Strategic thinking in an age of disruption
...let's explore...

Strategy

Heading 5
Agile and sophisticated approaches to strategising in a highly disrupted world.

Strategy is much more than just intelligence gathering and developing a logical plan of action.
It is also a social process of sense-making, decision-making and commitment winning. It involves not only the synthesis of intelligence but also a highly nuanced process of carefully challenging assumptions, power dynamics and territories. Professional strategising and organisation development honours this process and the people involved.
I embrace the best of strategic foresight, sweaty palmed conversations for the common good, enabling you to craft co-owned strategies and win hearts and minds, gaining commitment and alignment behind your cause.

The Strategy Space

The Strategy Space
Strategy and complexity require spaciousness. 

The Strategy Space at the Creative Studio in Cambridge UK is a private space that you can book for yourself or your senior staff to get free of the confines of organisational walls and thinking and get clear on strategic intentions.

This is a space where you can come and throw strategic questions, challenges and opportunties around with me as your thought partner. Together we will make use of all sorts of sense making tools and 'frames' selected specifically for you and your challenge.

A half day session at the studio runs from 10.30 - 15.00. This gives you time to travel, begin your escape, wide down and ease into fresh perspectives.

We have the beautiful Cambridgeshire Fen on our doorstep for a stroll and to refresh our thinking at any time in the day. Lunch can be taken next door at National Trust cafe at Anglesey Abbey, the reputable Thai restaurant in the village or a simple picnic on the Fen; If we are lucky my daughter might make us scones or soup - the choice is yours.

Strategic Intelligence
I offer traditional desk based research and strategic consultancy and increasingly work more and more in partnership with PreEmptLife, bringing the best ot Artificial Intelligence to your strategic planning. This means that at relatively low cost you can gather strategic foresight and intelligence, write strategic plans in a fraction of the time of traditional methods. Meaning you are better equipped to respond with agility to the highly disrupted world and have more time, money and energy to focus on the human element of strategy and change.

My relationship with PreEmpt began as a client, and then collaborator. Through this special relationship I am able to offer clients access to PreEmpts custom made specialist strategic planning tools.

Together we are on a mission to create a world where organisations and communities are empowered to make resilient, agile and ethically sustainable choices that raise planetary health and human well being.

I bring expertise in product management, organisational strategy. Extensive experience of designing and facilitating processes to design of co-owned strategies.
Are you, your team, and your organisation fit for the future?

Conditions of a highly disrupted world are calling for our very best individual and collective thinking.
 
I use a variety of tools and techniques to design and facilitate workshops that create co-owned strategies. From small executive teams to large group gatherings of stakeholders we work together to create the conditions where everyone can contribute, take ownership and do their very best work.

 
  • Lean into the opportunities and challenges of a highly disrupted world and harness the collective wisdom of the group.
  • Identify areas of agreement and disagreement and resolve these to achieve alignment
  • Conversations to enliven strategic dialogue and quality of problem solving and decision making

  • Creative workshops to generate meaningful company visions and missions founded on strong purpose and values
