Strategy is rarely the problem.

Ex*****on is.

In this week’s video, Andy explains how leadership teams use our Strategy Ex*****on Discovery Day to uncover the real barriers to progress - and move forward with clarity.

If you don’t want to wait, we’re also running a short leadership webinar on Friday 27th March to help you start closing your ex*****on gaps now.

Many leadership teams complain about meetings.

Few actually do something about them.

In this short video, Andy Gilbert shares a simple exercise he recently used with an exec team:

List every meeting.
Score the quality.
Then decide - improve it or remove it.

No long programme.
No complex framework.
Just focused thinking.

If meetings are draining time and momentum in your organisation, this might be a useful starting point.

“We don’t have time for another long-term transformation plan. We need results – now.”

That was the challenge set by one pressured Operations Director. Within 60 days, they’d restructured workflows, empowered decision-making, freed up capacity – and boosted morale. No burnout. No drama. Just better thinking leading to better results.

So how did they do it?

They applied the Go M.A.D.® Results Framework – a proven way to help teams refocus fast, simplify priorities, and create momentum that sticks.

In this blog, we unpack:

What if your team could save £1M in just 60 days - without working harder?
Sounds bold, right?

That’s exactly what one of our clients achieved using the Go M.A.D.® 60-Day Improvement Challenge as part of a Results Acceleration Programme for leaders.

Faced with rising operational costs, they didn’t cut corners or pile on pressure.

They changed how they thought.

In just three focused projects, they delivered:

£500k saved on card processing fees
£600k saved on-site maintenance
100+ hours a week freed up through smarter processes

And they didn’t stop there - they went on to lead 66 more improvement challenges in just 12 months.

No burnout. No big budgets.
Just focused, empowered teams applying better thinking to deliver measurable results.

Want to know how they did it?

Plenty of leadership programmes help people grow.

Many improvement initiatives boost performance.

We help leaders lead better, teams think smarter, and organisations make meaningful change that doesn’t fade away.

Because when thinking changes, behaviour follows.
And when behaviour changes, results do too.

CEOs who think differently win.

In high-pressure environments, the best-performing leaders aren’t working harder -they’re thinking more clearly.

The hidden performance gap?
It’s not capability.
It’s clarity.

Over the last 28 years, we’ve seen that the fastest way to accelerate results isn’t with more effort - it’s with better questions.

In this article, we explore:

💡 Why teams get stuck even when they’re experienced
💡 The thinking model behind high-performing leadership teams
💡 10 questions you can use to shift from action mode to possibility mode

Even one well-timed question can change a meeting.

5 ways to spark more light bulb moments...

Ever heard someone say, “I’m not very creative”?

The truth is, creativity isn’t just about art, design, or wild ideas. One of the most powerful forms of creativity is asking better questions.

Great questions lead to great answers.

And the best ones? They lead to those Light Bulb Moments that change how you think, work, and lead.

Here are 6 types of creative questions you can use to unlock more ideas, whether you’re coaching yourself, leading a team, or problem-solving with a group:

1. What if…
Challenge assumptions and push past blockages.
What if budget wasn’t an issue, what could you possibly do?

2. Distance, time, or space
View things from a different perspective.
Picture the situation in six months, everything you want is in place, what has possibly happened to get you there?

3. Third person perspective
Bring in an outside voice.
What ideas might your CEO suggest?

4. Reverse logic
Flip the thinking.
Who should you possibly avoid involving?

5. Magic imaginary
Suspend reality for a moment.
If you had a magic wand, what could you possibly do?

Which of these question types will you use this week?

Keep making a difference!
