“It’s the question that drive us…”
Do I “really” have a problem or challenge that requires a “strategy”?
Most challenges DON’T need “Strategy,” and are just fune to apply “Best Practices” with “Classic Risk Management”. But if you begin to experinece rare, competing stories, novel issues, and highly dynamic changes that require high-stakes choices be made with low confidence, then you are wise to consider investing in develop of strategic options as alternatives and contingencies. The only proper resolution to “Wicked Problems” isn’t more narrow subject matter expertise, but a broader, multi-disciplinary approach that combines divergent, convergent, and systems thinking to grapple with uncertainty and complexity.
What types of services do you offer?
Let’s focus on the decisive choices you need to make and work backwards to the data you’ll need to effectively evaluate real options in the format that best suits the challenge. Together, we’ll co-create diagrams on digital and real whiteboards to model strategic pathways at high-speed before leveraging technology and data sets to add precision and confidence to your choices. Ultimately we’ll package your conclusion to capture stakeholders’ buy-in and set you up for success in change management. This can be accomplished through one-to-one work sessions, one-to-many workshops, or many-to-one executive roundtables (tournament of ideas) featuring guest experts and professional futurists.
How do I know we are a good fit?
We’ll know we are an effective match by the way we define the problem space. While I’m most popular for my highly-pragmatic and results-oriented focus, the best fit goes to those who seek value from Socratic Dialogue and Roleplaying Perspectives to better think through alternative scenarios and a chain of consequences. Test me in dialogue to get a real sense of how an ambitious visionary gets to see the bigger picture and attains a competitive advantage in information superiority.
