Our Services: Thought and Practice Partnership

While you’re likely facing many complex and ambiguous problems, you might have a handful of well-defined ones, too. Northshore has several offerings to help you handle a number of common challenges. These include:

Advisory

Are you looking for a thought partner or a sounding board as you work through a particular problem or challenge? Our advisory services are ideal for any type of leader who’s looking to gain a broader perspective from our experience across different industries and companies. You’ll walk away from these sessions with increased confidence and self-assuredness that you’re not working in a vacuum and your decisions are aligned with proven best practices.

Practice Development

Whether you’re leading a new or mature practice, or need help building one from scratch, Northshore can partner with you on all aspects of growing and scaling a practice. This can include everything from making your first leadership hire, writing job descriptions, designing interviews and assessments, creating a team charter, defining career ladders, or developing a community of practice.

Transformation Optimisation

If you’re a leader or change agent who’s struggling to make the impact you know you can make, Northshore offers Transformation Optimisation. Think of this like a health check for your transformation journey. We’ll identify your current challenges and provide a prioritised list of recommendations for next steps. We suggest this option for anyone looking for a quick way to get unstuck and clear a path forward.

If you’re looking for personalised support, we offer 1:1 remote coaching that’s tailored to your specific needs, whether you’re looking to step into a new role, set up and launch your own business, or change the focus of your career.
