The Approach
Three places teams get stuck. We work all three.
Strategy stalls. Decisions slow down. Ownership blurs. Unblocking a team is rarely one fix. This is why we work on them together.
Strategic Clarity
A direction your team co-creates and commits to.
We cut through the noise to a sharp, concrete strategic intent and the real trade-offs behind it. Not an industry report. A direction your team owns because they helped shape it.
Between 60 and 90% of strategic plans never leave the page.
Harvard Business Review
“Unblock helped us accelerate the realization of our strategy, improve our decision-making and meetings. They strike the right balance between theory and very practical tools and support.”
Tomek Zwiercan · Managing Director, GLS
People Dynamics
The trust and candor to perform under pressure.
We name what’s really going on between people, resolve it, and build the trust, feedback, and ownership that high performance runs on.
Organizations with strong, aligned, cohesive leadership teams see a 59% increase in employee engagement and a 24% reduction in turnover.
Gallup
“Unblock helped us improve our leadership team. Years later, we still use the practices they taught us. It hugely improved how we meet.”
Mike O'Riordan · SVP EMEA and APAC, Ingredion
Operating System
How the organization decides, meets, and delivers results.
We upgrade your ways of working: decision-making methods, role clarity, meeting rhythms and practices, team design. The result is progress that doesn’t depend on heroics.
From blocked
To unblocked
“The tools they gave us, even-overs, safe-to-try, the check-in questions in our weekly stand-ups, turned us into a team with clear direction and high-speed execution.”
MARIUS BRAND · TECHNICAL LEAD, MCI
What we don’t do
You can’t restructure your way to execution.
We work on how your organization operates, not your org chart. We don’t redesign org charts hoping behavior will follow. And we don’t deliver strategy decks that gather dust.
How we do it
Start by starting.
Start by starting.
We let your team identify where it's stuck or held back by outdated ways of working, then teach and facilitate ways to overcome them, inside the existing work.
Strategic alignment.
We help create an inspiring, concrete, and actionable Strategic Intent, and face the reality of implementation and trade-offs honestly.
Adopt a strategic rhythm.
We help the team establish a cadence of fit-for-purpose meetings to track 90-day Outcomes and steering metrics, and capture learning from execution.
Courageous conversations.
We create space for the harder conversations about behavior, work styles, and concerns, and turn them into agreements the team commits to.
METHODS WE’RE
KNOWN FOR
Even-Over statements (explicit trade-offs), clear decision rights, 90-day outcome cycles, a strategic operating rhythm, and team and role chartering.
Entry points that deepen
From a single offsite, to deep embedding
A talk or keynote.
A session that shifts how a leadership team thinks and gives them a shared language for unblocking execution.
In practice: at Henry Schein, a keynote grew into a working session that took a siloed executive team to one aligned team.
A leadership offsite or workshop.
Facilitated sessions that produce decisions and alignment, not just discussion. Often the first real engagement.
In practice: at Norvato, a single facilitated offsite strengthened an eight-month-old executive team and realigned them on a changed course.
A full engagement.
The integrated work across all three pillars, shaped to your situation.
In practice: at Egala, a CEO transition became a full transformation, offsites, board coaching, a new strategy, and a programme for the top 25 leaders.
Executive coaching and advisory.
The deepened, ongoing relationship: strengthening the team, accelerating decisions, embedding ownership.
In practice: at Motion Controls International, we coached a new unit's three-person leadership team and embedded a rhythm that lets them keep steering themselves.
