Most organisations start out with a clear vision and core purpose. Yet, overtime, that clarity often disappears into the rearview mirror. Eventually, work is reduced to 'just what we do' — and that ripples out throughout your workforce; eroding engagement, quality, innovation, and driving burnout. Our 'Purpose Intensive' process offers a structured yet heart-based approach to rekindling the passion and purpose of your organisation which, in turn, cascades throughout your organisation.

Our Approach

• Purpose Intensive: A bespoke, six-month dialogue-based process, collaboratively led by the Chair and CEO, alongside Boards and C-Suite. This intensive engagement is designed to reveal the overarching pattern of your organisation and rediscover, reimagine, and revitalise 'why you do what you do' and 'for whom'. 

  Key Questions Explored:

  • Why do you exist? What is the ‘Source’ of your organisation?
  • What is the overarching pattern of your organisation, and is it evolving?
  • What customer needs are you satisfying, and what value are you creating?
  • What is emerging on the horizon, and how can you prepare for a spectrum of likely and unlikely futures?

Real-World Outcomes

• Enhanced Organisational Alignment: Achieve a deep alignment within your leadership on the core purpose and strategic direction, ensuring every decision supports the overarching vision.
• Clarity and Commitment: Foster a strong sense of identity and commitment across your organisation, driving performance and engagement.
• Future-Readiness: Equip your organisation to anticipate and adapt to future challenges and opportunities, ensuring sustainability and relevance in a rapidly changing world.

Every organisation operates within an ecosystem of relationships and market dynamics. Failing to accurately read your environment risks being blindsided. Survival requires adapting to market shifts in time, and thriving is best achieved by actively shaping your environment to your advantage.

OUR APPROACH

• Our Patterns of Strategy Facilitation — a set of four half-day workshops designed using the systemic approach to strategic management developed by Patrick Hoverstadt and Lucy Loh.

Online or in person, these sessions equip you with the tools to:

• Decode Strategic Fit: Discover how aligning with stakeholders shapes your strategic direction, enhancing your influence and control over business outcomes.
• Explore Systemic Interactions: Examine the nature of your relationships within the market ecosystem, including competitors and other key players.
• Design Strategic Maneuvers: Craft alternative strategic maneuvers that shift these relationships to your advantage, leveraging the design of fit, use of time, and power dynamics.

REAL-WORLD OUTCOMES

By the end of the workshops, you will have a clear understanding of:

• Your Unique Delivery: How your organisation can uniquely fulfil its purpose and meet customer needs.
• Strategic Dimensions: Mastery over your strategic dimensions—fit, timing, and power—to craft a proactive rather than reactive strategy.
• Desired Positioning: What position you currently occupy, where you aim to be, and the strategic plays required to get there.

Secure your place in our next Patterns of Strategy workshops and equip your leadership with the tools and know-how to anticipate, shape, and capitalise on emerging opportunities.

As your organisation evolves, so must its culture. The right culture not only enhances performance but also aligns behaviors with strategic objectives. Without this cultural alignment, organisations risk drifting from the mission and employee disengagement.

• Cultural Symbols: Evaluating the stories and symbols that embody your organisation's values and purpose.
• Alignment and Commitment: Examining the presence of common direction, alignment in processes, and commitment to sustainability and goals.

Mediation/Conflict Resolution: This bespoke service assists executives and senior leaders in addressing and resolving relationship ruptures that affect team or business performance. Our facilitation focuses on:

• Ownership: Acknowledging individual contributions to conflicts.
• Understanding: Actively listening and reflecting on differing perspectives.

Is your governance robust enough to withstand both predictable and unexpected business challenges? High-profile corporate failures have shown that even the strongest entities can falter without adaptive governance structures. Are your systems prepared to manage evolving risks and regulations?

Our Approach

Governance Review: Our bespoke Governance Review service is assists Boards and C-suite leaders in conducting a comprehensive analysis of your organisation's governance mechanisms. This evaluation focuses on several pivotal areas:

• Purpose and Performance Alignment: Does your organisation's conduct reflect its stated purpose? We scrutinise how well your objectives align with your operational actions.
• Decision-Making and Risk Management: We examine the robustness and ethical grounding of your decision-making and risk management practices.

• Performance Metrics: Are you measuring what truly matters? Our review refines your performance metrics to ensure they capture both qualitative and quantitative aspects of your strategic goals.

Informed by the lessons learned from widespread corporate collapses and scandals, our review emphasises that effective governance extends beyond mere compliance. It demands a keen focus on the culture, ethics, and responsibility.

Real World Outcomes

Engaging in our Governance Review will deliver:

• Strengthened Governance Frameworks: Craft governance structures that are not only compliant but also flexible enough to adapt to new challenges.
• Enhanced Ethical Decision-Making: Cultivate a decision-making environment that prioritises ethics, reducing the likelihood of governance failures.
