What We Do
Define vision
Changing the world starts with a clearly articulated and actionable vision, one that is blazingly apparent to all stakeholders and the world at large. We’ll ask questions—sometimes difficult and uncomfortable questions—to help you uncover your organization’s true potential.
Sharpen strategy
A vision without strategy is just words. An effective strategy is multi-faceted and will likely encompass many aspects of your organization. Let our experience starting and running complex organizations guide you as you sharpen your strategy and bring your vision to life. Together we will consider governance, financial, and operational frameworks and deepen stakeholder relationships along the way.
Lead inclusively
If people aren’t heard, they won't be on board. And you'll miss essential insights. We’ll guide you through the process of identifying and engaging your key stakeholders—internal and external—and ensuring they are part of shaping the vision. Yes, an inclusive process takes more time than a unilateral decree, but effective alignment will motivate and energize every level of your organization. And it will get you the results you want.
Embrace challenges
The threats can be existential, and the distractions unrelenting. That isn’t going away. Accept it. Better yet, embrace it. With empathy, decades of experience, and intense curiosity, we’ll help you cut through the noise—because we know firsthand how any obstacle can be an open door to previously unimagined possibilities. Let us help you discover a bigger picture—and a wider range of movement—than you thought you had.
Amplify capacity
Great ideas and no capacity to realize them? If deliverables are bearing down, or you’re facing a critical leadership transition, we can step in to get you to the next stage. The fractional and interim executive models are increasingly popular because many organizations have needs that can’t wait for the completion of a lengthy executive search process. Plus, we can stick around to help you on-board your permanent leadership and provide a more effective and supportive experience.
Executives often need an experienced partner – someone outside their organization to advise on approaches to challenges, serve as a sounding board for strategic thinking, and provide a non-judgmental confidential thought partner for issues large and small. With open ended questions and practical authentic application our goal is to help executives address those things that keep them up at night. Everyone needs their sleep!
