Where Integrity, Purpose And People Prevail

"In a crisis, only the strongest strive for responsibility".  Henry Kissinger

 

Take today's turbulent and risk-beset global economy, add transparency demanded by round-the-clock media and it is fair to say that organisations are experiencing an unprecedented need to perform under pressure.  Proactive and capable leadership at all levels is now essential to business survival.  OCTO offers unique levels of leadership experience from many years of leading at the highest levels in extreme circumstances. We work from Board level and across all management disciplines to:

• Select your leaders of the future - accurately
• Develop leaders to perform under pressure
• Recover failing projects
• Coach top executives for sensitive, high-pressure roles

 

Select your leaders of the future - accurately

Immersive , interactive sessions designed to identify leadership potential.  Used to great effect in for instance, the nuclear industry and senior levels of government.  Services include:

• Identify key characteristics required in your specific organisation
• Assess performance under scenarios of increasing controlled pressure
• Specialist and highly experienced assessment teams
• Personal debriefing and recommendations for development

 

Develop leaders to perform under pressure

Interactive seminars to develop techniques for leading teams to success in the face of extreme challenges and against the odds.  Participants are immersed in stimulating business management scenarios whilst maintaining a necessary distance between the learning concepts and the details of the workplace.  Participants will learn:

• Managing high pressure projects
• Leadership and empowerment techniques
• Team working and team building techniques
• Facilitation and change management techniques
• Conflict resolution techniques

 

Recover failing projects

Our expertise in crisis management and leadership allied to qualified and experienced programme/project managers allows OCTO to practice what it preaches, offering clients a unique opportunity to get failing change initiatives back on track.  Examples of our project recovery services include:

• Programme and project health checks, identifying key weaknesses and providing corrective action recommendations
• Programme and project facilitation, working with sponsors and managers to recover the cost, time and quality triangle and realise the expected benefits
• Programme and project management, undertaking the delivery of complex and critical changes from a realistic business case
• Value Management Benchmarking and Earned Value tracking, identifying why a project did not deliver and preparing improvement recommendations for future change initiatives
• Cross sector partnering, sharing lessons and good practice

 

Coach top executives for sensitive, high pressure roles

It is difficult to find credible peers prepared to share strategic leadership experiences and to offer guidance within your parameters.  OCTO fields the very best in executive coaches, drawing the shared experiences of industrial captains and military strategists and planners.
