Scenario-based Strategy

Scenario–based Strategy helps your organisation anticipate the important external dynamics that will shape your future. Scenarios are a set of plausible, relevant and challenging stories about the future. Forecasts attempt to predict one "official" future; Scenario–based Strategy leads to a portfolio of several plausible futures. It will enable your organisation and your leadership to learn, prepare for the future and make better decisions today. Building scenarios is a continuous process that provides competitive advantages now and in the future. (Learn More)

Strategic Alignment

Alignment exists when the organisation responds as a whole. The plan is not the planning document but the set of assumptions on which the leadership bases its decisions and actions. When these assumptions are similar, then actions are executed in an aligned way. Our set of methods and tools institutionalises management processes to ensure vertical and horizontal alignment. Vision-based strategy, working with Business Models and integrating Performance Management with Scenario-based Strategy are the building blocks of alignment. (Learn More)

Systems Thinking

It’s the unforeseen, unexpected events that disrupt our live and businesses. Not all these events can be predicted, but looking at the world from a systemic point of view helps uncover causal relationships hidden from view. Faced with a problematic event we often look for the "part" that does not work. Systems Thinking assists in making our assumptions visible and uncovers the underlying influences and structure of a problem, avoiding symptom treatment.  Our techniques have been developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology - (MIT). CIL has integrated additional insights from corporate and social environments to further complement the learning. (Learn More)

Leadership Development

Leadership and management produce shareholder value for a prosperous future. They translate corporate strategy and vision into operational results. They must focus energy, motivate their people, make processes more effective and anticipate external and internal developments and learn how to stand for specific values, and a strategic direction. CIL leadership programmes provide time-tested techniques to make this possible in your organisation.  (Learn More)
