Here's the issue

Making sure the solution doesn't become the next problem

Are you finding that the trouble with many strategies is that they only take you so far and that the ideas and people that once solved your trickiest issues are now limiting future performance?

At Harthill we don't analyse and develop strategy in isolation from people. Instead we create breakthrough strategies based on a rigorous appraisal of your current situation. These strategies genuinely go beyond the conventional and foster a new sense of personal engagement and ownership among people throughout your organisation.

Considering strategy and people as one

The first thing we do is to help organisations to research their current strategic situation and, crucially, the fundamental assumptions that underpin its performance. Once we've reached a deep understanding of the current situation, we introduce new voices, perspectives and ideas to give everyone involved a sense of 'what could be'.

We then develop the most promising of these scenarios into concrete visions for the future and immediately create strategic experiments to test and evolve these ideas in the real world. Throughout the journey we help individuals and teams transform their own capacity for leading and learning their way into the future.

Getting to the bottom of things: the promise of Learning Reviews

For an example of one specific methodology we adopt to appraise the current situation read the description of Learning Reviews by clicking on the link above.

The most recent Learning Review that we have orchestrated has been with the Leadership Centre for Local Government on their Total Place initiative. See www.harthill.co.uk/home
