Achieve business breakthroughs using
St. George’s Den©
An efficient, effective diagnostic tool to achieve new insights,
greater clarity, renewed energy and enthusiasm
Business leadership and management can be stressful and lonely, especially when
the pressure is on and the stakes are high.
Do you sometimes wish you had truly independent, trusted advisers you could turn to
for support when you most needed it; people who really understand the issues
you’re facing because they’ve been there themselves and who genuinely want to
help, without hidden agendas or conflicts of interest?
Great news! There’s an answer - St. George’s Den©.
We provide an experienced, dynamic team in a boardroom environment to listen,
question and ultimately suggest creative solutions to the challenges your business
faces right now. Half a day of your time, to explore new avenues and see your
business in a different light. While clients initially see this as a “one-off” the value
gained encourages regular Dens, perhaps quarterly.
“Shattering!”
“Exhilarating. It left
me wanting more.”
“An enthusiastic
group of seasoned
professionals.”
“A constructive and
positive experience”
“I used the outputs to
great effect within 30
minutes of seeing it
for the first time,
immediately engaging
my team. Brilliant!”
“Productive debate”
“Simple, practical and
appropriate ways
forward”
“A great team with
wide experience.”
Whatever the context, St George’s Den© can work for you
Sustained Turnaround: You need to head off crises perhaps through
radical changes in the business—but at the same time retaining all that is
good. Clear thinking is critical, you need objective and confidential inputs.
Successful Start-Up: Things have gone well so far—but how to jump to
the next level? How to release the potential of the team you have? How
to maintain delivery to existing customers while reaching out to new
markets and opportunities?
Renewal & Evolutionary Growth: Staying still is never an option.
The company is going well—but you know that vitality and freshness
is essential to maintain success. What is the next step in the evolution
of your business?
Stretching Towards Bold Visions: This might not be something you
can share with your team. Do you have a bold vision? Do you think you
need one? Let the St George’s Knights help you define the vision.
Its format can vary, but typically four highly experienced Board level businesspeople
(the ‘Knights of St. George’) work with you confidentially round the table for half a
day to tackle the issues and challenges keeping you awake at night.
How a St. George’s Den© works
The meeting is chaired to ensure the format is adhered to—CREATE: First we accurately assess Current Reality,
then we Evaluate Alternatives and finally Target Energy onto practical solutions. The Knights get the chance to
show you what they can do, individually and collectively. St. George’s Dens© are often so successful that one or
more of them are engaged sooner or later as non-executive directors, interim managers, advisors or business
coaches. And they create a positive legacy with delighted clients who often recommend them to others.
“I certainly found our recent day exhilarating and it left me wanting more. I know you guys can take the conversation to a different level.” Business Improvement Manager, large insurance company
“I met with a varied, enthusiastic group of
seasoned professionals. Their questioning really challenged my understanding and assumptions about the current and future state of play. Their feedback was acutely accurate which proved I had been heard and understood - this was great, but then they amazed me with some outstanding ideas to take my work forward. These were simple, practical and appropriate.
Newly-appointed Global Head of People Development, large American bank, two weeks before relocating from London to Chicago to take up the position
“You provided a great team with wide experience.
We had a productive debate on the issues facing my business and me personally, which led on to some use-ful areas to follow up. All the team members listened well and provided helpful insights.”
