Events, away days & facilitation
Leadership Retreats & Strategy Workshops
Leadership groups need time away from the usual agenda, to reconnect and decide what matters next. We help leadership teams and project groups refresh their practical thinking. Our sessions are collaborative, pragmatically minimalist and emergent. We start by finding out what you want, then include only what will prompt progress.
When this is useful
Step back from operational pressure
Make sense of change or uncertainty
Clarify direction
Reconnect as a leadership team
Work through competing priorities
Turn discussion into decisions
Align around a strategy, project or transition
Practise the conversations that matter
Make better use of the knowledge in the room
Leave with actions people will actually take
Strategy as a live conversation
Strategy focuses on what matters, what is changing, what is possible and what people are prepared to do.
Our strategy workshops give people enough structure to think well, with enough freedom to notice what is emerging.
We bring tools from facilitation, Applied Improvisation and Solutions Focus to help the group work with what is already there: experience, knowledge, tension, aspiration and signs of progress.
Example
KPMG Insight Centre
For business strategy creation, we’ve been working alongside the Insight Centre team at KPMG, refining the details of what each Insight Centre will offer to its clients. That means working out how best to position the expertise of partners, managers and subject specialists, so that the capabilities of big data analysis are clearly presented and wisely applied.
What people leave with
A clearer shared picture of the current situation
Better understanding of each other’s priorities
Sharper questions and stronger participation
Agreed next steps
