How we can help you
Culture is overlooked in organizations because it possesses a taken-for-granted quality. Habitual forms of behavior are an important aspect of culture. While habits can help people get things done, they can also create resistance to change required by new market trends, emerging technologies and political factors.
If this story sounds familiar, Matthew J. Hill can help you reverse the narrative by supporting you to:
Develop a strategic vision that aligns the leadership team, its external stakeholders, and core staff around a shared strategy and set of goals.
Improve troublesome processes requiring time-consuming workarounds, breakdowns, or missed handoffs.
Scale the future in the present—innovations often hiding in plain sight—and building campaigns that take them to the next level.
Solve complex operational problems through Action Learning Projects that marry analysis and action to create learning organizations.
Key actors within your organization are encouraged to think beyond the near term to possibilities that are in the distant horizon, still impressionistic, and work backward from the future to prepare the organization for its new reality.
