Harvard Business Review, 2015
the #1 issue that causes delays, implementation failures in general, employee angst, and customer ire is failures of cross-functional communication and integration.
Tom Peters, ‘The Excellence Dividend’, 2018

What we do
Albany Peak is a business consultancy focused on strategy execution. Cohesive Senior Leadership Teams (SLTs), who work together effectively, are the key to unlocking excellent business execution: both in their interaction and how they lead their own teams through the business.
We help SLTs foster high performance in the organisation, effectively cascading the methodology down leadership levels - engaging and empowering staff. This results in high alignment and high autonomy through the business, affording leaders at every level the time, space and freedom to focus on their ‘up and out’ rather than fighting the daily ‘down and in’ fires. The right people are focused on the right problems, diaries are clearer, meetings are fewer and more effective. Things get done. The organisation moves forward.

How we do it
Partnering with SLTs, we focus on three key areas:
Gaining strategic clarity and alignment on business activity
Fostering high performing behaviours in teams and as leaders
Embedding adaptable execution through a performance review and realignment methodology
Our programmes combine team workshops and performance review sessions, 1-to-1 coaching and adventurous outdoor team experiences.
Who we work best with
You’re the CEO/MD or member of an SLT, focused on long-term sustainable performance (over quarterly shareholder returns). You believe your people are the key to fulfilled clients who in turn drive revenue, EBITDA and stakeholder value.
The following frustrations resonate with you:
Divergent effort across functions
Lack of accountability and ownership
Unwillingness to make decisions
Lurching from urgent problem to urgent problem
Lack of time for 'up and out' strategic thinking
Days filled with unproductive meetings
Low staff morale and retention difficulties
Clients our Principals have supported
How we work
Senior leadership teams
Change is best driven from the top – initially with a new client, we work exclusively with their SLT. As a second phase, we then assist in cascading the methodology one or two levels down the organisation.
Long-term partnership
We work with clients over an 18-24 month minimum to assist embedding of behaviours and achieve a tangible ROI. We are not a ‘one and done’ leadership training consultancy.
Proactive implementation
We work with clients who are serious about improving performance. This is an investment in time beyond the programmed days and requires commitment from the whole SLT for successful implementation.
