Great strategies need great leaders. We help organizations ensure leadership isn't left to chance: defining what 'great' looks like and building the systems, culture and capabilities to make it real.

Great businesses are built on great leadership.

But it doesn’t happen by accident. We help organizations identify, develop and deploy leaders who drive performance at every level.

Our Leadership Strategy Solution.

We help organizations build the leadership strength they need to deliver their strategy, now and for the future. From defining what ‘great’ leadership looks like, to building the systems, culture and capabilities to bring it to life, we help you take a strategic, intentional approach to developing the leaders who will drive performance at every level.

Are any of these familiar?

1.

We Have Big Plans. Our Leaders Aren’t Ready

The business is growing. The strategy is bold. But the leadership bench is thin, and your succession pipeline isn’t ready to keep pace.

We help you define the leadership qualities and capabilities your business demands, assess the gaps, and build a clear, practical roadmap to strengthen your bench – fast.

2.

We’re Developing Leaders — But Not for What the Business Actually Needs

Leadership development is happening. But it's disconnected from your business strategy. Leaders complete programs but they’re not prepared for the scale, complexity, or strategic demands they face.

We work with you to connect leadership development to your business reality so the leaders you’re building are ready to deliver in the roles your strategy demands.

3.

We Measure Results — But Not How We Achieve Them

Performance management focuses on the ‘what’: targets, metrics, outcomes. But when the ‘how’ gets ignored, behavior slips, culture drifts and long-term results suffer.

We help you connect leadership expectations to performance management — so how leaders behave matters as much as what they deliver.

4.

Leadership Expectations Are Fuzzy - So We Keep Getting the Wrong Fit

Everyone has their own ideas of what ‘great’ leadership actually looks like. So hiring, promotion, and succession decisions become subjective - and high risk.

We help you define a clear, practical Leadership Signature, so everyone knows the behaviors, qualities, and experiences leaders need to succeed in your unique context.

The ORL Leadership Strategy Process.

01

Discover

We assess your current
leadership landscape using our
Leadership Strategy Maturity Model to provide a clear, objective view of what's working, what's missing, and what your future demands.

02

Define

We work with senior leaders,
HR and key stakeholders to define what great leadership actually looks like for your business and build alignment around it.

03

Design

We co-design the roadmap: the structures, routines, and leadership expectations that will bring your vision to life.

04

Deliver

We help you embed the
leadership strategy: aligning culture, capability and accountability so your leaders are equipped to deliver real business results.

Great strategies stumble without great leadership. It takes clarity, intent and a deliberate plan to build the leadership your future demands.

As we expanded rapidly, it became clear that our leadership needed to scale effectively. ORT’s involvement was crucial in helping us build the necessary leadership capabilities.
