Client A newly merged leadership team.

Challenge Decision meetings dragged and execution slipped. Competing leadership styles created gridlock.

What we measured Decision-making culture profiles. The heatmap showed almost half of leaders prioritised competition and results, and almost half prioritised collaboration and consensus, with innovation and structure under-represented. This imbalance made agreement hard and slowed delivery.

What we did

• Helped leaders spot cultural blind spots that shaped their choices

• Agreed shared decision principles that balanced speed, innovation, structure and collaboration

• Brought quieter, under-represented voices into the process

Impact

• Decisions made in minutes, not hours

• Leadership aligned on goals and trade-offs

• Trust and engagement improved across the team

What they learned “We were not fighting each other. We were fighting our own assumptions.”
