Work / Strategy
Strategy +implementation.
Something isn't working the way it should. Or the next stage needs a real plan.
Bring us the vision,the problem orthe possibility.
A persistent problem. An opportunity. An existing program or organization. A vision that has reached a more complex stage. Something you need to move but can't yet see the pathway for.
You don't need to arrive knowing what service to ask for. We start by understanding what's actually there, where you're trying to go and what's standing between the two. Then we determine what the work actually requires.
The situation
You may think you need funding when the deeper issue is positioning. You may think you need more people when the actual bottleneck is a system requiring too much human effort.
The shift
We diagnose before we prescribe.
First: Diagnosis + Pathway
What exists, what the desired reality is, what's in the way, and what may need to be resourced, delegated, systematized or supported.
- 01Where are you now?
- 02Where are you actually trying to go?
- 03What's standing between the two?
- 04What matters now?
- 05What can wait?
- 06What can you build with existing capacity?
- 07What additional capacity will the next stage require?
Now / Next / Later
Now
What can move with the capacity and resources available today?
Next
What needs to be strengthened, built or resourced next?
Later
What belongs in a future stage rather than becoming today's distraction?
Do what you can with what you have until you can do more.
Starting with what's available doesn't mean staying there.
A strategyshouldn't diein a deck.
After diagnosis, the work can move in different directions.
You carry it.
You leave with enough clarity and direction to move the work forward yourself.
You build capacity.
The pathway identifies what people, resources, systems, tools or expertise need to be developed around the work.
We build together.
When the work requires deeper implementation support, GHD may continue into an appropriate build engagement.
Not every engagement becomes a larger one. The aim is for the work to stand on its own.
We don't manufacture dependency.
Implementation is real
Sometimes GHD helps define the pathway.
Sometimes the pathway reveals something that needs to be built.
Sometimes GHD is positioned to help build it.
