What We Do
Unprecedented challenges call for new thinking and bold action. Strategic Imperatives helps clients to leverage the tremendous power of sustainability to achieve prosperity, drive innovation and develop leaders while also improving the world we live in. Our services include strategy development, organization development, leadership development and speaking and education.
Strategy Development
We partner with clients to help them to create strategies that also incorporate sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) into the core of their organizations in ways that bring success to them and foster a more sustainable world. Through involvement and co-creation, we collaborate with others to identify what works well, establish a compelling vision of the future and structure a plan to leverage strengths to turn the vision into reality.
Organization Development
Success is about more than creating the strategy. Consider the phrase "your system is perfectly designed to get the results you are getting." The organization needs to be aligned and engaged in order to deliver results AND this is a perfect opportunity for increasing effectiveness and learning. From start to finish, we show you how to influence the culture and build organizational capacity while you are designing and implementing key initiatives. Organization design, change leadership, culture transformation, attracting and retaining talent and engaging stakeholders are all part of our organization development services.
Speaking & Education
Education is the key that opens the door to greater awareness, commitment and innovation. Contact Strategic Imperatives to arrange for presentations, key notes and workshops which can be customized for your organization and industry. Examples of topics include:
- How Sustainability Impacts Your Success
- Developing Strategies to Create Sustainable Value
- Organizational Culture and Sustainability
- Engaging the "Whole System"
- Sustainability in Higher Education
- Gen-S – Preparing the next generation to be sustainable
- Strength-Based Methods for Change
Leadership Development
"Lead" comes from the word "life" and literally means "stepping across the threshold". Our approach is one that fosters provocative thought leadership at all levels. You need leaders that have the courage and competence to step up and tackle the challenges of our time, and be able to create opportunities for a future that isn’t known. C. Otto Scharmer refers to this in his Theory U book as "leading from the future".
Our consultants and coaches are trained and certified in a variety of highly regarded methodologies and assessment instruments including The Extraordinary Self Program™ , MBTI, FIRO-B, CPI 260 and Lominger VOICES.
Strategic Imperatives applies a "Bold" leadership competency model designed to assess and build leadership capabilities throughout an organization.
