Strategy
Heading 5
This highly disrupted, complex world requires agile and sophisticated approaches to strategising.
Strategy is much more than just intelligence gathering and developing a logical plan of action.
Its 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.
We embrace sweaty palmed conversations for the common good, and aim to win hearts and minds, gaining commitment and alignment behind the cause.
I offer a range of services designed to support this process:
-
AI driven strategic intelligence gathering; market analysis, strategic foresight
-
Traditional desk based research and analysis
-
Expertise in product management and organisational strategy
-
Designed and facilitated processes to create co-owned strategies
-
Workshops to help boards and stakeholders to enliven their 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
-
Programme management of complex change programmes
-
And a private space - The Strategy Space where you can and your team can come and throw your strategic challenges and opportunities around with me as your thought partner.
-
I work collaboratively with organisations such as Lacerta Consulting and PreEmpt meaning that I am able to work at scale and offer your the very latest in strategic tools and impactful techniques

The Strategy Space
Strategy and complexity require spaciousness.
The Strategy Space at the Creative Studio 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.

Through this special relationship I am able to offer clients access to PreEmpts custom made specialist strategic planning tools.
