WHEN people GROW, THINGS CHANGE

“Laurence is extremely perceptive and is able to zero in quickly to help you identify what really drives the problems you face and help you come to potential solutions” John Evison, Associate Partner OC&C

We live in an age where new ideas and new challenges can appear from anywhere, any time – as we now all know – reshaping businesses and strategies over night. As the pace of change picks up we have an opportunity to tap into this energy within our own system rather than to wait for it to take us by surprise.

Moving away from the paradigm that leaders must individually supply the insights, answers and decisions that guide their teams, a skilful leader knows how to access a much bigger field of data: the collective intelligence of the many.

Unsticking a key team of leaders requires a space where safe conflict, powerful ideation and self-organising codes of conduct are allowed to emerge. Whether it be with a group or with one other person, I create a space for reflection that makes more possible. A bigger network is created, with greater capacity to generate solutions and insights.

The power of Laurence’s approach stems from a unique ability to combine the best of psychology, organisational behaviour and business strategy. His work always feels bespoke and personal, and not drawn from a standard repertoire of frameworks and contents. His work has stimulated long term improvement throughout our organisation.
