Tailored Workshops Designed for your organisation
Our Strategy Masterclass and KPI Masterclass can be tailored specifically to the needs of your organisation.Our tailored workshops are delivered via Zoom Meetings. These bring your managers together to understand a shared framework. The result is that everyone speaks the same language and is re-energised. They’re freed from the word games that traditionally trip up managers and directors in business. The workshops also unlock fresh thinking.
The workshops can include representatives from any level of your organisation and are suitable for business, government and not-for-profit organisations.
Examples
The CEO of a company in the food industry attended the Strategy Masterclass. He decided that it would boost the performance of his organisation if the board and other members of the management team were also exposed to the ideas and methods in the Strategy Masterclass.
So a special in-house, tailored Masterclass was designed to meet their needs. It was delivered via Zoom Meetings to the 10 participants over the course of 5 one-hour sessions.
The three partners of a professional service firm wanted the KPI Masterclass run in-house for them and the firm’s Leadership Team. The purpose was to achieve a shared understanding of the framework, ideas and methods in the Masterclass and to set in train a different way to address performance measurement for the organisation.
As a result, a tailored KPI Masterclass was developed and delivered via Zoom Meetings to 12 attendees. This took place over 5 one-hour sessions spread across two weeks.
Strategic Thinking Survey
We’ve developed a unique, online survey for managers to help zero in on clients’ strategy needs. This assesses managers’ strategic thinking ability and identifies any organisational constraints. The results are used to sharpen a workshop agenda around your managers’ requirements. The average scores are also fed back to your management team for discussion.

Business Outcomes
What’s the bottom line for your organization? 
Competitive advantage, or doing better than the alternative, must be achieved at every interface with your key stakeholders – customers, yes, but employees, suppliers and so on, too.
There are two ways to achieve this. One is by better positioning on strategic factors. The other is by inventing a new business model.
Answers to these questions will be found in this workshop:
- Do you know the keys to your competitive advantage?
- How can you research strategic factors?
- Has your organisation or business unit developed clear positions on where it stands?
- Where might you start in designing a new business model?

“Stakeholders” are now front and centre in any modern strategic discussion or planning. But how do you identify them? Which ones are “key”? These are the central questions in this workshop.
The questions addressed in this workshop include:
- Does your team genuinely understand what’s going on in your industry?
- How can you make your strategic analysis more penetrating?
- Can you identify your “key” stakeholders?
- Can you describe your target customer clearly?

Business Outcomes
What’s the bottom line for your organization? 
Business is operating in a volatile world brought on not only by the pandemic but also by changes in management thinking. This includes a shift to “stakeholders” in management language, e.g., “stakeholder capitalism”. However, most management teams lack a consistent framework to address these changes. The questions addressed in this workshop include:
- Can you, on the fingers of one hand, tell someone the ingredients of success in your industry?
- Have you been developing strategy looking inside-out?
- Are you able to look at your business outside-in?
- Is your organisation a Champion or a Plodder?
“Aside from his immense experience in the setting of strategic direction for our company, it was his ability to simplify what was a hugely daunting task and one that we had delayed for too long.
His genuine interest in getting to the root cause of our problems is appreciated and I have no hesitations in recommending him to other companies who are yet to really get their strategy right.“.
Ashley Bacon – CEO, Kalyx Australia

The questions addressed in this workshop include:
- Have you tried to do too much in the past?
- Have you been designing real actions and an action plan?
- Have you lacked someone in charge of monitoring progress?
- Have you tried to track progress through normal meetings?
“I attended Graham’s online Strategy course. It was one of the most practical and insightful approaches to strategy I have seen. The opportunity to meet other like-minded business leaders as part of it was really valuable.
Graham talks to real-life business strategy examples he has worked on, not theory.
I would highly recommend “.
