Leadership & Strategy Advisory
“I’m trying to drive disruption in my company, and no one is stepping up. How do I encourage my team to rise to this moment?”
“We are trying to innovate, but nothing is working. How do we get the changes we’re making to stick?”
“I’m used to running things a certain way, but I know I must give up some control. How do I let go without losing my authority?”
These are just a few of the problems facing today’s leaders.
They need help changing their corporate culture. They need advice on how to set a strategy with room to grow. They need the go-ahead to get comfortable with change.
And, for years, leaders across the globe have brought these problems to Charlene to solve.
Generative AI Strategy Audits
Looking for an immersive experience to jump-start a strategy or propel it to the finish line? Charlene’s latest offering is an audit of your generative AI strategy that evaluates how well it supports your business strategy and results in specific recommendations. Charlene partners closely with teams to design and facilitate interactive, results-driven strategy workshops tailored to their organization's unique needs and goals.
Through pre-workshop stakeholder interviews and planning sessions, Charlene takes a deep-dive into your business to identify your core challenges and growth opportunities. She then works with you to define the workshop outcomes and an agenda to spark strategic thinking and alignment among your leadership team.
Her hands-on strategy audit workshops, ranging from half-day to multi-day sessions, are highly participative experiences focused on achieving your established goals and deliverables. Charlene leverages her research on generative AI strategy and best practices for the audit and brings her extensive expertise in disruptive innovation, future trends, and organizational transformation to bear, which guides your team through thoughtful discussion, debate, prioritization, and decision-making.
Participants leave Charlene's strategy workshops intellectually engaged and equipped with concrete, customized plans to drive transformative change within their organization.
After the workshop, Charlene also circles back with leadership to ensure continued momentum, effective implementation, and a lasting impact.
