Organisational Development

Strategy alignment, change management, leadership development, culture and performance work for organisations that need to restructure without losing momentum.

The problem

The strategy is not usually the problem. The structure carrying it is.

We help clients build resilient and efficient organisations by aligning people strategy with business goals.

We deliver through consulting, coaching, training and facilitation. Which of those you need is a conclusion of the diagnostic.

What we do

Seven areas, taken up in the order the diagnostic indicates.

Strategic planning and alignment

Translating strategy into structure, priorities and a few agreed measures.

Consulting

Change management

Sequencing a transformation and managing the resistance it produces.

Consulting · Coaching

Leadership development

Focused on the decisions leaders are actually being asked to make.

Coaching · Training

Team effectiveness

How a team decides, disagrees and holds each other to commitments.

Facilitation

Culture assessment

The culture that exists, measured against what the strategy requires.

Diagnostic

Performance management

Fewer measures, clearer standards, conversations that reach a conclusion.

Training

Inclusion initiatives

How people are recruited, promoted and heard.

Facilitation

Signs

Five things clients describe before they call.

Together they usually mean the structure has been outgrown rather than mismanaged.

Every decision comes back to one person.

Authority has not been delegated in practice.

We restructured last year and nothing changed.

Roles moved, but decision rights did not.

Good people keep leaving quietly.

Usually a management issue before a pay issue.

Appraisals happen, and nothing follows.

A process that produces paperwork, not decisions.

Process

Diagnose first. A few weeks, then a decision.

Scoping

What problem is being solved, and what counts as resolved.

Diagnostic

Interviews, document review and, where useful, a survey.

Findings and options

Two or three options, with what each would cost.

Delivery

Implemented against agreed milestones.

Handover

Frameworks and training so you can run it without us.
