Take me to Leading with Outcomes™

• For leaders at every level of experience and scope

Trainer & facilitator programmes

• Teach certifiable training in Leading with Outcomes
• Facilitate inside-out and outside-in strategy workshops
• Access our full range of assessment tools and supporting materials

We help leaders and engaged team members at every level to gain fluency in the language of outcomes – developing and pursuing strategies together, innovating, learning, and adapting as the organisation renews and transforms itself from the inside.

Hosted by Agendashift founder Mike Burrows, a rolling series of free monthly webinars, each focussed on one of the three questions that drive us:

1. What if we put agreement on outcomes before solutions?
2. How do we keep bringing outcomes to the foreground?
3. Where – and where else – could we be developing and pursuing strategy?

All sessions live, not pre-recorded. Sessions not billed as having an invited guest will finish with an “Ask Mike Anything” (AMA) session.

The drivers for organisational change are familiar enough:

• Dynamism – levels of innovation, adaptability, and responsiveness that your customers love and your competitors can only aspire to
• Creativity – the working experience characterised by collaboration, sharing, and learning
• Wholeheartedness – an energising clarity of purpose seen at every level of organisation

But just as familiar as those drivers are these change-related obstacles:

1. Cynicism and disengagement – increasing with every failed attempt at change
2. Same old, same old – untamed forces driving the same old results
3. Innovation stifled – your innovators made irrelevant by decisions already made

Whether or not the call for change was yours, fail to deal with those obstacles in the right way and you risk becoming part of the problem. But a traditional, project-style change management approach won’t help – probably it’s what got you here in the first place

So what’s the alternative?

We took Agendashift – an open engagement model trusted by expert practitioners around the world – and from it distilled an integrated leadership and organisation development programme, Leading with Outcomes.

.

We have learned to keep asking these three questions, questions you can keep asking too:

1. What if we put agreement on outcomes before solutions?
2. How do we keep bringing outcomes to the foreground?
3. Where – and where else – could we be developing and pursuing strategy?

These deliberately non-prescriptive questions can be asked for any organisational scope – even scopes that don’t yet exist – and by leaders at any level of experience.

Where these questions can take you:

• Fluency in the language of needs, obstacles, and outcomes and in the patterns of the everyday and set-piece strategy conversation
• Sustained innovation, helped to flourish by your continued attention to outcomes – exploring them, realising them, and learning from the processs
• The vision, skill, and confidence to engaging openly with your organisation in all its complexity and potential

In short: leadership, alignment, and engagement in the pursuit of business agility at every scale.

Who we are:

• Pioneers in outcome-oriented change and continuous transformation
• Expert practitioners working at the exciting intersection of strategy, organisation development, and delivery

What makes us different:

• Our deep commitment to outcomes: not just outcomes first, but outcomes authentically agreed and kept at the forefront throughout – maximising their meaning, their significance, and their power to inspire collaboration, innovation, and renewal
• Our open framework: Having more in common with dialogic organisation development, Lean Startup, and OKR than it does with traditional change management, Agendashift is in the vanguard of a new category, the engagement model. Agendashift gives leaders at every level new ways to approach their adaptive challenges, to keep people engaged people in that process, and to keep the organisation whole as it transforms.
• Our mission: the wholehearted and Deliberately Adaptive (deliberately-adaptive.org) organisation. Not someone else’s framework to be imposed out of context, but something to pursue – a holistic integration of strategy, delivery, and organisation development that works at each scale and between scales, embedding engagement, participation, and purpose
