Forging Strategy

"...the result for us was a five-year strategy, wholly endorsed by all our stakeholders" Margo, Founder

I don't run workshops; I force strategic alignment and forge five-year blueprints in days. Your strategy is currently a liability if it lives in a document, bring it into everyone's day to day decisions. I ensure your executive team co-creates a future that's an unfair competitive advantage. Stop talking. Start executing.

What clients say about my approach

Ben is presenting with part of the Google for Education logo showing behind him. It is below a large screen that says "Design Sprint" as a title and prototype and test below as a sub-heading above Ben's head

"Ben developed such an impactful workshop where the whole team were able to engage with a key stakeholders from the customer, listening to them and working with them to develop tangible and personalised solutions"

- Alexandra (Head of Google for Education, Northern Europe)

On the left there are rectangular yellow sticky notes with a variety of red and green sticky dots on them. The the right in line with each yellow sticky note are blue and pink square sticky notes. They have no sticky dots.

"His ability to grasp often complex business matters helped in his moderation of a clean and focused workshop and the result for us was a five-year strategy, wholly endorsed by all our stakeholders.

Needless to say, we would return to Ben again in the future."

- Margo (Founder, proSapient)

"At a crucial point in our growth, Ben supported the team's alignment on values and workstreams in order to develop our high-performance culture. We have the ingredients needed to formulate clear tangible next steps as individuals and within each team to drive our strategy, and we had the most amazing response from all our employees who also took away so much from the day"

- Gabrielle (COO, thymia)
