Sentient Strategy®

For Leaders and Founders

Simple, affordable, and highly effective strategy formulation that gets implemented and drives results

Every business needs a sound strategy to guide decisions and growth, but there’s a problem…

  • It’s expensive

  • It often results in little or no change

  • It takes a long time and is often obsolete as soon as consensus is reached

  • Without one, you’re leaving your growth to chance

  • It’s rigid and hard to pivot in the face of disruption, volatility, and abrupt change (look at our current world!)

Thankfully there’s a solution.

Introducing: Sentient Strategy® 

Sentient Strategy® is a revolutionary approach to the traditional lengthy discussions that take weeks to produce a strategy that is obsolete as soon as a consensus is finally reached. 

The Sentient approach is meant to formulate strategy quickly, to be used immediately for as long as conditions warrant, and then to make changes rapidly as conditions change.  In times like these, you need a strategy that can be formulated in a matter of days, not weeks.

The Sentient Strategy® formula, originally created by Dr. Alan Weiss, is based on two elements:

  • Awareness of the environment: How well do you (the enterprise) view and understand the environment in which you now operate and will operate?

  • Consciousness of available actions: How well informed are you of the actions available to you that are appropriate and effective, and the consequences of taking action or not?

The goal of Sentient Strategy® is to build a flexible strategic approach that reliably takes your organisation to a desired new, near-term state. 

It takes strategy from formulation to implementation. With proper preparation work and discipline, an executive team can complete the formulation process within a week and begin to implement their strategy immediately.

Why Sentient Strategy®?

  • “In the moment” and able to accommodate disruption, volatility, and abrupt change—whether an outside introduction of an inside initiative.

  • Allow the identification of the priority sentient factors for consideration and diverts resources from low priority factors.

  • Easily implemented and readily embraces all levels below the strategy formulation group.

  • Serves as an ongoing and daily template for decision making and is not a dusty binder on a neglected shelf.

  • Serves equally well for non-profits, charities, governmental units, and for-profits.

  • Creates “boundaries” or a “playing field” for moving toward the future, within which key decisions are made.

  • Simple to create metrics for all key officers and stakeholders given the agreed-upon priorities.

  • Less investment than any major strategy initiative.

If you want to create a strategy in a day, and not a week, one that will move with your business and NOT sit on a shelf, contact Leanne to discuss further.

Once you get your deliverables, you have 30 days email and voice note support (Leanne on Demand) for follow-up. This is available virtually or in-person in Brisbane (or, if you’re willing to fund travel, I'm there!).

Benefits to coming to Brisbane

Should you choose Brisbane, your Red Carpet Experience will be heightened with:

  • Complimentary airport transfers in my convertible, BANGKOK, a taste of luxury right from the start. You get to decide whether you want top up/top down, and also request your favourite songs.
