Strategy Sprints
Sometimes you just need help with some aspect of strategy. You may not have the capacity, you may not have experienced a particular strategic challenge or you may just need fresh eyes to find that path to strategy success that’s been eluding you.
That’s when a Strategy Sprint can help get you to help you overcome a specific strategy challenge:
- Expert, professional advice
- Intensive, time-limited projects
- Hands-on support (virtual for now)
Challenges you may need help with:
› Strategy development
› Strategy alignment
› Strategy measurement
› Strategic agility
› Strategy adoption
Strategy sprints work well when preceded by a workshop (virtual at present) to explore the challenge you are tackling and how you define success.

Strategy Sharpener
Current challenges may not have changed the sort of organisation you aspire to be. You do, however, need to sharpen the focus of your strategic planning. You need to re-prioritise. You need to work out how to get through the mountain of work necessary to be well prepared for the future.
Our Strategy Sharpener service:
- Provides expert, systematic, evidence-based synthesis of your current situation
- Facilitates rapid, intensive, solution-scoping
- Coordinates a compressed, lean, strategic planning cycle for the forthcoming six months.
Strategy Mapping Software
Strategy Mapping, as a process, is a remarkable strategic tool. You can use it to delegate and prioritise goals, set and track targets, and aggregate performance up to meaningful KPIs.
Our unique web-based tool, developed in-house for us to use ourselves with clients, turns your strategy into an interactive, shareable, manageable process, designed to:
- Make your strategy more purposeful and systematic
- Ensure your goals are aligned and strategic actions delegated
- Effectively measure your progress
- Deliver strategic success.
