Strategic Thinking

Developing a winning strategy is about making choices, deciding on actions and setting a clear direction. Bad strategy leads to wasted resources, missed opportunities and decreased competitiveness.

Strategy is Creative! is an (award winning) toolkit and set of guided workshop activities designed to make strategy development inclusive, creative and easy to understand for everyone.

Strategy is Creative! helps you develop an inspiring team, function or company strategy and provide you with a plan on how to share and communicate it in the most inspiring way to your key audiences.

Visual thinking and visualisation

Strengthen communication, fuel creativity and win over hearts and minds with creative visualisation that simplifies complexity and promotes shared understanding.

Visualising and sketching allows us to capture complexity, picture outcomes and create possibilities. ‘Drawing Attention’ is my visualisation service.

About me

I have 25 years of design experience and over a decade working with consultancies across many sectors and with businesses of all shapes and sizes including enterprise, startups and charities. These include IKEA, Sainsbury’s, Farm Africa, SpecSavers and many more.

My approach

Highly inclusive and collaborative, I work closely with your teams and use visual tools and creative thinking to challenge groupthink, encourage a different perspective and generate ideas together to make breakthroughs.

Teamwork isn’t enough, I help you unleash the power of collaboration to turn your team from functioning to dynamic, and beyond.

How Might We?…

Some of the questions I have helped organisations to successfully answer in the last few years

…clearly define our digital transformation strategy and take the first actionable steps towards success?

…align our leadership teams and help them to think more strategically?

…inspire our teams to adopt and embrace a new way of dynamic working?

…encourage our employees to build more social connections so we can create more trust and break down siloes across our organisation?

…unite several teams to align on a shared vision and become one high performing team?

…embed design thinking tools and techniques so we can innovate and solve problems faster?

“Steve was the driving force in helping Daemon successfully adopt a Design Thinking mindset for our delivery whilst upskilling us at the same time. I’d highly recommend Steve to anyone looking to: explore or employ Design Thinking; to find a Creative Leader and to sprinkle some magic dust over their workshops.”
