Many organizations, especially small ones, simply have not had to think about strategy. We are here when you're ready to start.
Your Strategy Cannot be Translated into Tactics
To be achievable, a strategy must be translatable to tactical actions. Vague, wistful musings cannot be executed or delivered.
Your Strategy is Maladaptive (Cannot Respond to Change)
Many strategies apply tight constraints & ignore assumptions. They leave no room to adjust or learn. One false assumption can mean failure.
Strategy Development Workshop
a Better way to Build Strategy
Truly great strategies are simple, and answer three questions clearly for your team, company, or organization:
where will you compete?
how will you win?
how will you adapt to emergent change?
Getting to a great strategy, however, can be incredibly difficult. It requires the intelligence of your best people, hard work, constructive challenge, data that matters, and the right process. You have the people, knowledge, and data. We have the process.
Can you clearly communicate your strategy on one piece of paper? How can your people deliver on something they can't comprehend?
Your Strategy has No Outcomes or no Way to Measure Outcomes
Many strategies only paint a pretty picture. They skip the hard work of identifying real measures or outcomes. Success should not be subjective.
Your Strategy is Confusing
Even simple strategies can be assembled in ways difficult to consume or communicate. Successful execution requires understanding.
We Get You
You need a strategy that is clear, able to adapt and respond to change, easy to communicate, featuring measurable outcomes, and which your people and teams can translate into tactics to execute.
We have helped companies large and small develop and refine their strategies. We can help you to build better strategies. Clear, measurable, responsive strategies which your people and teams can translate into tactics, communicate effectively, and follow for the win.
Many strategies are (a) linear (one path with no options), and (b) built externally to be parachuted into your organization.
This. Does. Not. Work.
Build your strategy. Own it. Execute it.
Sure, it can be scary. No one to hide behind. No one to blame if it fails. The good news? You can do it. For those who are ready, we are excited to partner with you.

Every great relationship starts with a conversation.
You're seeking coaches with actual, real-world leadership and organizational experience;
You want a partner who can provide multiple offerings and work with you in multiple ways;
You're seeking evidence-based approaches, grounded in research, versus simple, case-based (ineffective) solutions which purport to solve every problem, everywhere;
You want more than a staff of new college grads who simply rebrand pre-existing PowerPoint presentations;
You want more than a representative of some software solution who sells it as the sole source of capability;
You're smart enough to know that a single framework or simple approach will not solve all your problems, and you need a partner who thinks that way, too;
You need a partner who has worked in a variety of environments in multiple domains across industries;
You Would Not Work With Us If...
You are looking for a simple, off-the-shelf response to a pervasive, challenging problem;
You want to pay a consultant, ignore them, and then blame them later (there are companies who provide precisely this service);
You just want a rebranded, 400 slide PowerPoint presentation to show you're "working the problem";
You already have the answer to your issues and you need someone to (a) lend their credibility and/or (b) implement it for you;
You do not actually want to grow, develop, or improve your people, teams, and organization;
You think growth and improvement is something everyone else needs;
You want to be able to say you're doing things differently while still just doing the same, old things;

Knowledge Transfer is not the only goal. applicability, utility, and retention are critical.
Truly effective training requires careful consideration of the applicability of training to job function and task completion, and should be delivered using experiential methods which promote the direct application of acquired knowledge in work performance. Following with routinized use, feedback, and skill enhancement ensure retention and, ultimately, defines success.
