3. Having defined with the client the business challenge, we observe selected
workdays and business meetings, and debrief our observations according to a
defined, while flexible framework :
•Strategic leadership : what observations say about the understanding of the
strategy, the organizational and process efficiency vs. the key objectives? What do
they say about the commitment, roles, empowerment and accountability of the
stakeholders ?
What gets in the way ?
•Reflective leadership : what observations say about the ability to question implicit
assumptions and beliefs that drive behaviors, and to adapt behaviors and
leadership practices when and where necessary ?
What gets in the way ?
Opserve eventually facilitates one-day seminars to review these findings with the
stakeholders and define appropriate action.

4. “What you observed in this short time, no one ever told us ! We did not even see
that these ways of working were to some extent the norm, why they mattered
and the linkage they had with the key issues and opportunities we are facing
today!”
“You succeeded the challenge to give feedback on formal and informal leadership
practices not only without harming anyone, but strengthening the cohesion and
engagement of the team !”
“We could never have had a seminar, working through some of the real issues
and opportunities, nor talked between us so openly without your help ! We have
developed what everyone considers an outstanding action plan for the months
and years to come!”
AB, former head of GT Russia
