The outcome of our work with Longhurst Group has enabled senior leaders to tackle the strategic organisational challenges facing the Group with clarity and confidence.
A significant specific outcome includes the development of the Group’s Target Operating Model following intensive work to gain a clear understanding of the current model and future vision. Key to this was the important external perspective and ‘art of the possible’ thinking brought by Perform Green.
