Leadership teams must realize that they don’t exist simply to create operational checks and balances, they must co-create and co-deliver on a strategy that meets the expectations of all their key partners in the ecosystem.
Odgers Berndtson’s Strategic Team Coaching (STC) is a powerful outcomes-driven process designed specifically for CEOs and senior leadership teams. Through a partnership with our certified team coaches, we co-create tailored programs that address the unique dynamics and needs of the senior leadership team’s and organization’s ecosystem.
Our approach doesn’t just build capabilities; it aligns executive teams around a shared vision, strengthens collaboration, and ensures the team is equipped to navigate current and future challenges, seize opportunities, and drive sustained success. With STC, executive teams don’t just adapt, they thrive.
Our Strategic Team Coaching (STC) process helps leadership teams:
- Navigate shifting global and regional business priorities with agility and foresight.
- Translate the CEO’s vision for business and culture transformation into actionable strategies and measurable outcomes.
- Accelerate the speed and quality of critical decisions, bridging gaps between strategic vision and execution and ensuring team efforts are laser-focused on organizational priorities.
- Strengthen the executive team’s effectiveness, enabling them to align, collaborate, and drive measurable performance improvements
- Exceed the expectations of investors and partners, driving sustainable ROI and building long-term trust with ecosystem partners.
- Build high value-creating teams that continuously co-create beneficial value with, and for, all their ecosystem partners.
A high-value creating team is a small number of people with complementary skills who are committed to a common purpose, performance goals, and a shared approach. They hold each other mutually accountable and focus on effectively meeting and communicating, engaging with all key partners, and continually learning and developing. (Hawkins, 2021)
