Clarify
A roadmap for delivering your responsible business objectives - helping you get clear on priorities and implement change
When it comes to making progress on their responsible business objectives, lots of our clients face the following challenges
Want to do this but don’t know what steps to take or what to prioritise
Don’t know how to work together across the business to deliver change effectively
Have no idea how much it’s going to cost or what help they might need
Our Clarify solution is a practical one-day working session that gives you the clarity you need to move forward
Helps you develop a prioritised roadmap, identifying different work streams and quick wins
Establishes a set of principles for how to deliver change in a manageable way
Gives clarity on where budget and external support will be needed
Our approach
To give you clarity, we work with you following our proven five-step approach:
Context
We identify your starting point to make sure we create a plan that’s right for your business and your current context.
Connect
We step back and look at the big picture to identify how responsible business aligns with your overarching business strategy.
Create
We create a prioritised roadmap, split into different work streams, and identify key milestones and objectives.
Change
We create a set of principles for delivering change, bespoke to your business and based on your experience of delivering change.
Commit
We identify what budget and resource is needed to deliver the roadmap.
What it looks like
After our one-day working session, we write up your roadmap for you using your branded PowerPoint template. You can then use this as an internal communications tool, including to agree budget and align on next steps.
Roadmap
A high level roadmap on a page that is broken down into work streams and phased across different different time periods
Objectives
Objectives for each time period so everyone is clear on priorities and what the business is aiming to achieve
Change principles
An approach to change that aligns with your culture, enabling you to sustain change for the long-term.
Resource
Clarity on where budget and resource (internal and external) is needed to deliver the roadmap.
Why work with us?
‘What’ AND' ‘how’
It’s easy to spend all your time focused on ‘what’ you want to do and making the plans to deliver it. But, when it comes to the crunch, a strategy or plan is only words on a page if the people whose habits and behaviours need to change do nothing different.
In all our work, we make sure there is as much focus on the people side of change - the ‘how’.
Business experience
Everyone who works with our clients has experience of working within business, often as senior leaders in large established organisations.
We understand the commercial pressures and practical realities of leading and delivering change.
Wherever possible we connect your impact strategy and objectives to your core business strategy and priorities.
Pragmatic approach
We are often recognised for being pragmatic and action-oriented.
We take the time to understand your business and ensure your strategy and roadmap that are realistic and relevant to your specific business context.
What our clients have said
Today we have the perfect roadmap. The session transformed our approach by providing a manageable timeline and clear priorities, enabling me to confidently share the plan with my team. The entire experience has not only simplified our processes but has also instilled a renewed sense of direction and confidence in our ability to drive sustainable, long-term change.
The one day Clarify session was the key, it brought together all the great things we are doing, reminded us of the things we still need to do and put everything into a manageable and realistic plan.
Anyone thinking of working with Keartland & Co should simply take the leap, trust in the process and enjoy the benefits of the Clarify session, which will truly impact everything you do moving forwards.
Tom Coppin, CIO, WGC
Super session with Hannah and Nicky and a group of passionate people who care from across our business.
We mapped out all the brilliant work that's already happening (a lot), and where there is the ambition to do more. Importantly we discussed what we should not do. All whilst being mindful of our collective capacity and the constraints of working in a busy, commercial, B2B service business.
Jessica Mullen, Chief Innovation & Design Officer, CreateFuture
The combination of Hannah’s expertise and Nicky’s change knowledge allowed for a really productive session, which gave us the clarity on the next steps as well as some long-term vision. It consolidated our learning and ideas into action.
Having that outside perspective in a focused manner was very valuable allowing real clarity of thought. The summary document that followed it up then meant we had a tool to educate others in the business. It enabled us to be set up for the next 12 months.
Ruth Evered, Director of Responsible Business, Saffery
Working with Hannah helped to immediately demystify some of the challenges and break them down into more manageable concepts that we could work through as a team. She has been an immensely valuable counsel and sounding board to have on our ESG journey..
