-house strategy team, with the broad perspective and independence of an external consulting firm.  It's a custom-designed package of facilitation, advice, analysis and support - at a fixed price. 

Rapid Organisational Change

Delivers fast organisational improvement.  We identify the critical results each part of the business needs to produce: the "magic moments" that drive revenue and results.  Then, working with key managers, we design an organisation to make that happen and drive the change programme to create that organisation quickly. 

Focus on Leadership

Builds leadership capability and alignment throughout the organisation. When you want to make a strategic shift quickly, you need to have managers throughout the business helping to make it happen. This puts the spotlight on your managers and creates the conditions for the leaders among them to step forward and lead.

Strategy Cascade

Gives your people the tools and skills they need to develop practical action plans that work. We help managers throughout your organisation clarify what your strategy means – for the organisation and for themselves. Then, our toolkit gives them a robust way to translate your strategy into workable solutions and solid plans they understand and support.
