Shaping Leaders

Activating strategy and shaping the conditions for high performance

  • What we do - and when it matters

    Our work focuses on how leaders set direction, then articulate and activate it across their teams and organisation.

    Our support is most valued:

    • When direction needs to be set, or reset – clarifying strategy, priorities or organisational focus

    • When strategy needs to be activated – translating intent into aligned action across teams, functions or regions

    • When communication really matters - high stakes moments where narrative and presence are critical

    • When relationships are key – influencing/aligning stakeholders or managing challenges in your team

  • How we do it

    We offer a unique blend of consultancy, coaching, strategic facilitation and thought partnership – drawing on the core services listed here to form bespoke programmes of support for senior leaders and leadership teams

Developing Teams

Developing thriving, high performing teams

  • What we do

    Our work focuses on how teams function in practice: how they make decisions, align around priorities, and build and sustain their culture. We work with leaders to develop teams where individuals feel stretch and support, in environments that are energising and distinctive.

    100th Monkey’s support is most valued at these key moments:

    • Times of change: A new leader, a shift in direction, an inflection point for team members

    • Times of challenge: a strategic problem to solve, a collective performance or capability gap

    • Times of connection: making the most of face-to-face time together in a hybrid world

  • How we do it

    We work with teams and leaders to diagnose what they are seeking to solve, and design and deliver tailored solutions through team development programmes, offsites and workshops.

    • Equip them to facilitate productive dialogue and navigate challenge in high-stakes conversations

    • Build consistent capability across roles, teams, functions or regions

    • Deliver development at scale – from early careers through to emerging and established leaders
