Facilitation That Delivers
A Perspective
I’m a good listener and can succinctly summarize key ideas, but I’m not only reflecting back what I hear. I offer my own perspectives and I’m not afraid to call out hard truths. With years of experience in management consulting, I’ve been in the trenches solving the very problems with which you’re struggling. I bring my intuition, insights and pattern recognition to bear in designing interactions that work and guiding conversations towards superior outcomes.
Debiased Outcomes
The (Nobel-recognized!) field of behavioral economics proves our decision making is often irrational, not because we’re dumb, but because we’re human. We are particularly prone to these irrational biases when the decisions we’re making are infrequent with results well into the future — exactly the strategic business decisions you are trying to make. I’ve worked closely with leading thinkers in this field, notably Professors Olivier Sibony and Dan Lovallo, to develop, test and implement de-biasing techniques that yield high-quality strategic decisions. If your team consists of humans, you can’t afford to overlook the adverse impact of our commonly-held biases.
A Path to Impact
Aligning with your team on a strategic decision is a critical step, but it’s only the first one. Translating strategic decisions into action is the real source of value, but all too often, businesses fail to reallocate their most important resources — capital, talent, executive attention — in line with the new direction. I lean on my work as author and recognized contributor to novel thinking on the difficulty organizations face in translating strategy to action and the techniques that can bust through the inertia. From me, you won’t just get a decision, but a team that is ready to move.
