‘change the way they think and work’
As a corollary to our mission our practice enables businesses to avoid ‘solving the wrong problems – really well’. We typically engage with a senior team to help them work through complex challenges or opportunities in a way that will lead to a clear vision. Vision always requires a viable strategy in order to deliver on its intentions, and ultimately leads to a more resilient organisation – one that is better equipped to cope with whatever life throws at it. Our belief is that the knowledge and capability to effect meaningful change sits within the organisation. We also believe that strategy needs to be owned and delivered by those in the business, not dependent on external providers over a long-term. The issue too is often that strategy isn’t given the time and attention it needs. The increasing complexity of working environments, coupled with the inability to step out of busy day jobs and think differently about ways of working and thinking, means that the hard decisions frequently get deferred indefinitely. And what follows is that initiatives stall and cynicism and apathy take over. It’s a vicious cycle that we are often called in to break – and at the same time to inject new perspectives, stimulate creativity and reignite teams.
about group partners
Group Partners Ltd is a London-based practice operating globally in support of a very single-minded mission – to help businesses and organisations:
We do this through an approach that we call Structured Visual Thinking™ (SVT™). We know that working visually allows everyone to enage, be inspired to think differently and in the process gives them tools that they built themselves to convey their own strategy to others quickly. SVT™ follows some simple, yet powerful principles. These are based on many years of experience working with organisations across the world, in all industries, combined with a strong philosophy of our own. There are a number of tools and techniques applied to any engagement; within which each programme of work is designed to suit a specific ‘exam question’ (a statement of the problem to be solved or opportunity sought). The following principles underlie everything we do, just as they underpin the tools and techniques we use and the new ones we develop as our experience and learning grow: • •
