Strategy Services
“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” – Theodore Roosevelt
Approach to strategy
I believe that you know about your business or organisation, you are the expert in your space, and I have questions that can unlock value. I work with you to find the solutions that are unique to your business, helping you and your team make sense of it for yourselves. I have a very robust strategic model that I have been using successfully with over 600 entrepreneurs and NGOs. I facilitate a process that taps into what you know, as opposed to telling you what to do. Of course, I also bring 25 years of learning with organisations that inform the questions.
Strategy Facilitation
The pain: your team is all over the place – the plan is not clear and things have changed so much recently that you are not quite sure where you are headed.
When you are a growing organisation, making strategic decisions can be really difficult. Using a proven strategic process, facilitated by an experienced facilitator, can be a powerful way to clarify what results you want.
Working with your team or management team on the direction of the business is a powerful way to clarify what you need to focus on to thrive. You and your team work together to answer key strategic questions that assist you to understand what is important and where the gaps may be. This allows you to create clear priorities that will drive the organisation forward, working towards results that everyone understands.
It’s a very potent process and an amazing way to get a team aligned and working together on the outcomes required to succeed. In 25 years of working like this, it’s been amazing to witness teams getting excited about what is possible for the organisation and engaging fully to make it happen.
Strategic Coaching
The Pain: You are struggling to work out what to focus on, what is important and how you can move forward. You are stuck and frustrated and possibly overwhelmed…
This is an opportunity to work on key issues that are keeping you from growing to the next level. Many organisations get stuck in a time trap, not having enough time to work ON the business, because you are stuck working IN the business. This process helps you identify what key tasks to work on to free up your time to level up by reducing the overwhelm and the busyness, so you can think properly. This allows you to focus on the decisions that move you forward successfully.
Attention, focus and clarity allow you to navigate the day-to-day and stay on track to achieving your longer term goals.
Organisational Development
The pain: your team is all over the place and you are not quite sure why. You would like them more aligned and better organised. Often this occurs as conflict, friction or poor communication.
I work with you and your team to find solutions. As organisations grow, what worked for 5 people does not work for 15; what worked for 15 does not work for 30. Different ways of operating are required regarding systems, communication and roles. I work with you and your team to find sustainable solutions that allow you to develop your organisation and grow with your team.
