They talk more openly and are able to express concerns and problems in a productive way. The leader has identified strategies for sustainable development of his or her capabilities as a leader.

We have been coaching leaders in Europe, the US and Asia since 1996. We mainly work in the financial sector, the pharmaceutical and chemical industry and in the IT and other technology fields, for medium-sized to large global corporations. References are available upon request.

How does it work?

1. Clarification of goals and framework with the team leaders, HR, the team leader’s superiors (depending on the issue)
2. Interviews with team members, superiors, peers, relevant stakeholders (for example customers)

Solution Focused Executive Sparring

Intelligent Conversations with the right people facilitated for optimum results

In which situations?

Your company is going through a difficult situation. You want to implement a new strategy. There will be changes in the organization but you are not sure which ones are needed. You need to make a decision, but you don’t have time to do extensive analyses.

What kind of executives?

SolutionsAcademy executive sparring processes work for leaders from diverse backgrounds: production, logistics, sales, marketing, administration, research and development, IT, etc.

What are the benefits?

For executives it can feel lonely at the top! With our sparring process, you have a sounding board who knows your situation first hand. You can talk to someone who really challenges your thoughts and is willing and able to understand you challenges. Your sparring partner is at a similar level in a different organization, so they will not be impacted by your decisions – you can trust your partner. You will hear about other executive challenges and learn by sharing your experience. Your coach supports you in making the best use of your time and identifying the best partner.

How does it work?

1. You contact us with a request for a sparring partner (or sparring partners) and we determine a “framework of fit”
2. We contact your potential sparring partners with complete confidentiality
3. We clarify your goals and your partner’s goals for the sparring conversations
4. We facilitate the first meeting(s) ensuring optimum use of your time

This process can last between 3 months and one year.  Your conversations can be face-to-face or facilitated, secure virtual meetings. We have a wide network of companies from all sectors spanning the globe.
