Work with Matt
Strategy conversations matter. The right ones can unlock clarity, alignment, and momentum across your leadership team.
Is This Work Right for You?
Matt works with leadership teams facing complexity, change, or strategic overload. These are moments where growth creates new pressure, leadership has shifted, or the current strategy no longer fits.
When priorities are unclear and conversations keep circling, Matt helps teams slow down, focus, and move forward together.
Some of the common challenges
- Leadership team lacks time for strategic planning
- Too many priorities dilute focus and impact
- Strategy conversations go nowhere or repeat endlessly
- Leaders pulling different directions without alignment
- Existing plan no longer fits current challenges
- CEOs and chairs want to contribute, rather than facilitate

What the Work Looks Like
Matt creates the space for leadership teams to do their best thinking together.
That might mean a focused strategy sprint, a facilitated offsite, or a longer process that builds clarity over time. Every engagement is shaped by the organisation’s context and what success needs to look like.
Matt’s role is to guide the conversation, surface what matters, and help teams make the decisions that move things forward - not deliver answers from the outside.
The Process
Working with Matt usually starts with a short conversation to understand your context and what success looks like.
From there, the engagement might include →
1.
Discovery: Understanding your team, your goals, and what’s currently getting in the way
2.
Design: Shaping the right approach, cadence, and sessions for your needs
3.
Delivery: Facilitating the sessions, surfacing insight, and building shared clarity
4.
Debrief & Follow-Through: Making sure the strategy can move forward - and stick
5.
Documents: Co-creating the necessary strategy deliverables to support success.
What to Expect
The most common feedback Matt hears is that the work brought clarity, energy, and exactly the kind of focus the team needed to move forward.
Teams often walk away with:
- A clearer, more focused strategy that genuinely drives organisational change
- Aligned ownership across the leadership group and Board
- Better strategic conversations that continue beyond the workshop
- Implementation support that turns strategic plans into action that keeps adapting in a fast-changing environment
The outcome isn’t just a plan. It’s a more strategic team, thinking together.
What Matt’s Clients Say
"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.
