Natural Logic has always brought an
integrative approach to its work, but
sometimes that made it challenging to
communicate
what we do -- and what you get -- since we
don't do just one thing.
Our clients are increasingly looking for
comprehensive strategies and solutions,
recognizing that piecemeal won't do the
job. But they still often ask "where do we
start?"
So let me sum it up in three options,
each at a different scale of intensity,
tailored to your organization's needs and
readiness:
1. Strategic Briefings
2. Rapid Diagnostics
3. Comprehensive Engagements
1. Strategic briefings
On as little as one week's notice, our CEO
and Senior Associates will conduct a
customized, confidential briefing (half-day
to full-day) for your executive team on key
trends and emerging issues.
Results: A clear picture of the
strategic landscape you face; identification of
your immediate
and emerging operating opportunities; and a
preliminary evaluation of your current
capacities to exploit them.
2. Rapid Diagnostics
We will provide a rigorous diagnosis (in as
little as two weeks) of your present state
and key opportunities in one or more of the
following domains:
Strategy: Is your sustainability
strategy sufficient to the challenges and
opportunities you face? And is it
sufficiently integrated with your business
strategy?
Metrics: What is the health of your
organization's Corporate Performance
Management (CPM) system? How do you
measure
your sustainability progress? How well do
you
use those measures to drive that progress?
Operations: Are you still spending
more of your potential profits than you
absolutely must
on energy, water, waste water, materials and
waste management?
Carbon: Do you know your carbon
footprint? Are you adequately prepared to
profitably reduce it?
Risk: Are you fully aware of - and
prepared to deal with - both the "inevitable
surprises" and the unpredictable changes
your
business will face in the coming years?
Capacity: Does your organization
have
the capacity - in leadership, communications,
agility, change management and general
competence - to get the job done?
Results: We will deliver a frank
assessment of your gaps and opportunities,
our prioritized recommendations of how
you can move against them, and a
roadmap for effective action to reduce costs,
risk and impacts, while building profit,
brand and your capacity to manage in
difficult times.
3. Comprehensive Engagements
When your organization is ready to take on
the systemic change, we'll show you how to
make a new assessment of the situation at
your company and your extended supply
chain
network. We will work beside you as you get
into action to respond to what you find, and
ensure that you effectively and consistently
harvest the value that you identify.
This work proceeds in a five-phase cycle:
Engage
- Brief your leadership on key trends
- Surface your aspirations & concerns
Assess
- Assess practices & performance
- Map strategic landscape
Design
- Design profitable, implementable, scalable
practices - and supporting systems - to
traverse that landscape
- No excuses. "Good ideas that could not be
implemented" is an excuse for bad
design.
Implement/Mobilize
- Focus, train, and support your internal and
external stakeholders to deliver results
- Embed/operationalize/internalize
Evaluate
- Measure & evaluate financial & physical
results
- Establish systems to track & drive
performance
- Quarterly metrics review & tune-up
Results:
- Immediate cost savings
- Strategic path to build capacity
- Hard-to-copy competitive advantage
- Integrated performance measurement
framework
- New interpretations and a path to a new
future
- Not less than 10x ROI, and in less than 2
years
