Our Services
Our approach to the delivery of all our services is based on three key principles:
We help you to tackle immediate challenges while showing you repeatable tools and skills for the future
We provide pragmatic and comprehensive coaching and mentoring, enabling you to easily apply a step-by-step approach to implementing actions
We ensure that you have the ability to apply your new found techniques in a way that feels authentic to you
Success for us doesn’t look like a long term support to you, it’s giving you the ability to independently and incrementally build the skillsets and confidence to achieve your goals within your own business
Business strategy and operating model assessment
Is your business performing to its full potential? Have you made a great start but want to understand how to sustainably scale your business and maintain performance? Are you facing challenges but can't put your finger on what is truly driving them?
Our business strategy and operating model assessments help leadership to understand how effectively their current state aligns to key success levers, known to drive organisational high performance in a dynamic and competitive world.
We can provide full Strategy and Operating Model assessments, or more targeted assessments across our 5 dimensions:
Strategy, purpose and organisational performance measures
Market and customer value proposition
Operating model including core value streams and structures
High performance leadership and team culture
Technology and data enablement
Every assessment is supported by an assessment report that provides data and evidence driven insights, as well as tangible recommendations and areas of opportunity to enable performance optimisation.
Leadership mindset and capability development
Are your leaders fully engaged and aligned with the purpose, vision and objectives of your business? Do your leaders understand what it takes to create a high-performing, empowered culture? Are your leaders communicating effectively, honestly and openly with your people and each other?
If culture is a product of leadership and if you feel like your organisation is not unlocking the levers of high-performance, then leadership mindsets and capabilities are often the most important place to start.
Rather than your typical all-theory based leadership programmes, our development programmes and workshops actively challenge your leaders to think differently about problems, their own assumptions and their own discomforts, with the key objective of creating the clarity, empowerment and enablers for your people and business to thrive.
We work with team leads up to C-Suite with topics such as:
Define and develop authentic leadership styles, aligned to inherent strengths
Facilitation of leadership workshops align on key challenges and decisions
Identifying blockers and enablers to empowerment
Building leadership ‘superpowers’ such as inspiring and influencing, building sustainable trust, having difficult conversations, and giving and getting feedback
All of our leadership coaching is focused on helping leaders see rapid, incremental and tangible improvement through immediate practical application.
Creation and development of high performing teams
Are your teams high-performing? Are your teams even working as ‘teams’? Do your teams have a track record of high performance, or is there something lacking? Do they communicate, collaborate and work as they should – or is there conflict, drama and you see not much getting done? How are your teams led and what sort of work-practice methodologies do they follow?
Using scientifically proven techniques such as Belbin Team Roles, we can look at the team composition and assess the strengths and weaknesses of each of your workgroups, taking a deep dive into how they work – assessing and improving ways of working (such as using Agile or Lean). Finally, we can assess team culture and understand if there are the elements present that you need; things like Innovation, Continuous Improvement or Psychological Safety.
Typically, we would engage in the following:
Belbin Team Roles review (individual and team based)
A strengths and weaknesses assessment for your natural workgroups and mitigation plans, with coaching and support for Leaders
An assessment of current ways-of-working, including Agile review or Lean
A mindset and cultural review
These initial team sessions are usually a half to one day long and are great fun way to explore team and individual dynamics.
Business transformation, improvement and turnaround
Do you need to Transform your Business? Are there things you need to improve or grow – or maybe your business is needing a Turnaround? Or perhaps you’ve had success, but things need to accelerate?
Look no further - we are leaders in helping businesses transform!
After gaining a thorough understanding of the current state – only then can we determine the gaps and best focus areas. We can then build a step-by-step transformation plan, tailored for you. We are of course then here to help with Project Management and Implementation. The process can involve:
Current state analysis for your business, looking at five key dimensions; including rapid diagnostics to stabilise underperforming or struggling areas
Design and review of your desired Target State, including targets in the form of key success measures and plans to regain or restore market share or profitability
A detailed and comprehensive Transformation Roadmap, tailored to your specific needs with each element outlined, that gets you to your target state. This should include Training, revised Ways-of Working and Cultural changes
We provide ongoing Coaching and support throughout your change process, with hands-on help where needed with restructuring, cost reduction and capability building
