Strategy & purpose
Real, deep work on strategy, the working together on strategy, rather than the ‘writing-of-a-plan’ as strategy: that is what we try to do. In our experience strategic agreement is often nominal or superficial – not enough time is spent getting to know the different points of view and positions. This compromises the capacity to take risks. Our work on strategy often involves
- facilitating a process of immersion in the issues
- bringing all points of view and the whole system into the process of strategising
- noticing the emergence of patterns and common ground
- holding back from premature agreement
Clients for strategy & purpose development include: Focus (a charity for the sight impaired); Solihull Strategic Partnership; GIZ (Germany); Neighbourhood Renewal Unit; neighbourhood partnerships in Islington, Lambeth, Hackney, Coventry, Birmingham, Manchester, Gloucester, Nottinghamshire.
