What if you could lay out your roadmap for transformation in the next 90 minutes,

with top tier consulting input,

minus the hefty price tag?

When COVID hit, the tourism industry in New Zealand lost roughly 80% of our revenue overnight.  We overhauled our legacy tech stack, shifted our cost base from high fixed overhead to a variable cost model that could flex with demand, AND we did it all with a zero cost implementation.

Sometimes all the pieces are there, but things aren’t quite falling into place. And sometimes the pieces are missing entirely 🤣

Whether you’re looking for a substantial 90 day plan to make an impact, or you’re looking for a new lever to pull when all else has failed, finding the ideas and the practical know-how to get results can take a whole lot of time and energy if you’re DIY-ing the material, or a whole lotta money if you’re bringing in external advice.

How do we find that right blend of innovation and creativity that still makes the numbers and ensures our organizations are resilient, responsive, and ready to thrive?

We’ve been told that agile delivery practices mean faster and more customer-focused outcomes.

We’ve been sold cloud solutions for greater flexibility, security, speed to market and business continuity as we decommission data centers.

We’ve been sold AI for productivity while filling out the responsible practice questionnaire that says it won’t replace jobs - but how else do we make the cost savings?

We’re sold the fear that if we fall behind, we’ll never catch up. The pressure is all about better, faster, stronger. Year after year, 7% off the cost base, doing more with less, “efficiency” in delivery organizations.

But productivity isn’t solely about doing things better - it’s also about doing better things.

The honest truth? Transformation means doing a 180 on almost everything we learned in business school.

This shit is hard

Hi, I’m danelle (it’s like “Danielle”, but no “i”) and I’ve been leading and supporting transformation programs in multi-thousand seat global corporate organizations for 20 years.

My experience has crossed industries, countries, and disciplines in large companies and startups that were looking for real change.

  • Some were backed into a corner - costs escalating with no clear way forward.

  • Some were looking for innovation - think tanks given every resource to explore what was possible.

What I learned is that we need a change in perception, a paradigm shift - in ourselves, and in the way we structure and operate our organizations.

In addition to rapid delivery techniques, we need to learn how to understand value, waste and failure in our businesses and radically reorient around that. And we need our customers, and our people, front and center of everything we do.

90 days in 90 minutes - Your 90 day plan for transformation

What you get:

  • A 90 minute call, where we audit what’s currently going on in your business, and zero-in on a strategy that lays the groundwork for transformative change.

  • Clarity about your plan for the next 90 days, that will transform your impact, and your organization.

  • A personalized playbook with full access to the tools, techniques, practical strategies and case studies you’ll need to implement the plan.

  • Video recording so you can revisit our discussion when you need it.

Usually, to get access to this information you’d need to hire a consultant with a fairly chunky day rate and spend months working up a good looking slide pack.

  • With this, you get all the goodies, without the protracted time scale. 

  • We’ll work together to build a strategy to address the challenges and opportunities you’re most focused on, and I’ll share the practical tools for implementation and insight so you can continue this work on your own time.

  • You’ll have access to learn from everything I’ve got - agile software development and portfolio management practices, systems thinking interventions, Kantor’s structural dynamics, and a theoretical framework rooted in decoloniality and partnerism applied in the leadership space.

Here’s How This Works

❉ Fill in the booking form below to get started

Tell me about your work, what’s challenging you today, the opportunities you want to leap into, and what you want to work on during our time together. You can say as much or as little as you want - what you choose to share will help me to understand ahead of time what might work best for you, and prepare for our time together.

❉ We book an initial call to set the scene, share some context and decide if any materials are needed before our 90 minute call - usually takes 15 minutes, about a week ahead.

Before we meet, I’ll reach out to organize a quick chat where we can clarify your goals or intention for the session, and what you’re hoping to achieve. This supports both of us to get grounded in the work and make the most of our time together in the session.

❉ We meet for 90 minutes, after which you’ll receive a personalized playbook and recording of the call for your reference.

During our time together, you’ll have my full attention, and total access to top tier consulting strategies from 20+ years of transforming large scale, global organizations. You are welcome to take notes, of course, but also know that we’ll record the session so you have it for reference. Once we’re done, I’ll distill our conversation into a personalized playbook that outlines your roadmap, plus the necessary tools and tactics to work that strategy. You’ll have a clear, coherent, and tailored 90 day plan with clear priorities, as well as a view into the next quarter so you can focus, and keep momentum.

At the end of our time together, you’ll have clarity on the strategy for change, as well as the key practices that will drive insight in your organization for continuous learning and change.

We’ll set the foundation for your team to self-manage ongoing improvement, with a core set of metrics that ensure you’re on top of what’s happening and how you’re progressing towards your goals.

Your strategy playbook includes:

  • Clarity on what to prioritize based on your organizational context for results, fast, and the roadmap for success.

  • The key metrics and supporting data collection plan to ensure you stay focused and aligned on what’s most important.

  • Orienting frameworks that support your team to work on the portfolio, not only in the business of delivery.

I can’t promise that you’ll make bonus, or that we’ll find the one magical key that unlocks everything (newsflash, there are no silver bullets anymore).

I can’t promise that we’ll save $1m a year on your IT stack, or that we’ll take 30% cost out in 6 months - but I can show you the techniques that did get those results for other customers.

“Danelle’s  guidance, insights, reassurance and enthusiasm not only during this initiative but over the subsequent years which have followed  have been sought out and immensely valued by myself.”
