Connect Strategy with the Hearts & Minds of Your People
Translate strategy into a down-to-earth narrative to secure the support needed to achieve tangible results.
A well-crafted strategy is only as impactful as the people entrusted with its execution.
Do your leaders have the skills and confidence to take greater ownership of strategy, to deliver a compelling narrative, and to build the day-to-day connection between strategy and workplace culture?
When leaders at all levels take greater ownership of strategy it means less overload and overwhelm at the top. When that happens executives do executive level work, and the organisation is able to meet the dual demands of executing strategy and driving cultural transformation with confidence.
Duck Pond Solutions facilitates a carefully crafted 3-step process to unite the whole leadership cohort so they are accountable and flying in formation.
1
Confirm the Strategic Intent & Context
We help to set up for success at every stage in strategic planning and implementation.
This starts by recognising that strategy is a ‘moving feast’ in turbulent times.
This makes it essential to get absolute clarity about the intent of the strategy, and the nature of the internal and external environment.

Strategy works best when all leaders have a sense of ownership and commitment to the ‘why’.
We help by framing issues clearly and logically, facilitating the right conversations, and guiding leaders to see and embrace their role as the coaches of strategy and culture.
Engage Leaders & Secure Commitment
3
Strategy execution is a team game, and our Think One Team tools provide exactly what leaders need to succeed.
We guide the senior leaders to make the tough calls on priorities; engage all leaders crafting a compelling narrative and setting the operating rhythm to ensure alignment and regular fine tuning to adapt as conditions change.
Create the One Team Narrative & Ways of Working
Skilled Facilitation is essential
We guide you through the 3-step process via interactive workshops and small fast teams, initially with senior leaders. Then, we tailor the approach to the different organisational levels, aligning strategy with your people's mindset and ensuring the support needed for concrete results
At the end of the 3-step process your leaders will:
Understand their role as custodians of strategy execution
Be united as one team around the connection between strategy, culture and results
Be equipped with the narrative and coaching skills they need to own the execution
