We will begin by working with you to understand your firm’s context: its situation, goals and objectives.

Through a series of discussions and interviews we will jointly define your desired culture, clarify your desired strategic position and discuss the behaviours, skills and processes we would expect to see that embody and reinforce these cultural and strategic ambitions.

Your desired strategic position and culture will define the specific skills and behaviours you need to develop through your professional development strategy and ‘how’ they should be learned and embodied throughout your firm and with clients.
