Strategy has to work at three levels: the business, the leader, and the team. These examples show what changed when we worked across all three.
The Business
Helping a new sales leader build a strategy she could defend
Building a new growth function in 12 weeks
The challenge
A newly appointed sales leader needed a strategy that would hold up in front of the board. Not a deck built by consultants.
The work
We tested the logic, sharpened the choices, and prepared for the board’s hardest questions.
The outcome
She presented it in her own voice and left with a mandate to lead the work.
The challenge
A new growth function had been chartered but not yet built. No operating model, no priorities.
The work
Over 12 weeks we defined the mandate, designed the operating model, and sequenced the first priorities.
The outcome
The team could begin delivering, and senior leaders understood what to expect from it.
The Team
Turning a leadership team’s discussion into action
The challenge
A leadership team was long on discussion and short on momentum.
The work
An art-based exercise surfaced the issues they had been circling but never resolved.
The outcome
They left with a shared view of what needed to change, and the momentum to act on it.
The Leader
Coaching a senior leader through a major career decision
Supporting a legal leader and her team through a transition
The challenge
A high-performing director was weighing a career move that raised questions about her ambition and identity.
The work
We worked through the practical requirements and the personal tradeoffs.
The outcome
She made the decision with clear reasons and the confidence to move forward.
The challenge
A Deputy General Counsel was stepping into a larger role while her team absorbed the change. Two transitions at once.
The work
We coached the leader into the larger role and helped the team adjust to new ways of working.
The outcome
She stepped into the broader mandate while the team aligned around clearer expectations.
“I came in skeptical about the art part, and left with the clearest picture I’ve had of what our team actually needs to do differently.”
