You’ve come up with a great strategy for your company. Imagine how you would feel if everything was working together, and the strategy was being implemented just the way you imagined it. The problem is, this hardly ever happens. In fact, according to the Harvard Business Review, 66% of company strategies never get implemented.

So, what happens? They are undermined by a company culture, lack of coordination of the Senior Management Team and leadership styles throughout the organisation that neither provides clarity of direction nor gets people working together.

This problem needs to be addressed at an organisational, team and individual level. The SLA combines consultancy, team development and coaching in a novel way, delivering results in a matter of months. How does this work?

• Consultancy: Over a period of a week carrying out 21 interviews
• Presentation to the Senior Management Team
• Four-Hour Session team Alignment session with Senior Management team
• A report with recommendations for continued team performance
• Three follow-up coaching sessions with CEO
• A great price when you buy the SLA as a package. $8,500 for all the above.

Douglas will firstly maintain an interview with the CEO to get a clear understanding of the company strategy and his or her view on the organisational culture.

He will then carry out 20 interviews with employees from different levels of the company. In these interviews Douglas will follow a structured process that will identify the organisational culture, the prevalent leadership style in the organisation and the level of understanding of the business strategy and what actions are required to implement it.

Douglas will then write a report based on the interviews and present the findings to the Senior Management Team in a one-hour presentation. This presentation will include:

• The level of understanding of the business strategy throughout the organisation.
• A picture of the company culture and how it is assisting or hindering the strategy.
• The existing leadership style and how it is assisting or hindering the strategy.
• Recommendations for adapting the culture and leadership style to better support the business.

Prior to the session Douglas will carry out a team assessment. During that session the team will use that assessment plus a series of activities to improve team alignment and get clarity on how, as a team, the group can better support the business.

Following the session with the Senior Management Team, Douglas will elaborate a report with recommendations for continued improvement for the team. The report will include specific actions that can be undertaken at a team and individual level  to achieve that improvement.

During the six weeks following the intervention Douglas will carry out three coaching sessions aimed at supporting the CEO as he or she oversees the changes that they have agreed to carry out.

As a result of this intervention, implementation of the strategy will increase, people will be more accountable for their behaviours, there will be more collaboration, increasing employee well-being and achieving higher growth.

If you bought the consultancy, team development and coaching for the CEO as separate services, it would be an important investment. But, buying the Strategy & Leadership Audit as a package, at $8,500 you pay just a fraction of the normal price. Imagine having everyone in your organisation working together to support the strategy for just $8,500. That would be a great investment.
