Our Expertise
Our strategy execution experts bring to you the facilitation
skills, training, coaching and tools needed to create an integrated
environment for managing your product strategy and product development
projects so that it results in the right products delivered to
the market the most productive way.
Our consulting services fall into 3 major categories which are
closely interlinked. While many of our consultants cross these
categories, they also specialize in certain areas. To maximize
your ROI in working with us, we use individual and team consulting
approaches, matching our consultant selection with the needs
of your business.
We build our consulting services on the three pillars that provide
the meaning and means for people in your organization to come
together to deliver results: Clarity of Intent, Integrated Effort,
and Inspiration.
Strategy Development and Alignment (Clarity of Intent)
Mapping future directions is an ongoing dialogue that translates the
dynamics of the business and customer landscape into ever
increasing clarity for the organization on how it can shape the
very environment within which it operates.
Senior Executives wishing to become Future Shapers work with
us to:
 |
Clarify their business strategy and its implications
to the organization. |
|
Build organizational alignment based on the strategy, including
assessing current strengths and gaps, and building the leadership
capabilities needed for success. |
|
Create a portfolio architecture and process that is consistent
with the strategy and is informed by the intelligence gathered
through execution. |
Focused Execution (Integrated Effort)
A strategy emerges into reality through execution. The Execution
Orchestrators in the organization are at many levels and recognizing
the complexity of their job.
They work with us to:
|
Implement consistency in the way they manage
product development projects. This is done by focusing on
the management process and cross-functional work practices
needed to manage in a highly interdependent environment. |
|
Master strategy execution through effective and efficient
Project Management. They learn to build and deploy integrated
product development project plans, identify and manage risks
proactively, obtain and sustain stakeholder commitment, and
increase overall project management capability and skills. |
Aligning People with the Vision (Inspiration)
The will for execution does not come from methods and
standards. It comes from finding inspiration in what we do and how
it gets valued in the environment in which we do it. We
believe that everyone in the organization needs to embrace their
role as Inspiration Invigorators, particularly those in leadership
positions.
In doing so, they often need unique skills and abilities to help
in this role, and so both our strategy and execution work builds
the internal capability for people to:
|
Plan and manage organizational transition by
incorporating the human dynamics, change management and
organization effectiveness
elements needed to invigorate and align people with
the organization's vision and priorities. |
|
Create emergent teams that work across functional,
geographic, cultural and linguistic boundaries. |
|
Assess and develop their leadership effectiveness. |
