Just like people, businesses grow up, mature, and adopt new behaviours. The ways of working that powered a successful phase of growth will not necessarily maintain your success or support the next phase. We partner with our clients to reset team and organisational behaviours and align them for sustainable performance over the long term.

Some questions you may have:

• How are our current incentives distracting us from achieving our intended outcomes?
• Conflict is increasing – how do I avoid the team from unravelling?
• The team is strong because we overcame tough situations together, but it has also become a bit exclusive. How do I integrate the new members we need for the next phase of growth?

Disruption is a constant in our modern world – mergers, acquisitions, and re-organisations shake up teams and organisations. It can also shake teams apart in the absence of concerted attention to keep the team connected. We partner with our clients as they pull together through disruption.

Some questions you may have:

• How will the team cope with the loss of members who were the ‘glue’ that kept the team together?
• How will I combine what appear to be two very different cultures into one effective team?
• What is going to reduce the conflict, build trust, and finally get these new team members working with each other?

Long standing teams can lose motivation over time and become stagnant. They find comfortable ways of working and resist change because “we have always done it this way.” In today’s business world, innovation is necessary and resistance is futile. We partner with our clients as they re-motivate and re-inspire their teams.

Some questions you may have:

• We seem to have all the right ingredients; what is holding us back?
• How can new voices and new ideas find space to be heard and considered?
• How can I get the team members who are resistant to the change I believe we need onboard?

Teams are more dispersed and diverse than ever before.  Members can be spread across different locations, time zones, and even companies. Building trust, accountability, and cooperation so the wider team acts ‘as one’ towards a common outcome is no easy task. We partner with our clients to foster a sense of interdependency within teams that leads them towards collaboration.

Some questions you may have:

• How do you build trust within a team?
• What will it take for my team to stop pointing fingers and start working together?
• How can I best incentivise the team to encourage the collaborative behaviour we need to be successful?

Everyone is talking about stakeholder capitalism as the new path for business, but where are the proven frameworks and successful case studies to follow? Our work is performed through the lens of Sustainable Leadership using a framework developed by the Institute for Sustainable Leadership that drives towards high-performing and resilient organisations. We partner with our clients as they transform their businesses for long term success in a stakeholder driven future.

Some questions you may have:

• What does a successful business operating under stakeholder capitalism look like?
• What principles and practices do we need to adopt or adapt to succeed in this new business environment?
• How do we measure success?
