Thought Partnering
We help clients think through complex communication challenges. Here are some examples:
Helping a senior executive think through their pitch to the board for the CEO role. Gerard was called in by a global management consulting firm to help them finalise the presentation that their client, a CEO candidate, would make as part of his pitch for their new role.
Helping a boutique global technology firm make a critical pitch to an Asian telco. Davina worked with the senior members of a logistics team wanting to enter into an agreement with an overseas telecommunications provider. The team realised they had focused on why they thought the telco should partner with them and not the other way around. After refocusing, future conversations were successful.
Helping the leadership team from an energy retailer articulate its strategy to a new board. Davina was asked to work with the CEO and his direct reports to help them think through the messaging for their new strategy. It was particularly important that they got it right as the new board included divergent views on critical issues. The paper was received well and led to a constructive conversation about the potential future directions of the company.
