We build an entirely new strategy or update your current one. The process can be compact, or a broad open-strategy exercise that involves, for example, your entire staff, customers, and other key stakeholders.
When a strategy is rebuilt or substantially updated, strategic foresight is worth including. Then I'm joined by More Than Strategy's futurists and the Futures Platform foresight tool.
In most cases, an external facilitator pays off, even when you have plenty of in-house expertise. The process is well led and carries through to a finished strategy. You also gain benchmarks and perspective you might not otherwise have.
A strategy that doesn't show in day-to-day work isn't a strategy. And it rarely delivers the results written into it.
That's why we've built a toolkit, grounded in the best research and hands-on experience, that turns strategy into everyday action. When change calls for new skills and new ways of thinking, we support people with coaching.
From a group of leaders to a leadership team, and from a leadership team to a high-performing team. I also work one-on-one alongside the CEO.
Exit
From the brink of bankruptcy to a lucrative exit, as the CEO's sparring partner
Often what meets around the table is a group of leaders, not a leadership team. The individual leaders are capable, but shared goals and ground rules don't guide the work. Everyone optimizes the scoreboard of their own area.
I've supported countless leadership teams on this journey.
Once a leadership team works, it can be tuned into a high-performing team. Together we find the concrete tools that take your team to the very top—just like championship teams in team sports.
I haven't found a lonelier job than being a CEO. As a CEO myself, I've noticed there isn't always a natural place—at home, in your own organization, or even on the board—to talk through the very hardest issues.
That's why I work alongside leaders one-on-one: sparring and mentoring, leader to leader—in the meeting room, over lunch or coffee, or even during a workout together. Sometimes you need a listening ear, sometimes concrete tools right away.
In the end, the value shows in the income statement and on the balance sheet, even if you can't model it in Excel.
I help boards see where they stand today—and rise to the next level.

Everything can be improved, at least a little. But change always starts from the reality the board and the organization are in right now.
A board evaluation shows where you stand today, objectively and comprehensively. It reveals your board's biggest development areas—and the strengths to build on.
In board coaching, we reinforce the board's greatest strengths and develop its key improvement areas. You get concrete tools and best practices for effective board work.
The goal is for board work to show in the success of the entire organization, all the way through the chain of owners, board, management, and customers.
As a Board Professional
I'm available worldwide as a board chair or board member. When my expertise brings real value to the organization and its board—and there's an interesting journey ahead—I'm always open to a conversation about taking it together.
