GEO delivers Strategic Services
for an era of Warp Speed Change

In our work with a wide range of organizations, we always hear concerns about resources—not enough funding or people or time to effectively execute their strategies.

GEO has an antidote: Plan for maximum Impact by focusing your available resources sharply on Leverage Points.

A Leverage Point is where you can have the greatest impact with the least effort. Think about what happens in bowling when you hit the #1 pin in just the right way. Presto, all the remaining pins go down.

For every strategy, there are multiple Leverage Points — key customers, key suppliers, key employees, and key processes like innovation, marketing, and decision-making.

We specialize in accelerating execution with principles from our highly-acclaimed book, Winning In FastTime™.

With sufficient speed, you’re more likely to succeed for many reasons:

• External competitors are outpaced
• Internal opposition is pre-empted
• Key assumptions don’t become obsolete
• Fewer unanticipated events and unintended consequences occur
• Shortfalls surface faster and can be corrected faster
• Fast wins create a positive psychology
• Desired results and benefits are accelerated

Here is one example of how to accelerate execution: Parallel Execution™ — orchestrating many aligned actions aimed at the Leverage Points you identified during your Action Planning.

Your probability of execution success is directly proportional to the:

• Numberof the Leverage Points targeted
• Precisionof the actions against the Leverage Points
• Simultaneityof the actions (so impacts occur at about the same time)

There is a second important benefit with Parallel Execution™. Because there are many simultaneous actions, you have multiple ways to achieve your desired outcomes. Single-point failures are not showstoppers.

Developing Adaptive Leaders is core GEO service. When you are an Adaptive Leader, change is expected, and responses are collaborative. Acquiring new knowledge and developing new skills and ways of doing business are routine.

GEO develops Adaptive Leaders using three formats:

Microlearning – Our GEO Knowledge Bytes™ deliver easy-to-digest best practices and proven techniques in bite-sized chunks. This approach increases attention and retention. Microlearning units are a part of our wider knowledge base, which is organized around three mindsets: Think Together, Focus Sharply, Move Quickly.

Action Learning – This involves a small group analyzing and acting on real problems in real time. This approach causes participants to think critically and work collaboratively. Participants expand their capacity perform with excellence by reflecting on what they are learning and applying it to current challenges.

Senior Advisor – GEO provides roadmaps for building an Adaptive Culture that can rapidly adjust to external change while ensuring exceptional performance. Our typical clients are the CEO, senior leaders, and emerging high-potential managers. As an additional service, we design and deliver best-of-the-best Adaptive Leadership practices to embed in your organization.
