Where the Whiteboard Sessions lead.
Where the Whiteboard Sessions lead.
The Whiteboard Sessions are where the work begins.
What happens next depends on what the hour reveals. Sometimes it is a run of sessions on your own decisions, because the question is bigger than an hour allowed. Sometimes it is working with the team, because the thinking has to happen with them, not just about them. Sometimes it is coaching the person you are developing, because the question of who runs things without you is best answered with that person in the room. And for an owner, sometimes it is four other owners, because what you need is not a coach but a room.
Each of those is a fixed piece of work with an end you can see from the start. None of them is a retainer.
Six months of weekly Whiteboard Sessions for a corporate leader, on two or three outcomes agreed at the start.

Read about at.theboardThree ways it has gone.
A client booked a session because they were stuck on a strategic question. We worked through it at the board. By the end, the question wasn't the strategic one. It was a question about the team that needed to think differently. That became six months of TeamStrong.
A client booked a session about whether to promote a particular person to the leadership team. We worked through it at the board. The session revealed the person was ready but the role needed redesigning around their actual capabilities. The next six sessions were with that person, redesigning their remit: the second-in-command work that now sits alongside BuildStrong.
A client booked a session because the business was scaling faster than their bandwidth allowed. We worked through it at the board. The session revealed they couldn't do their actual job because they were doing three other jobs as well. Six months of BuildStrong followed, fortnightly, on what to delegate, what to hire and what to stop doing.
In each case the first hour set the next move, and the next move had a shape and an end date before it started.
If you're at the point of asking what this could look like for you, the conversation starts the same way as anything else here. An hour at the board.
The first hour will tell us both whether there is a next piece of work in this, and which one.
