In a world of increasing uncertainty and complexity, where there is ever-increasing pressure to deliver great results for investors, we provide value by supporting teams in achieving extraordinary results. Fast.
Well-crafted strategies often fall short of the hoped-for outcomes due to difficulties in the execution phase. With failure rates estimated between 50% to 70% - it translates into an enormous loss of value. Team Excelerator’s sole focus and expertise is in helping organisations address this execution gap.
The recurring causes of execution failure are well documented but not widely understood or proactively resolved within organisations. And it’s rare to find all of the knowledge and skills needed to anticipate and deal with the failure modes in-house.
Team Excelerator’s integrated approach gives your business the support and insight it needs to achieve its strategic intent quickly and efficiently.
By generating a sense of common purpose, cultivating high levels of energy and proactively reducing organisational friction - we increase the probability of your success significantly - and get results fast.
Based on validated research (and lessons from our own historical successes and failures) we’ve developed a unique approach to overcome the most frequent challenges encountered in implementing strategy - a map for unchartered waters, so you can navigate the hidden hazards.
Our approach addresses three key aspects simultaneously, dramatically improving your chances of success.
As human beings we find meaning through stories. So we’ll work with you to create a powerful narrative about your strategy so that every employee can find meaning in its delivery, understand the destination and challenges, become emotionally engaged, and be a true advocate.
Why?We’ll help identify and shape the individual projects, that together, will achieve your objectives and build the mechanisms you’ll need to stay on track. These projects are the essential story lines in the chapters that deliver your envisioned future. Often details emerge at this stage that will inform the strategy execution and test the strategic intent.
Why?From the very beginning of our engagement we’ll strive to identify issues that hinder team progress so that they can be resolved constructively. By focussing on team dynamics, we can quickly pinpoint and eliminate these limiting factors, while nurturing highly productive and trusting intra-team relationships.
Why?
Renowned leadership coach Marshall Goldsmith was once asked “Does anyone who attends these leadership events, ever really change?”
Apart from stopping Marshall in his tracks that day, it prompted a follow-up study with 86,000 professionals responding, and a database that has now grown to over 250,000. And the conclusion?
“Very few people achieve positive and lasting change without ongoing follow up”.
This is a compelling reason for having an ongoing relationship with Team Excelerator, but far from the only one. We will work with you to embed change, ensure new execution disciplines are adhered to, and that inevitable deviations from the plan are promptly recognised and dealt with.
In short, we’ll keep your plans on track and get you to where you need to be. Fast.
Trust is the key foundation on which we build relationships with clients – and we aim to establish trust quickly.
In the foundation phase, our focus is to quickly understand your organisation and its key individuals. We’ll gain insight through immersion in your organisation, observation and dialogue. This allows us to establish a strong working relationship based on a shared understanding of the workings of your organisational system. From this we build you the detail of the activities to be undertaken in the Building Phase.
