Competitive advantage and organisational effectiveness does not come from how smart your organisation is but from how healthy it is.  You can have the cleverest people in the world but if you can’t engage your staff and get them working effectively together, your organisation will not deliver the results you want.

The foundation for creating a healthy organisation is having a high performing senior team.  We can work with your senior team to establish organisational clarity; clear vision, goals and strategy.  We can also support the development of a highly effective leadership team that can balance the needs of leadership and management to build an aligned, effective and healthy organisation.

Business Essentials is one of our flagship programmes that has enabled businesses across the globe to see an immediate improvement in the key financial metrics of profit and cash.  Every decision, made by every member of your staff, every day is affecting the profit and cash position of your business.  However, the chances are the majority of your staff will have little or no understanding of these two essential pillars of business success.

Business Essentials workshops enable anyone, working at any level in your organisation, to develop a working understanding of these key business principles.  During the workshop your staff will not only learn these principles but also get the opportunity to apply this learning as they run their own businesses in the dynamic ‘Going for Profits’ business simulation.  Every person will leave the workshop with the ability to bring about immediate improvement to your business’s performance.

One of the most common issues that will keep a leader awake at night is the challenge of having to achieve more for less.  Budgets are continually under challenge and the demands for performance improvement are relentless.

The key to maximising your organisation’s potential rests with your staff, not your processes.  It is your people that ultimately deliver your results, therefore maximising their engagement and thinking are critical to unlocking operational efficiency and effectiveness.

Working Smarter is a modular development programme that enables your staff to develop skills in core management approaches found in concepts such as Lean Thinking and Marginal Gains whilst working on live business improvement projects.  At the end of programme your people will present back to you their recommendations for business improvement, how their thinking and skills have developed and their commitments to embed this learning across your organisation.

Organisational life is all about relationships.  The greater the quality of the relationships across your organisation the more effective your organisation will be.

We can offer a full range of development interventions that will enhance the interpersonal skills of you and your staff.  These include effective influence, management essentials, performance management, dealing with difficult conversations, creating high performance teams, negotiation and coaching skills.

The complexity of organisational life can often leave you struggling to see the wood for the trees.  We believe that people have the resourcefulness to solve most of the problems that they face.  Sometimes though, we need help to order out thinking to enable us to find the right way forward.

We offer help on both a 1:1 basis and working with groups to enable people to work through challenging issues and to identify clear solutions.  Leaving the problem solving process to us will free up the thinking of you and your team.
