How can we help?
We believe in UnConsulting: Longer-term, well-informed, high-ownership engagements that provide continous value from strategy and well into execution (in contrast to short-term poorly informed strategy recos with low-ownership and therefore low execution success rate).

| Don’t hire consultants that come and go. Hire us to advise real-time using your current executive meetings. This approach is less disruptive and provides immediate impact. | – Shift in Focus / Purpose – Shift in Alignment – Shift in Transparency – Specific Mindset Shift (e.g. customer centric) – Shift in Meeting Format – Shift in Executive Culture (takes time) | Within context of existing executive meetings, we would use powerful questions and insights to trigger and reinforce a shift in mindset and behaviour. A big part of this is driving transparancy and clarity. |

| Outcome-based one-on-one coaching. Set goals for next two-to-three months and let us support you (and challenge you) to achieve them better and faster than you even imagined. | These vary depending on outcomes the executive desires to achieve but often include: – level of influence they have with their peers (especially if in conflict) – deeper understanding about themselves – help achieving specific business outcomes | Again, these vary depending on outcomes but often include: – powerful questions to help the executive better understand themselves, their motivations, and their current behaviours – reframing / role play – co-creating proposals and presentations |

| Leadership Training | Common Outcomes | Common Activities |

Let us accelerate your transformation. | Depending on leadership gaps and opportunities, these often include: – Providing Skills and Knowledge (Agility) – Increasing focus on outcomes not activities – Accelerating specific business outcomes (e.g. product / service definition via pilots) | Depending on gaps and opportunities, these often include: – Focused training sessions – Workshops to apply knowledge in relevant context – On-the-job / in-context real-time sessions to accelerate specific outcomes |
