1. Design Strategy (Structure)

Designing strategy for execution

We help leadership teams develop strategy in a way that makes execution possible from the outset.

This work focuses on:

  • Clarifying strategic intent in terms of observable results

  • Translating ambition into coherent cause‑and‑effect logic

  • Designing strategies that can be measured, monitored, and adjusted

Our approach ensures strategy is not just well‑articulated — but executable.

2. Manage for Results (Evidence)

Generating performance evidence leaders can trust

To manage results well, leaders need evidence that tells the truth about performance.

We help organisations:

  • Design meaningful performance measures

  • Distinguish learning signals from accountability signals

  • Replace KPI theatre with disciplined performance conversations

For this discipline, we apply PuMP® (Performance Measurement Process) — developed by Stacey Barr — because it is the most rigorous approach we know for designing measures that matter.

3. Manage Complexities (Behaviour)

Managing the tensions that derail execution

Strategy execution inevitably surfaces tensions — not problems to solve, but polarities to manage.

We help leaders:

  • Recognise persistent tensions such as performance and accountability, stability and change

  • Avoid false trade‑offs that undermine execution

  • Build leadership behaviour that leverages both sides of critical tensions

For this discipline, we apply the Polarity Approach to Continuity and Transformation (PACT™), in partnership with Polarity Partnerships.
