Strategy
Developing a strategy that maximizes your organization’s competitive advantage is one thing. Executing it with focus and diligence is another.
With Leslie Keen Consulting, you will experience approaches that not only help you shape your organization’s strategy, or specific strategic programs, but also support its successful execution such as:
- Designing and facilitating strategy offsites at the Board, Executive and Senior Leadership team level that engage critical stakeholders throughout the organization in collaborative, interactive, and creative ways
- Ensuring alignment and integration across multiple initiatives that contribute to achievement of strategic objectives
- Articulate the strategy in clear, concise ways whereby everyone, from the most senior to most junior person, understands their role in its execution
The Result: Focus, alignment, and accountability for execution.
“Leslie brought in a different dynamic, made us look at things from a different direction, and certainly got us where we needed to go much more quickly and more efficiently.”

Leadership
Training is an event, learning is a process. Many leaders are promoted into more senior positions or asked to lead strategic initiatives based on their technical excellence. Technical expertise is critical and foundational for organizational success, however, it’s the ‘soft stuff’ that is actually the hardest for leaders to learn and apply to be effective and deliver superior performance.
With Leslie Keen Consulting, you will experience leadership programs, be that developing core leadership skills (e.g. emotional intelligence, difficult conversations, coaching for performance) or more in-depth skills aligned to strategic change initiatives, that go beyond simple training based on sound expertise and experience in learning approaches such as:
- Introduction to core concepts through interactive bite-sized theory modules
- Supported, experiential learning ‘on the job’ comprising 3 phases: “Show, try, do”
- Coaching and mentoring, personally or through peer relationships, to apply and embed learning
The Result: Sustained leadership capability, increased confidence, and business outcomes.
“Leslie is a people developer. From the CEO, senior leadership team members, directors and managers, she provides external guidance to broaden their capabilities and mindsets to become more holistic leaders.”

Change
Successful change doesn’t happen to people, it happens with people, regardless of its pace and scale. Effective change management is NOT just about communication and training – ‘tell them once’, ‘train them up’, and ‘see how they get on’!

- Applying 7 critical levers to address in any change program tailored to your business objectives
- Directly involving and engaging key stakeholders through every step in the process to gather critical business insights and co-develop solutions
- Developing internal capabilities to manage ongoing change
The Result: Increased buy-in, speed of implementation, and certainty of success.
