Matt Walsh helps CEOs and leadership teams build strategy they believe in through clear facilitation and real conversation.
Matt works with leadership teams at key moments of change - scaling challenges, market shifts, new leadership, or when a current strategy has run its course.
The following challenges are both common - and fixable.
Leadership team lacks time to build new strategy
Mission creep creates too many priorities, not enough focus
Strategic conversations go nowhere or repeat endlessly
Leadership team remains not fully aligned
Board wants strategic input beyond just sign-off
Consultant-written strategy simply hasn't landed

"I couldn't be more delighted with what has now been two strategic planning days. The conversations held before the day were so in depth that Matt's planning gave us the ability to really pull out the thoughts from all board members. It was energising, productive, and gave us a clear way forward - no small feat when there's so much to consider and prioritise. It was a most valuable exercise."

“I highly recommend Matt Walsh Consulting. Over the last year Matt has worked extensively with our Board and Executive team to embed a full Strategic Mastery process, which delivered a new Strategic Plan. The process has been brilliant. Matt is an extraordinarily gifted thinker and facilitator, lifting the engagement and collaboration between the Board/Executive building clarity and excitement about our future ambitions.”
Jenny Hall, Chief Executive Officer.

This means you get a superior strategic thinking process with deep insights and thought-provoking questions, rather than the standard facilitation exercise."
