      consultancy and thinking partner for progressive

      We help leaders in sports build capacity and accelerate practice
      to achieve sustainable results - reducing failure to cope with '4.0'
      environments of complexity, change and problems.

    • Purpose

       

      There are at least *9 different skills of ‘4.0’ sports leadership. All skills are not equal, some are more important than others.

       

      Of the 9 skills we consider 3 the most important, which is why we only focus on accelerating sports leadership capacity/capability in 3 specialist areas
        
      1. Making Strategic Complexity Clear: a framework for understanding, approaching and designing solutions for problems that impact long-term leadership strategy.

       

      2. Leading/Managing through Change: the fundamentals, principles and practices for managing and controlling change (strategic + day-to- day).

       

      3. Solve Problems/Deliver Opportunities: embedding ‘best in class’ methodology for implementing decisions successfully (strategic + day-to-day).

       

      These 3 are recognised as '4.0' critical and outweigh others.

       

      We are experts in these areas and our purpose is to help leaders in sports achieve results in an increasingly complex world.
