We are a practice that specialises
in the development of strategic thinking, leadership teams,
and leadership skills at board, CEO and executive level.
Having a clear company vision, clear business objectives and a defined culture as well as a highly effective executive group has proven to lead to long-term sustainable performance. No other factors have such a strong impact on future profitability.
The focus of our work is developing the strategic thinking
skills and leadership practices that support you in implementing
strategy and managing change yourselves.
Facilitating strategic thinking
What do we aim for when facilitating strategic thinking within a company? Firstly, it is for leadership teams to agree and share a company vision that also engages and enthuses all staff. It is also to develop an implementation programme to achieve the vision whilst managing business as usual. And, thirdly, it is to support individual leaders to adjust their thinking and behaviour to the new way of doing things to ensure the anticipated benefits are delivered.
We use the Strategic Change Model that takes you from creating a vision to implementing strategy. This enables you to plan what needs to happen in order to achieve the business objectives required.
Developing leadership skills and practices
Research shows that the make-up and effective working of the senior leadership group is the strongest predictor of profitability (43% compared with 12% as the next most significant factor in the business). When the organisation and its strategy changes, you, as individual leaders, may need to alter your thinking and behaviour to deliver the planned objectives and benefits.
We help you to achieve this through an approach to leadership development that combines leadership training away from the office with learning in situ. As part of this process, we implement executive coaching on specific leadership behaviours and coaching of the group to act as a leadership team. The ultimate aim is to ensure behaviour changes fit with changes in the strategy and operation of the business.

Increasing your capacity to think incisively
Our research shows that CEO's and leaders need to have the
ability to think intuitively and rationally - what we call
'thinking incisively'. On moving into a leadership role, many
managers are required to change the way they think - to conceptualise
and create vision for others and to handle ambiguity as well
as know exactly the issue that needs most attention right
now. This ability to think incisively can be developed and
enhanced, individually and within a team. We have specific
Incisive Thinking programmes which are delivered at our office
and which are further customised for implementation in your
own workplace.
