How We Work

Prior to launching NovoVigeo, our Founder led strategies and transformations both from within organizations and as a consultant to them. So, we know the advantages and disadvantages to both. We get that too often external consultants recommend elaborate strategies that are impractical or for which the organization is not ready or able to implement. We have also seen internal expertise and insight go untapped and un-mobilized. 

At NovoVigeo, our approach is to be your outside-in partner. We offer deep expertise and neutral, third-party perspective while coming alongside you and your team and rolling up our sleeves to help unleash your inherent insights and capabilities.

We take on different roles, depending upon our clients' unique needs, offering tailored support. NovoVigeo often serves as a/an:

• Coach that asks powerful questions, helping clients connect with their purpose and vision and drive meaningful action.
• Consultant that offers strategies, frameworks, tools, and best practices that help organizations foster change and impact.
• Advisor that helps senior executives to identify and weigh options and tradeoffs as they consider critical decisions.
• Guide that helps groups navigate complexity and change to create clear strategic, social innovation, and/or transformation plans.
• Process Facilitator that brings out expertise, vision, collective wisdom, and innovative solutions.
• Curator of research and thought leadership, together with the spaces to co-create them.

• We value good questions over and above assumed answers.
• We believe in and champion the power of people, organizations, and networks. 
• We come alongside clients and help them discover and harness their potential.
• We promote dialogue and collaboration – across functional teams, agencies, and sectors. 
• We embrace both systems’ complexities and the need to communicate clearly and act simply.
• We promote leadership and innovation that is both structured and emergent.
• We believe in building capacity and empowerment – ultimately, working ourselves out of a job. 

With a scholar-practitioner mindset, we seek to be astute, yet applied, in all our client engagements.

• Smart and Practical – We mine or conduct research, benchmarks, and best practice studies as relevant. Perhaps as or more importantly, we draw out the expertise resident across your organizations and networks to address your specific circumstances. 
• Advisory and Collaborative – We often have advise based on our experience. And yet, we are relentless about working side-by-side our clients, asking the right questions, and co-creating bespoke solutions with them and their stakeholders. 
• Strategic and Detailed – We are passionate about helping clients better perceive their complex strategic and systemic contexts and opportunities. We guide clients in creating visions for the future, change, or collective impact while also identifying the plans, success factors, and potential hurdles to achieve them.
• Planful and Adaptive – We work with clients to be diligent in planning and accountable in measuring. We also encourage testing projects, responding to feedback signals, and iterating or pivoting as needed. 
• Rigorous and Relational – We drive to ensure we deliver with excellence to help you achieve exponentially more. And we do it in a way that values people and process as much as results.
