WE CALL OUR APPROACH: STRATEGIC JUDGMENT

Leaders today are looking to build organisations that create both financial value and admired businesses.

Faced with unrelenting demand for returns and existential challenges, today’s organisations place extraordinary demands on leaders.

We help leaders think differently, identify what matters most, set direction, and navigate company politics to be confident that they will flourish – whatever the world throws their way.

We offer individual, team and organisational coaching and design services in short and long-term relationships.

What they’re saying

When it comes to developing innovative strategies, Matthew is the person I turn to first. He combines wide research with careful analysis of both market conditions and of the competencies and cares of leaders. His cutting-edge work delivers ethical and cultural innovations where people inside companies and their customers see themselves on a righteous mission. That zeal makes the strategies Matthew develops unstoppable.

Charles Spinosa, Group Director VISION Consulting and author of Disclosing New Worlds.

I have worked with Matt for more than fifteen years and have always found his consulting challenging, insightful, and action oriented.

In April 2013 I was appointed Group CEO of Impellam Group plc, moving from a Divisional CEO role.

Matt worked closely with me in the early months to help me identify the defining issues facing the Group and set our strategy.  Subsequently he has supported me in implementing the strategy through a promise based performance management and governance framework and the development of our Top 100 leaders.

When I was appointed, and began working with Matthew, our share price stood at £3.83. While the share prices of our three largest competitors have fallen, Impellam’s share price has grown 49%.

Keeping things simple is the hallmark of Matt’s ability. His approach is to develop a clear and simple strategy to achieve strategic objectives. By using such an approach it helped me and the team to distil opportunities and then develop plans to go for opportunities and make tangible and sustainable savings. The culture change in the team is visible, the team players' actions are akin to what a strong customer will request, remain with the performer until commitment-based delivery (on time and under budget) is delivered by the performer. The key to the success has been a clear and simple strategy, converting that strategy into simple processes where roles and responsibilities are clear, and the adoption and practising of established signature practices as per the agreed process.
