My Approach

Most strategies are insignificant and badly executed.

Ouch, I know. 

But there is another way. 

As an in-house strategist, communications, and change practitioner, I've navigated through my share of missteps and witnessed organizations encounter similar challenges time and again. They tend to:

Define goals, not strategy


Have too many priorities and/or poorly define them 


View strategy execution as "operational" rather than a leadership imperative


Overlook the role of culture in either propelling or hindering success


Focus on org structure and processes over employee mindset and behaviours

Rely too heavily on communications and change programs to achieve their goals


INTRODUCING THE

People-Centred Strategy

This proprietary end-to-end process ensures you never get stuck with a strategic plan you can’t deliver again.

You’ll not only have an actionable plan, but your team will be equipped to close the strategy-culture alignment gap and tackle execution roadblocks with confidence.

Strategy is a commodity.
Execution is an art.

— Peter Drucker

PHASE 1

Strategic Clarity

A strategic planning process that starts from a place of possibility (not improvement). My people-centric approach unlocks transformative insights through a highly engaged process. Together, we hone your strategy and goals to build a plan that is clear, compelling, and actionable.

No more complexity or confusion.

Just a simple plan that’s focused on transformative impact.

PHASE 2

Strategy- Culture Alignment

This phase ensures congruence between the organizational culture and the strategic vision. The process bridges the gap between strategy formulation and its execution, ensuring that every action taken is in service of the strategic vision.

If you’re feeling the pain of a strategy-execution “gap” this is likely the culprit.

PHASE 3

Execution Excellence

In this phase, I actively engage in hands-on coaching to foster team and individual accountability, ensure  project delivery excellence, and implement a rhythm of work that keeps strategy and vision at the forefront.

Additionally, I provide support in communication, roll-out, and change initiatives to guarantee successful outcomes.

My Guiding Principles

The People-Centred Strategy Approach was built from a decade of hands-on strategy execution experience. I typically work with leaders who believe:

  • Leaders I work with understand that it is a leadership imperative to drive successful execution. Their work doesn’t stop after planning.

  • They are ready to engage in introspective and collective inquiry about the demands of the strategic shift on themselves and their teams.

  • In the initial stages of implementing a new strategy, the emphasis for managers should be on nurturing personal growth rather than exerting control. This creates an environment of alignment, trust and collective advancement.
