A facilitator-led strategic response sprint that helps your leadership team respond to tariffs and trade disruption, make clear decisions and prepare for what may come next – with only two days of leadership-team meeting time.
Tariffs and trade disruption are already affecting costs, margins, customer demand, supply chains and investment decisions. Waiting for certainty may seem prudent, but delay can narrow the organization’s options and make a coherent response more difficult.
Different leaders may see different risks, favour different responses or hesitate to act while conditions continue to change. NAVIGATE helps the leadership team establish a shared view of the situation, understand where the organization is most exposed, decide what to do now and prepare for what may come next.
NAVIGATE is designed for intact leadership teams confronting serious uncertainty and
consequential decisions. It is particularly relevant when:
NAVIGATE is not a theoretical course or a comprehensive strategic planning exercise. The team works directly on the circumstances, exposures and decisions confronting the organization now.
NAVIGATE is delivered over 10 business days through three facilitated working sessions: two half-day sessions and one full-day session. Before, between and after the sessions, our experienced facilitator analyzes the team’s input, develops scenarios and translates its decisions into practical tools for action.
AI may support activities such as synthesizing information, surfacing assumptions and testing alternatives, but the leadership team retains responsibility for every judgment, decision and commitment.
A sponsor discussion, confidential participant questionnaire and targeted review of relevant information identify the most important uncertainties, exposures and decisions.
Establish a shared fact base, assess the organization’s exposure and identify the assumptions and decisions requiring leadership attention.
Test current plans against plausible developments, evaluate response options and determine what to do now, prepare for or reconsider.
Confirm priorities, responsibilities, decision triggers, milestones, leadership messages and the focused 90-day plan.
By the end of NAVIGATE, your team will have three practical tools:
Thirty days after completion, a virtual progress review tests assumptions, reviews trigger conditions, addresses obstacles and confirms any required adjustments to the 90-Day Strategic Response Plan.
Best for: intact executive, senior, divisional, business-unit or functional leadership teams facing disruption and uncertainty that require a clear, coordinated response.
NAVIGATE is one of four related Mastering Strategy programs, each designed for a different situation:
Not sure which program fits? A short conversation is the fastest way to find out.
What decisions can no longer wait – and what should your team be prepared to do next?
