Strategy consultants for leadership teams that want to decide.
We help leadership teams turn a crowded agenda into a clear strategy: the few priorities that matter, agreed by the people who have to deliver them.
Our facilitators have worked with
When leaders call us
- Too many priorities and not enough focus
- A strategy that exists on paper but not in daily decisions
- A new CEO or a new leadership team
- Annual planning or a leadership offsite coming up
A good strategy fits on one page. Getting there takes the right conversations.
The Brightspots promiseStrategy built on your strengths
Many strategy processes start with a long list of problems. We start with your strengths: where you already win, and how to build on it. That gives your strategy energy and credibility.
Find the bright spots
Somewhere in your organisation, a team already gets it right. We find these moments before the workshop, in short interviews and a quick pulse check.
See why they work
In the room, your people take these successes apart: what exactly do they do differently, and what makes it possible?
Choose what to copy
The group decides which few behaviours to spread. Focus wins: three changes people carry out beat ten that stay on a slide.
Leave with owners
Every decision gets a name, a first step and a date. You walk out with a plan your team built and wants to deliver.
Inspired by the "bright spots" principle that Chip and Dan Heath describe in their book Switch.
Strategy consulting, step by step
Choose the modules you need. We combine them into one clear plan around what should be different afterwards.
Strategy diagnosis
Interviews with your leaders and a clear look at market, customers and performance.
Outcome: a shared view of where you stand
Leadership strategy offsite
Your leadership team agrees on direction, priorities and the few bets that matter.
Outcome: a one-page strategy everyone stands behind
Priorities and OKRs
We turn the strategy into a handful of measurable objectives with clear owners.
Outcome: focused OKRs your teams commit to
Strategy workshops with your teams
Teams translate the strategy into what it means for their work.
Outcome: alignment from leadership to teams

Regular reviews check progress, learn from results and adjust priorities.
Outcome: a living strategy, not a document

Questions about our strategy consultants
Do you develop the strategy for us or with us?
With you. We bring structure, good questions, facts and constructive challenge. Your leadership team makes the choices, which is why the strategy is carried after the offsite.
Can you combine strategy work with OKRs?
Yes. Turning strategy into a few measurable objectives is one of our strengths. Jörn Steinz is our OKR expert and has supported companies with OKRs since 2019.
How long does a strategy engagement take?
From a single leadership offsite to support over several months. In a short briefing call we agree on the scope that fits your planning cycle.
Where do the workshops take place?
At your office, at a venue of your choice, or at an offsite location we help you find, in Copenhagen, Dublin, Paris, Barcelona, Zurich or anywhere else in Europe. We also run online and hybrid sessions.
How quickly can we start?
Often within a few weeks. After a short briefing call you receive a tailored workshop design, and we block dates together.
What does a workshop cost?
Every workshop is designed for your goal, so we quote after a short briefing call. You receive a clear offer that includes preparation, facilitation and documentation of results.
What should be different after your workshop?
Share your goal, your group and your timing. You get an answer within 24 hours, and a first workshop design after a short briefing call.
