Consulting
Where are you now?
Where do you want to be?
What do you need next?
Is it a focus on strategy? Clarity on your vision and mission?
Understanding your environment? Market analysis? Customers or competitors?
Perhaps its a strategic change programme or bringing your people together to strategise and work together to define purpose, increase impact, and nurture the
cultural patterns necessary for business success.
Whatever it is, I come alongside you, listen, and ask questions to understand
both where you are now, and where you want to be.
Together we co-design a programme of work unique to your needs.
I combine my professional experience as a strategist and organisation practitioner with with my own powers of intuition, creativity and playfulness to inject fresh ideas and possible ways forward.

Strategy
Flexible, adaptable and agile approaches to gathering strategic intelligence,
sense-making and decision-making are now essential in prioritising rapid-response
to disruptions, addressing decreasing margins and fostering a culture
of continuous learning and innovation.
Strategies that focus on embracing non-linearity, building resilience and enhancing comprehension through the latest sense-making tools and frames are incredibly useful
in navigating todays's world.
Gone are the days of whole departments taking a year to craft a five year strategy that is immediately out of date. (Been there done that!).
I am here to walk with you on your journey as far as you need me;
from gathering strategic intelligence via specialist AI tools, designing and facilitaitng sense/decsion-making workshops utilising dialogic approaches and
harnassing commitment of key stakeholders, to leading on implementation.
I use a variety of tried and tested strategic frames and state of the art AI tools
along with human centric dialogic approaches to bring together the
very best of machine and human intelligence.
Together we design programmes of work that fit your needs and budget.
“Culture eats strategy for breakfast”
Peter Drucker
Culture Change
Thriving people = thriving organisations = a world of potential
Peter Drucker famously said " Culture eats strategy for breakfast".
High performance and human-centric leadership are inextricably linked.
Sustainable, high performing organisations thrive because of high levels of psychological safety, trust, inclusion, and high levels of care and challenge amongst their people.
I experienced the ever deepening truth of this when I set out on the road of strategic consultancy. It was soon plain to see, that in order to service clients
and help them make their desired contribution to the world
that I needed to upskill and do my own inner work too.
Delving deep into systemic work and family constellations to explore these topics
was both tough and continuously rewarding.
I know from my own experience and plentiful global research from pioneers,
that attempting culture change work on your own is hard. Whether it is as an individual or leading change in the community or at work, you are part of a complex system and labyrinth of cultural norms, rules, behaviours, and assumptions.
Trying to affect change from the inside alone can consume vast amounts of energy and resource, and leave you exposed to your own blind spots.
Equally, those appealing, shiny, off-the-shelf solutions just won't deliver in the long-term, simply because they absolve you of doing the work required.
I partner with you in an adult-to-adult capacity;
being fully ‘in-it’ and alongside you as 'we do the work' together.
My colleagues at Lacerta Consulting have a beautiful way of describing it;
moving with you; "dancing on the edge of 'support and challenge',
'inclusion and exclusion', 'same and difference".
I use a variety of generative tools to help you determine what it is that you want more off and work alongside you to nurture the conditions necessary for success.
