strategy facilitation for professional services firms
When partners and principals need to agree on direction, an external facilitator removes the politics and accelerates the outcome.
Professional services firms face a particular strategic challenge: the people who set the strategy are the same people who deliver the work. Partners and principals hold strong views, carry competing client demands and rarely have the time or inclination for an unstructured planning session. The result is often either no planning at all, or a session that revisits familiar ground without reaching resolution.
​
Turning Leaf facilitators understand the dynamics of partnership and principal-led firms. We know how to design a process that respects the intelligence in the room while bringing enough structure to move from discussion to decision. Our approach works for law firms, accounting practices, consulting firms, engineering businesses and specialist advisory groups.
