Evidence in practice

When strategy becomes practice

Every case here is set out the way we set it out for a board: what was true at the start, what got in the way, what we did, and what changed. Where a programme was formally evaluated, the figures are the client's own.

Cubic3

Cubic3. Connecting Executive Ambition, Manager Alignment and a Coaching Culture

Cubic3 was not simply introducing a goal-setting technique.

The work created a clearer bridge between executive strategy and manager action.

The two days really enabled me to look at my overall approach on a personal and professional level in a very different way. It's unlocked a few doors for me and enabled me to think differently on how I work.

OneTwenty Group

OneTwenty Group. From Entrepreneurial Success to Organisational Capability

Decision-making remained heavily concentrated around the CEO, accountability varied across teams, and there was limited consistency in how leadership capability was developed beyond the founding team.

Over time, leadership responsibility became more widely distributed.

During the course of the engagement, OneTwenty Group expanded through five strategic acquisitions and increased annual revenue from approximately €4 million to almost €24 million. This commercial growth was the achievement of the business as a whole.

Kilkenny County Council

Kilkenny County Council. Strengthening Candidate and Interview-Board Capability Across a Local Authority

Candidates may have substantial experience yet struggle to identify the strongest evidence, distinguish their own contribution from the wider team or translate day-to-day work into a concise interview response.

The written feedback also points to a meaningful shift in confidence and understanding.

It put a formal framework on the gaps in my knowledge of competencies.

Clare County Council

Clare County Council. Building Practical Competency-Based Recruitment Capability Across a Local Authority

Many possess stronger evidence than they initially recognise but need a practical method for finding and presenting it.

Across the programmes, participants consistently reported greater clarity about competency-based interviews and a stronger sense of how to prepare.

The trainer's ability to connect with the group helped draw out competencies from people who were unsure of their capabilities.

What would this look like in your organisation?

One conversation is usually enough to tell whether the gap is direction, leadership or capability, and what it would take to close it.
