Vision Design.

We work with organisations to envision their future and turn it into visual and tangible stories available for the entire organisation.

The challenge

When a shared, compelling story on where to go and why is missing or doesn’t reach the people it should, a lack of direction and purpose is the result. People grow insecure and disengaged. Change becomes incredibly hard.

The service

Together with key stakeholders, we co-create your vision: whether that’s on who you want to be as an organisation or department, the ideal way of working, desired behaviour and culture, a process, or anything you envision.

Our facilitated conversations and visual designs rapidly lead to insights and alignment within your leadership team.

A written vision is easily ignored but our visuals are memorable. People connect with the bigger picture so they see it, feel it and get it. Combine this with powerful storytelling and you make your vision available for everyone.

Types of Projects

  • Vision development and design workshops
  • Bigger picture design
  • Storytelling for Impact workshops
  • Core values and desired behaviour workshops

Strategy Activation.

We facilitate teams to turn vision into achievable strategic plans and actionable steps on where to allocate resources for maximal impact.

The challenge

Today’s challenges are often complex and ask for multidisciplinary teamwork to solve them. Silos can get in the way. They create a lack of insight into how other teams contribute to the value chain, what drives them and how to cooperate best.

The service

Ink Strategy says, ‘Ditch the Silos’! We help organisations achieve momentum, flow and transformation through networked teams: agile, multi-disciplinary, co-creative and owning the change.

We help you get clear about the process. We help you lay the tracks to reach your destination – and represent it in a meaningful visual. The goal is everyone knows who does what when, and who’s responsible for each stage.

Types of Projects

  • Deep dives on track strategies
  • Multi-day organisational retreats
  • OGSM  or OKR sprints
  • Facilitate collaboration between teams
Supportive leadership, scale uplifting a leader Change by design

Leadership and Team Development.

We support leadership to walk the talk and explore how they can deal with the complexities of embodying new behaviours needed to reach the vision.

The challenge

A clear vision provides a compelling story to tell but if leaders don’t ‘walk the talk’, change will not happen.

To embody the necessary change and lead in an effective manner, leaders need self-reflection and a supportive team of peers. A team in which they can be a member rather than a leader. A team with a strong basis of trust, shared goals, clear roles and commitments. The broader organisation will always reflect the quality of its leadership.

The service

We coach and develop leadership teams to ‘walk the talk’, collaborate as a high performing team and build leadership maturity. Always in service of the vision and team responsibility.

When we work with you, we make it real. We create and hold the space, while we address the real issues and build autonomy. Expect us to bring in a systemic perspective to understand the deeper causes of behaviour and team dynamics.

Empower. Enable. Inspire.

Types of Projects

  • Leadership development workshops
  • Team development programmes
  • Individual and team coaching
  • Train the trainer

“It’s amazing how Ink Strategy helped us get to the essence of our business transformation and turn ideas, PowerPoint and business language into a compelling visual story that engaged employees. Ultimately, it helped us speed up our transformation. Working with Ink is remarkably swift, to the point and engaging.”

Stephen Liller

“It’s been really, really inspiring to see all the staff, independent of what they are doing, speaking with authority about the situation in the country, their contribution and where we want to go. Its been very good.”

 

 

 

 

Robert-Jan Coerant

Tender Manager BAM Techniek

“ Working together with INK really helped to communicate our project plan to our client. Like they say ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’. Not only is the message we wanted to carry out supported by drawings and visible at a glance, the process also helped us to specify the text to make it more to the point.

Above all, working together on the visual output of our plan is great fun and keeps the team motivated!”
