Strategy Consulting
Legendary management consultant Peter Drucker once said: ‘culture eats strategy for breakfast.’
Taken literally this quote appears to imply organisations are faced with an either/or choice–preference culture or strategy.
Yet taken in context, Drucker’s statement shines a clear light on the inter-dependency of strategy and culture. To which we would also add leadership.
In short, for organisations to grow, prosper, and deliver greater value for and with all stakeholders, they must have a clear and robust strategy aligned with the culture and leadership capability and capacity to successfully execute it.
This interdependent reality sits at the core of our integrated approach to working with clients on Strategy & Strategy Execution. And it all starts with listening, deeply.
Gaining a thorough understanding of you, your people, your business, and the context in which you operate. Getting clear on the specific outcomes you’re seeking, as well as your larger vision and aspirations for the future.
Understanding and clarity, which combined with our expertise and frameworks, enable fresh insights and new perspectives that together we turn into executable strategy that works. Strategy that is uniquely aligned to your capability, capacity, desired outcomes, and future aspirations.
Precisely how we do this is always customised to your unique circumstances, needs and requirements. We can partner with you from blank canvas to final execution (we love doing this) or you can enlist our support for specific strategic elements such as:
- Working with key stakeholders (Board, Executive, Owners) to refresh organisational strategy.
- Clarifying and embedding organisation Purpose (the ‘why’), Principles and Behaviours –key pillars that underpin culture, leadership, and strategic intent.
- Market and/or Client expansion or diversification projects leading to go-to-market or go/no go decisions
- Providing insight to individual and team dynamics as they relate to strategy execution and business outcomes–unpacking at a deep level what’s getting in the way of success and co-creating solutions that removes blockages and realise potential.
- Facilitating the creation and refinement of high-level People, Culture and Capability, or Leadership Development Plans (blueprints).
