Organizational Development
Success brings growth, growth brings complexity and complexity can disrupt cultures.
Intro
Optimize organizational design and modelling to outperform competitors
Driven by the unrelenting, accelerating pace of change, the importance of organizational development has grown in recent years to become one of the most critical practices an organization needs to embrace to maintain levels of performance and achieve goals.
​
A high-performing organization follows a clear path on how it intends to create competitive advantage and sustain it. Creating and protecting competitive advantage through organizational development requires deep exploration and an understanding of core values, beliefs and culture.

Management System Design

Intro
Define management systems that drive organizational performance, create value and endure
Management systems need to create sustainable value for multiple stakeholders – employees, suppliers, partners, society and the environment. To achieve this, successful leaders need to take the role of ‘architect'; designing systems that drive organizational performance and create long-lasting results. Approaches often fail as they only address short-term issues or are focused on individual components rather than taking a total systems holistic perspective.
My techniques design high-performing, future oriented management systems by fully understanding the needs and perspectives of diverse stakeholders and teams.
This might hurt! Stepping outside of our safe zones can be uncomfortable.
I will be your objective sparring partner, and through constructive interrogation we will identify what is working well, surface tensions and issues, and realize future scenarios or improvements.

Agile Management System Implementation
Agile is a way of thinking for collaborative problem-solving that drives customer centricity. In today’s world, adopting a system that allows you to respond to inevitable change and uncertainty without delay or impacting delivery makes good business sense. I help you find and implement the right agile framework, or combination of structures, that meet your specific needs so that your management system is fit for purpose; flexible, efficient, transparent, capable of producing higher quality output.

Transition Management
‘Companies that take
the time to identify and
shift deep-seated
mindsets were 4x more
likely to rate their
change programs as
“successful”.’
McKinsey Quarterly Transformational Change Survey, 2010
Intro
Address the psychological readjustment of transition for the sustainability of change.
Leading change is challenging. Leaders face difficult choices, trade-off’s, conflicting priorities, new ways of working, and the need to take risks. Organisations don’t change. People change. The effectiveness of change lies in the hands of the people leading and undertaking the change.
A transition is the reorientation people need to make in response to the change. Transition is a flow from one state to the next. Each transition needs clear steering and interventions for successful outcomes. Transition is systemic, whether we like it or not. We manage transition across four working streams:
• Intention, Strategy, Business Model
• Digital Architecture & Organizational Setup
• Culture Games & Narratives
• Legacy Handling & Capabilities
Transition management is not a ‘nice to have’. The psychological readjustment to change is of paramount importance to ensure the sustainability of change. My transition management techniques focus on reorientation - psychological, structural and procedural readjustment in response to change. We identify where people are now in their psychological change journey and define ways in which to mobilize stakeholders during transition.

Leadership Team Building
Human connections underpin the role of future leaders, and the survival and success of organizations in the post-digital age.
Intro
Create high-performing leadership team systems.
Most Leadership teams come together by default. Differences amongst teams are necessary, much like a sports team: you wouldn’t select a football team with eleven goalkeepers. Issues can surface when leaders - find themselves in the same room suddenly trying to play the same game; a game they need to identify and work out how to play together. Leaders shape a company’s future. It is essential that they work well enough together to deal with whatever their organisation faces.
My approach focuses on engaging leaders to drive progress and innovation that helps elevate organisational competitiveness. We focus on team performance rather than individual contributions, creating a high-performing leadership team system. As leaders you will be challenged in a safe environment, improve communication within groups, and work together to open up the social gates for better problem-solving.

Executive Coaching
‘We cannot
change what
we are not
aware of.’
Sheryl Sandberg
Intro
Boost self-awareness and confidence to build your strategy and impact as a leader.
It’s not easy to see ourselves properly and this can have a significant effect on our ability to lead and manage effectively. Executive coaching helps us to truly see who we are and get back in touch with the best of ourselves; to refocus and reset.
Welcome to the room of reflecting. Within a safe and trusted environment, we gain perspective to discover solutions and actions together that will build your strategy and impact as a leader. We explore ways to navigate political turbulence in order to embrace politics positively, understand ways to deal with organizational complexity and drive better-decision making.
My approach builds greater self-awareness and an increase in self-confidence through the process of personal exploration. This can have a profound effect on improving performance, targets and goals, and enable you to bring more of yourself into the workplace.
