Gain clarity and get moving.

We focus on these outcomes…

  • Alignment from executives to managers - for your vision, your strategic objectives, and your specific initiatives

  • Clarity on the value your teams are trying to create - how they create that value and where they would like to improve value-creation

  • Acknowledgment of reality - where your teams’ operating model and systems are not supporting the value you want to deliver, where you can remove friction and unlock capabilities across people, process, data, technology, and governance

  • Confidence that your teams ‘understand the assignment’ - their individual charters, roles, responsibilities, and methods of interactions with partner teams

  • Agency to do the work that needs to be done - that drives your teams’ near-term performance AND the work that drives you toward new and better ways of performing

  • Visible momentum toward your goals - near-term and long-term

Why is this necessary?

Big initiatives stall in the transition from Executive to executional. When organizations take on transformational initiatives, they launch them at the executive level and often struggle to bring them to life at the executional level. Operational leaders who are primarily focused on daily performance get asked to roadmap and implement these strategic initiatives… requiring partnership with technology teams on topics that are new and complicated.

This is hard to do. The organization’s culture isn’t built to support these efforts, the operational leaders aren’t sure exactly where to start, and team-members constantly get pulled back into their daily performance-oriented tasks. On top of it all, the strategy is usually framed in ‘consulting speak’... meaning that while it is inspiring, it is also vague and open to interpretation.

This is where we thrive. We provide simple and meaningful support to help the ‘right’ executional components receive proper focus - to give executional teams confidence in their assignment, to identify unexpected areas of real challenges to success, and to translate those challenges back up to executives with revised solutions. This is how SBD Consulting helps your operational leaders find clarity and get moving.
