STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT

Design the future collaboratively

​

Boards and executive leadership teams have a responsibility to set the direction of their organisation. Sometimes there is a need to bring people involved into alignment - so their is a common vision and understanding of the direction being pursued. Other times, it might be the prioritisation of strategic initiatives that will yield great value - or the preparation of a plan to influence those who can assist in advancing the cause of the organisation.

​

Having an independent adviser working alongside your board or leadership team can bring deep analytical thinking, clarity, and momentum to your strategic planning effort.

​

How: Our strategy development services are tailored to the priorities and timelines of your team. You may want assistance for one strategy planning workshop - or a partner to work alongside you periodically as you traverse the strategic planning process over many months.

​

Start by booking a free phone call to discuss your strategic planning needs.

INDEPENDENT REVIEWS & EVALUATIONS

The value of a second opinion

​

Sometimes a leader just knows when things are not as good as they should be. Staff, teams, and entire organisations can slip into a rut - and meanwhile the rest of the world is moving ahead. Periodically, it's wise to review programs, to evaluate outcomes against objectives, to embrace best practice - and aspire to something better.

​

Calling in an independent third party to work with you to review and evaluate your programs, structures or strategies can provide a leader with the powerful external and objective advice needed to make hard changes.

 

How: Our independent review and evaluation service is customised based on the complexity of your situation. Understanding key organisational sensitivities, we can work diplomatically and professionally to bring a balanced and helpful perspective - including realistic recommendations preapred in close consultation with you.

 

Start by booking a free phone call to help scope the parameters of the review needed.

ISSUE RESOLUTION STRATEGIES

Helping leaders to clear obstacles

​

Sometimes when your organisation is so immersed in a problem, it’s impossible for leaders to get the impartial distance required to truly understand what action is required to solve it. Calling on the independent advice of a neutral third party can provide the sounding board, impartiality, and external expertise leaders need in order to gain clarity on what needs to be done next.

 

How: Our issue resolution service is a bespoke solution to your organisational challenge. It might involve a quick review of key documents, interviews with staff and stakeholders, and the preparation of an action-oriented report. Or perhaps a facilitated workshop that brings all your key decision-makers together to actively work on the problem will be the quickest way to gain insight and progress.
