Consulting
What We Do
Our consulting services are pragmatic and tailored to the specific needs of each client situation.
We provide facilitation of all aspects of strategy management from designing and running annual strategy retreats through to developing innovative new monthly performance reporting and enhanced executive performance review meetings. We integrate the best of global management tools such as Blue Ocean thinking, Co-Creation Strategy Development, Beyond Budgeting approaches and Balanced Scorecard to seamlessly enhance the end to end strategy management process.
We blend these 'best of breed' processes with our own unique intellectual property in areas such as the integration of strategy and risk, and the development of insightful performance analyis visualisation techniques.
We are not afraid to challenge current management thinking in order to release the potential within the client organisation. Below are some of the key areas where we operate.
Developing Disruptive Strategies
Today's organisations must evolve or die. Doing what you've always done, in the way you've always done it, is a recipe for extinction. 'Disruptive strategies' are affecting every industry from digital cameras to scrap metal. Annual planning processes need to address strategic innovation at all levels in the business.
Providing Performance Analysis Insights
Executives need rapid feedback on business performance. Feedback must provide insights into emerging issues and opportunities - allowing management's time to focus on developing business solutions, rather than searching for the problem itself. New approaches to information and report design, based on 'key business questions' allows critical insights into the areas that affect business success.
Upgrading Leadership Capabilities
Ultimately, all business success is driven by people. Creating the right leadership teams, imbued with the skills and attitudes to motivate performance, is a key challenge for most organisations. Our approaches to achieving leadership behavioural change include ongoing training and monitoring as well as working with human resource teams to design HR management processes in areas such as succession planning and performance rewards.
