For 35 years, I have supported leaders and organizations in achieving sustainable breakthroughs in performance. Trained as an economist, I realized early in my career that getting to the right answer is at most 20% of the solution. Unlocking and mobilizing an organization’s creative and productive potential to implement solutions is the bigger challenge. Experience shows that co-discovery, co-design and the engagement of those responsible for making changes work is the key to sustainable improvement.
