Advanced Organisational Strategy (AOS) Events

Your Advanced Organisational Strategy events coincide with a specific need for your business and lead to excellent outcomes. These events are customed tailored to help you solve an organisational challenge or to answer a key exploratory question for you. The AOS focuses on two main objectives – to create a specific ‘How to’ for solving an existing problem; and to create a series of ‘what ifs’ in an assessment of the future. You’ll work with Marcus Barber, arguably one of Australia’s most innovative futurists in a program that will nudge, guide, cajole and push your thinking to greatly enhanced levels

The timing of these sessions is subject to availability – yours and ours. They will be customised based on the available and required resources, the personnel involved and whether the session is targeted at a ‘What If…’ or ‘How To..’ outcome. Contact us today to find out more
