Executive group
Senior management teams are seminal in shaping and running organisations - be it at group, regional or business unit level.
As a member you are at the chalk face, with regular input into strategy and implementation.
You still have the 'day job' - functional, regional or portfolio responsibilities. It's vital to draw on that experience and expertise.
Yet team dynamics on the executive tend towards ambiguity rather than the relative certainties of the line.
Perhaps you have realised that your management team is not firing on all cylinders? Or that the new faces are looking around for cues?
We believe that senior management teams need to work out how they are going to operate together.
Use this workout to focus on your issues, culture and process. We provide high level facilitation, mentoring, conflict management, feedback and encouragement.

'We were like couples at a party, talking only to our partners. You can't run the business like that. People feel in the dark. Undermined. Since the workout we feel free to mingle. We have a much better idea of how to deal with the occasional conflict. And now we can really concentrate on adding value as a team.'
