Organization
Every organization faces wicked challenges.
Sudden drops in results. A security hole. Customer churn. Or any of an infinite number of others. Typically, leaders talk to their executive team, and try to find and solve the problem. Often that works. When it doesn't work, Guerrilla Strategy does.
How does it work?
1
You schedule your Guerrilla Strategy Session (you can include an additional colleague if you’d like).
2
Complete a comprehensive information form so that we don’t waste time during the session (it includes an NDA).
3
Pay the invoice when it arrives.(Guerrilla Strategy Sessions are $850 prepaid).
4
Attend the session.
You bring your intransigent problem to the session. Then, we have a deep and unfiltered two-hour conversation in which we:
- Uncover both the actual problem and its root cause, and
- Generate strategic avenues to solve the root cause (or alter the context so the problem vanishes).
You leave with clear, testable next steps.
Working with an outsider–one who is an expert in strategy and collaborative problem solving–makes a huge difference.
It’s so efficient that by this time next week you could be implementing the solution.
Why Does Guerilla Strategy It Work?
There are several things working against you when you try to solve a wicked problem with just your team.
AN Outsider
So the outsider (in this case, me or my colleague) can question assumptions. Often, that’s what creates a new possibility.
Redefine The Problem
The problem may not be what it seems. Defining a problem is more complex than it seems. And if it isn’t defined in the best way, solutions can’t emerge. That isn’t to suggest that you don’t know what your problem is. But when we rigorously define it together, often, the entire challenge morphs.
habit Disruption
Within your team, you have established ways of talking and of trying to solve problems. As human beings, we always create fixed patterns of communication with the people we see and talk to often. Adding professional facilitation interrupts that pattern. Because of that, you and your colleague may say and hear new things from each other and yourselves.
