I have over 20 years of experience in the field of strategy facilitation and have been licensed to use a tool box of different approaches and processes:
- Decision Process International (DPI); an internationally accredited methodology used by a number of large, listed organisations
- Scenario planning (‘Mind of a Fox’) developed by well-known corporate strategists Clem Sunter and Chantal Illbury
- Six Thinking Hats developed by Edward de Bono
- Participlan – a visual facilitation technique to harness the collective wisdom of the group
- Global cafe conversations
- Crucial conversations
- Thinking Environment by Nancy Kline
My Approach:
- To develop an understanding of the macro landscape that impacts the organisation and the industry within which it operates; the socio, political, economic and competitor influences and risks
- To understand the micro dynamics at play within the business
- To obtain a thorough brief from the leadership team and a deep understanding of what would be a desired outcome of the session
- To design a process to achieve this
- To facilitate the strategic conversation with the leadership team
- To document and summarise the output and decisions from the session
- To share that output with others and to engage them for their ‘fresh and new’ thinking and perspective
- To develop the implementation plan
- To support the implementation process with ongoing engagement sessions
