Performance Consulting
Achieving Breakthrough
A proven methodology for rapidly accelerating performance and achieving breakthrough results in complex environments.
Focus on one single critical business issue that will have the greatest impact on short-term performance.
The Breakthrough Process is Oxford Leadership’s proprietary methodology for generating breakthrough results within a short time.
It is a proven way of aligning key players and building a high-performing team. Teams focus on co-creating solutions to one single, critical business issue that will have the greatest impact on short-term performance. Accelerate performance and improve results by increasing alignment, cohesion, engagement, and accountability.
The Breakthrough Process is a powerful, highly-structured process that brings together key leaders and experts from across the organisation, to focus on one core issue at a time.
Oxford Leadership consultants co-facilitate the process with members of your leadership team to:
- Rapidly identify and gain broad commitment to high-priority initiatives
- Build high-performing teams, lower resistance to change, and accelerate implementation
- Fast-track decision-making and harness collective wisdom
- Break through barriers of rank, function, geography, and culture – to increase collaboration among senior leaders and those who report to them
