We offer extensive experience in the WHAT, WHY and HOW of Organisational Leadership.
We accept the view of Peter Senge (From his Fifth Discipline work) where he describes Leadership as a process not a position and goes on to define Leadership as “the capacity of a human community to shape its future”.
We believe that good leadership leads to good governance. Firstly, by acknowledgement that the governing body understands their moral and legal obligations and ensures that this understanding permeates into a well-researched and developed business strategy underpinned by a risk management plan.
When developing organisational strategy, we give as much focus to what you want to achieve as to what you want to avoid.
Leadership is about creating and maintaining an appropriate organisational culture. We look at culture in this context in terms of organisational development, reflected in how the organisation develops their system of knowledge, ideology, values, policy, and day to day operations.
Leadership should be a whole of organisation objective not just a role that is for the Board or the Executive Leadership Team. We take a practical definition of an organisation,
being a group of people working together to achieve a common purpose.
We assist organisations to understand leadership from a situational analysis perspective. This is about understanding leadership responsibility and the best approach to take as the organisation moves through its different life cycles. From our many years of practical leadership and management experience our work is focused on sustainability of the organisation not on a quick fix or window dressing exercise.
We support organisations in developing an organisation wide Governance Framework This is about being able to define quality, describe the system, process, controls that are in place to deliver quality and the feedback loops that are in place to continually improve services.
