It’s all about the buy-in.

We’ve been there.

As former executives, we’re veterans (and victims) of countless change management projects.

We know first-hand that large-scale change never happens without buy-in from senior leadership.

To get there, we employ a tool called “future back” planning.

• We enlist senior managers in developing a shared vision for the future of the industry, and their company.

• We identify points of consensus within the group, disagreements, high-confidence predictions, and the big question marks.

After aligning on this vision of the future, it’s time for the “what now?”

• We facilitate the group’s examination of possible scenarios & the strategic implications of each.

• Then land on practical tactics they can launch today.

Why it works:

Senior leaders turn their attention from the day-to-day to the near future.

They end up owning the strategy and tactics.

The roadmap is theirs.
