Innovation

Strategic Reset

The Brief

The executive team of the local arm of a global business had reached a plateau. Strategy sessions had become circular and discussions stagnant with a lack of new and relevant ideas. Despite capable leadership, there was a growing sense of frustration that the business wasn’t adapting fast enough to shifting customer expectations and market demands.

Robin’s advice was to deliver an innovation workshop that would act as a circuit breaker—injecting energy, stimulating new thinking and helping the team reshape their go-to-market approach.

Insights & Process

With the understanding that innovation is the life blood of a sustainable and successful business, Robin designed and facilitated a full-day innovation session grounded in various thinking models and innovation principles.

Ensuring the right balance between theory and action —with fast-paced ideation exercises combined with strategic reflection - the team quickly engaged with the process and became excited at the new ideas that began to emerge. Working groups were established to ensure accountability and implementation of the new initiatives.

Result

  • A shift in energy and mindset with participants describing feeling 'unstuck'
  • Identification of new market opportunities and formulation of a more streamlined go-to-market approach
  • Stronger alignment on the need for both incremental and transformational innovation
“This was exactly the reset we needed. It got us out of the weeds and reconnected us with creative, strategic thinking. We left with both energy and a plan.”
