AN INDEPENDENT ADVISORY PRACTICE THAT HELPS LEADERS AND ORGANISATIONS THINK,
PLAN AND EXECUTE THEIR “THEORY OF THE BUSINESS” IN A VERY DIFFERENT AND RAPIDLY
CHANGING WORLD. WE WORK AT THE INTERSECTION OF PUBLIC POLICY, STRATEGY,
LEADERSHIP AND TECHNOLOGY.

Martin Stewart-Weeks, Principal and Founder



MAIN CONTENT

We Do Three Things We help organisations think clearly, plan effectively and
support their leaders for impact and better performance


CLEAR THINKING

We work with organisations, their leaders and teams – and often with their
stakeholders and partners – to think clearly about their “theory of the
business” in a very different and rapidly changing world.

EFFECTIVE PLANNING

Clear thinking has to turn into plans that can be executed for results and
impact. We work with organisations to improve the link between good strategy and
effective execution and attention to implementation detail.

SUPPORTING LEADERS

We support organisational leaders and help to give practical shape and momentum
to their leadership commitments and priorities.

We Work in Three WaysWe work with organisations in a combination of three ways,
depending on their context and needs.


DESIGN AND FACILITATE

We design and facilitate collaborative events and projects that help people to
think, plan and execute together. Martin’s reputation as a thoughtful,
disciplined and engaging facilitator, for 500 or 5, is well established and
widely recognised.

CONVENE AND CONNECT

Whether through formal conference or workshop planning or less formally, we can
connect people who might otherwise not meet or have a chance to collaborate to
take advantage of their complementary skills, expertise and experience.
