YOUR PEOPLE. OUR PROCESS. A SHARED ROI.

Our Approach

01. Your People

We can all agree that people are capable of quite extraordinary things and in almost every organisation they represent the greatest source of sustainable advantage; this is why, at Ninety Days, we encourage active participation at all levels. 

Whatever the challenge, effective change needs to be imagined and delivered by those that best understand the issues; not only does this underpin successful implementation but it also ensures that the workforce we leave behind is better equipped to face the challenges of the future.

90 days is the optimal period of time needed to allow measurable improvement, whilst retaining immediacy of focus on execution.

Our 90-day Accelerated Performance CyclesTM achieve rapid alignment and clarity about what you wish to achieve, and how you will do so, before supporting leaders and teams to execute with precision.

Our process ensures the successful execution of change projects within a 90-day timeframe or multiple 90-day cycles, depending on project complexity.

By starting with the end in mind, we can all be clear on what success looks like at the end of a 90-day cycle. We believe that we only succeed if we deliver an agreed and measurable outcome, and we commit to continuing to work with our clients until this has been achieved.

Because we have great faith in what individuals can achieve when purposefully aligned, we have much greater expectations for you than simply recovering your investment, but we believe that is the very least that you can expect from us.

Organisational Transformation

Our approach transcends mere change management, aiming for profound organisational transformation.

By meticulously assessing your organisation’s culture and leadership perceptions, we identify areas of alignment and discrepancies through our unique “heat map.”

This serves as a strategic guide, enabling targeted interventions and inclusive dialogues with senior leadership teams, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and adaptability that endures beyond our intervention.

High Performance Culture

We instil a high-performance culture within your organisation. By engaging employees in strategic thinking, planning, and execution processes, we empower them to understand their individual contributions to organisational success.

This shift in focus from day-to-day operations to strategic alignment cultivates an environment where excellence becomes the norm, driving productivity, innovation, and competitive advantage.

Impactful Leadership

We focus on producing measurable improvements in key leadership behaviours that directly impact organisational performance.

By benchmarking leaders against global standards and providing personalised coaching, we empower them to inspire, challenge, and guide their teams effectively.

Through our unique 90-day Accelerated Performance CycleTM, leaders not only develop new habits but also lead projects that deliver tangible economic benefits to the organisation, ensuring a clear return on investment in leadership development.
