Strategy

 That's what we help you do!

We invite everyone to participate in a well-designed and innovative approach that is playful, yet with purpose; that not only empowers you, it empowers all involved for meaningful action. Working with TadZo, you will experience how much fun (and effective) it is to be inventive together through a focused approach that moves quickly from chatter to matter.

  "People do not resist what they create."

Henri Lipmanowicz  

To provide the greatest value, we customize every strategy approach to our client's project purpose and available resources. We are nimble, inclusive, and inviting in our work. 

Our goal is to truly help organizations, companies and communities in creating and implementing relevant and constantly evolving strategy that will help you navigate the complexity of your environment.  All kinds of organizations and groups operate in diverse complex environments .  

We help you cope with complexity by working with you to develop an enduring and adaptive strategy, as well as build capacity to support long-term transformative change.

  It helps you to:

• keep the complexity of challenges you face intact (not flattening or over-simplifying);
• balance predictability and unpredictability of possible futures (not putting all your eggs in one basket or losing yourself in a multitude of possibilities); and 
• widen the circle of participation in strategy-making (not relying solely on a small circle of experts or leaders). 

  Liberating Strategy introduces a dynamic, iterative, and adaptive way of planning with groups of any size.  This approach supports the creation of relevant strategy amidst uncertainty and changing conditions - What could be more relevant now?

This approach is centered on an infinity symbol representing the ecocycle of all projects and initiatives with focus on 6 questions to constantly evolve the strategy:

1. Purpose: What is the fundamental justification and deepest need for our work?
2. Context: What’s happening around us that demands creative change
3. Challenge: What paradoxical challenges must we face to make progress?
4. Baseline: Where are we starting, honestly?
5. Ambition: Given our purpose, what seems possible now?
6. Action & Evaluation: How are we moving away from the current state and toward the future, evaluating what is possible as we go? That question sparks: How are we cultivating more adjacent possibilities/options that enable us to respond more effectively to the future? And, what do we need to stop doing that is no longer delivering value (to make way for new approaches)?

These six questions are best answered by all relevant stakeholders for a compelling strategic narrative to be authored, owned, and carried out by everyone. 

  At TadZo, we utilize Liberating Strategy for our business strategy. 

We have no “big document." Instead, we maintain a Mural with input, on a regular and frequent schedule, to our Liberating Strategy exercises – nudging, adjusting, and even creatively destroying to make room for new innovations in our offerings and processes.

 We offer strategy via consulting engagements and coaching.  

When a client attains self-reliance to continue  acting strategically without us, or any consulting firm, we are pleased with the results.
