Our approach
Your context. Proven methods.
Customized and creative strategy.
Our job is to provoke your best thinking, spur action, help you and your team consider angles you might not have thought about before, and get traction.
You do the work. We're here as catalysts and instigators. The strategy and ensuing implementation need to be yours.
We've been through this before. We have experience as consultants and also as executives in many settings. Those perspectives bring credibility and creativity to the table.
Principles.
The imperative of being nimble in the face of constant change is not going away. We work with you to get comfortable with being uncomfortable, and good at navigating uncertainty, complexity, volatility and ambiguity.
It's about being collaborative, strategically. Leading change isn't about buy-in after the fact, it's about design-in and building internal capacity and external engagement.
We help you think around the corner, not just outside the box.
These are systems problems. Leaders need to understand the complex systems that drive results, and how to leverage the elements of those systems toward common purpose. Alignment and coherence are concepts we ask about a lot.
The model.
Identify the problem. Most organizations think they know what the problem is that they are trying to solve. In our experience, it isn't so easy.
Understand the "why". We’re good at distilling critical questions and keeping focus on what matters most.
Design the approach. Typically, our work with you will involve some data collection, development of findings and recommendations, and implementation support.
Develop an engagement strategy -- consider who needs to be involved, how, and when -- throughout.
Begin to implement.
Monitor, adjust, learn.
