Context

A publicly funded organisation supporting European manufacturers needed to navigate multiple simultaneous changes: launching a new business proposition, futureproofing their operating model to respond to potential funding changes, implementing a new ERP system, and introducing a restructured organisation to strengthen accountability. They also saw an opportunity to create a more collaborative way of working across their offices in different locations.

Our Collaborative Approach

What began as a three-month strategy engagement evolved into an ongoing partnership. Working alongside the client's team, we:

• Facilitated workshops and one-to-one sessions to co-create their strategic narrative

• Built alignment on priorities through inclusive leadership discussions

• Designed and delivered leadership off-sites that helped the team reflect on their approach

• Co-developed an integrated transformation calendar that made interdependencies visible

• Supported their communications team in designing an engaging strategy launch

Throughout the process, we focused on building internal capability, ensuring the client team could sustain momentum after our formal engagement ended.

Impact We Created Together

Our partnership delivered tangible results:

• Clearer focus and genuine alignment among the leadership team

• A practical project management playbook that teams now use independently

• Increased transparency that has reduced tension and built trust

• New channels for collaboration that continue to generate value

• Stronger foundations for implementing organisational changes

By working together, we created not just documents and plans, but practical changes in how the leadership team approaches strategy and transformation.
