Connections that show a decentralised organisation

A holistic approach

Unlike traditional approaches that often address these areas in isolation, our methodology integrates all aspects of your organisation into a viable system. This systemic approach ensures that every part of your organisation works together, allowing you to not only navigate complexity but thrive in it.

Our expertise in detail:

Ecosystem

We help organisations make sense of an ever-changing external environment through Futures and Foresight Scenarios and Ecosystem Modelling. Understanding external forces enables our clients to anticipate risks and opportunities, build robust scenarios, and remain resilient against external shocks. Our ecosystem models demonstrate how various external actors interact, helping you confidently navigate complexity.

Strategy

Using the Patterns of Strategy methodology, we develop strategies that recognise the shifting dynamics of your ecosystem. This radical approach allows us to model strategic relationships as a series of manoeuvres between competitors, partners, regulators, and the market. We not only develop your strategy but also support Strategy Execution, ensuring you have a precise roadmap for implementation tailored to fit both competitive and collaborative scenarios.

Organisations

The health of an organisation is at the heart of sustainable growth. We specialise in Organisational Design using the Viable Systems Model to develop self-organising, decentralised, and adaptable structures to handle internal and external pressures. Our Leadership Development programmes empower leaders to thrive in complexity by fostering decentralised decision-making. Leaders learn to navigate ambiguity, distribute authority, and make agile decisions in a fast-changing environment. At the same time, we help cultivate a decentralised culture where decision-making and accountability are shared across all levels, driving agility, innovation, and resilience.

Transformation Plan

We use the Mosaic Transformation approach, which goes beyond traditional, top-down change management strategies. This systemic approach enables us to guide organisations through complex, large-scale changes, ensuring sustainability and minimal disruption. We empower leaders to drive change through structured, iterative phases that build momentum while addressing internal friction points.

  • “Mike combines infectious passion with in-depth knowledge to deliver fantastic leadership courses!"

    Chris Bell – Head of Performance, WASPS Rugby

  • "Mike and his team at LBI Consulting assisted Technics in developing a clear and defined emergent strategy. The strategy planning day at Technics was structured to ensure full participation from the group, resulting in a Strategic Communications statement at the end of the day. This strategic process will enable Technics to adapt to the ever-changing environments. Mike and his team comprehensively understood Technics as an organisation, including their target audiences and areas for development. I highly recommend Mike and his team to any organisation requiring strategic guidance."

    John Macintyre - Managing Director Technics

  • "I have been on several leadership type courses over the last 20 odd years and this was honestly the best one. The merits are the programme is spread over 4 sessions with a briefing on one day and practice the next which is a good format. The modules naturally build on each other. What really makes it relevant is the trainer knows Network Rail reasonably well so can make training and comments relevant as opposed to preaching what others do which would never work in the Railway Environment."

    Chris Wooff, SAE Network Rail

  • "The knowledge, passion and dedication Mike has to the training programmes is incredible to see and has been a huge benefit to myself as a Leader and also to my team. I enjoy Mike's honesty and external views and will take a lot of information away from the sessions to help improve myself and my team."

    Jade Buckland - Leader Network Rail.

  • “It has been great working with the LBI Consulting team; it is incredible to see after 18 months the positive improvements across the team in the areas of strategy alignment, accountability and levels of trust between the leadership and the wider team.”

    Matt Allen – Head of Timetable Production

  • "I found LBI to be a superb organisation to work with both in terms of their expertise and the service they provide. Their work has helped us to become a higher-performing team and create a culture where people can deliver the best work of their careers."

    Kris Alexander - Director Network Rail

  • This training is brilliant; succinct, fascinating and potentially transformational. I now feel fully equipped to deliver wide-ranging improvements to my area of the business.

    Senior Delegate - Systemic Leadership Programme

  • "The Leadership training I attended was probably the best training that I’ve done in 20 years. I appreciated the level of detail provided in each of the modules, and also the layered way in which it was presented. So that each element was clearly linked, and the learning from one module built upon concepts and ideas from the previous modules. Utilising real world examples made the learning tangible and applicable. I feel excited to get back to work to apply the new learning, and can already see how it is going to improve outcomes for my teams."

    Alex Hamlin (Consultant Clinical Psychologist)

  • "I have attended many leadership courses throughout my 15 year career and this is the one I found most useful. It gave me an insight into myself and also helped me understand other people and better as well as strategy and leadership techniques."

    Senior Leader - Engineering Company

  • "I think this was possibly the best training I have been on in my entire career (which is lengthy). Learned so much, have so much to now put into practice. It really does put into perspective what good training is and it shines a light on how to train well."

    Senior Leader - Network Rail

  • "Best leadership course I have attended."
