The Harthill Seminars have a deliberate focus on enabling leaders in organisations to learn how to act in ways that support the transformation of themselves as leaders, their teams and their organisations. We will provide intellectually rigorous input, stimulating and lively debate with some of the best leaders in the UK today and a light-hearted touch that will ensure you go away enlivened and encouraged.

Grounded Strategy: Leading Common Sense Transformation


• New dates in 2008 to be announced
• We can also deliver the seminar in your organisation

A successful strategy does more than turn the handle on profit – it envisions a future that has meaning for the leaders and staff of an organisation and focuses their energies and capabilities in converting aspiration into actions that they are proud of.

Harthill has developed a powerful approach that enables organisations to develop, articulate and implement strategy in a way that is profoundly creative and deeply grounded in the realities of the current context, in their relationships, and with their deepest sense of who they are as leaders. This grounding forms the basis for new possibilities out of which they weave their strategic actions.

Harthill’s process involves the radically participative development of strategy, an engaging (hearts-and-minds) approach that starts small and grows until it touches the whole organisation. It addresses the development of leadership capabilities and of a culture for ongoing renewal and action.

In this seminar we will:
• engage you in exploring the underpinning assumptions of this unique approach
• identify the required conditions for success
• give you deep insight into the process,
• in true Harthill style we will be truthful about the highs, lows, risks and benefits
