Leadership Advisory
Organisations rarely fail because of strategy alone. More often, performance is weakened by unclear governance, slow decision-making, organisational friction and leadership misalignment.
We help Boards and Executive Teams prove the way they govern, decide and execute together.
Collective performance depends on more than engagement or team cohesion alone. It requires clear priorities, effective decision-making, strong alignment, constructive management of tensions and a shared commitment to execution.
Our Board & Organisational Effectiveness practice helps Boards, executive teams and leadership groups strengthen the conditions that enable organisations to perform consistently and sustainably. Depending on the situation, we activate four complementary intervention levers:
Aligning Boards, leaders and key stakeholders around shared priorities, governance principles and decision-making frameworks.
Outcome: Greater consistency between strategy, governance and execution.
Clarifying roles, responsibilities, interfaces and execution rhythms to improve collective performance and organisational effectiveness.
Outcome: Faster decisions, stronger accountability and more reliable execution.
Aligning recognition, contribution frameworks and performance management systems with organisational objectives.
Outcome: A clearer link between contribution, value creation and recognition.
Restoring productive collaboration when tensions, misalignment or conflict are affecting decision-making and execution.
Outcome: Re-established trust, improved cooperation and renewed execution capacity.
Together, these interventions strengthen governance, improve decision-making, enhance collaboration and increase organisational effectiveness.
Developed by Fabrice Gatti, Leading Partner at SBT Executive, the C.R.A.F².T. framework helps leaders and executive teams strengthen trust, cooperation, engagement and execution.
Applied in Boards, executive committees and organisations undergoing transformation, it provides a practical lens for understanding and improving the human dynamics that influence organisational performance.
Aligning leaders, Boards and executive teams around a shared direction, clear decision-making and disciplined execution.
When leaders are not aligned around priorities, decision-making and execution, even the strongest strategies can lose momentum. Strategic Alignment helps Boards, executive teams and leadership groups build a shared understanding of what matters most, how decisions are made and how execution is expected to happen.
True alignment cannot be imposed. It must be built. Our approach helps leaders create a common language, clarify roles and responsibilities, strengthen governance and translate strategy into consistent, coordinated execution.
Outcome: Stronger alignment between strategy, governance and execution, resulting in faster decisions, greater accountability and improved collective performance.
We build alignment through structured leadership workshops, governance clarification and the translation of strategic priorities into clear execution frameworks.
Our approach helps Boards and executive teams establish a common understanding of priorities, clarify decision-making responsibilities and strengthen alignment between strategy and execution.
Clarify Roles. Align Contributions. Accelerate Execution.
High-performing teams do not underperform because of capability alone. More often, performance is constrained by the execution model itself: unclear roles, overlapping responsibilities, decision-making bottlenecks, accountability gaps and ineffective operating rhythms.
Team Effectiveness (Powered by the Talent Reveal Protocol) helps Boards, Executive Committees, Leadership Teams and critical project teams improve the way they work together and execute.
The objective is not to resolve conflict, but to strengthen organisational effectiveness by clarifying responsibilities, aligning contributions, improving decision-making and establishing a more effective execution rhythm.
Outcome: Greater clarity, stronger accountability and more consistent execution.

Performance, Recognition & Sustainable Leadership
Recognition is one of the most powerful and often overlooked drivers of sustained performance.
Effective recognition is not simply about compensation. It is about defining what creates value, which behaviours should be reinforced and how contribution, performance and leadership expectations are aligned.
At SBT Executive, we help organisations design performance and recognition frameworks that strengthen accountability, support engagement and encourage the leadership behaviours required for long-term success.
Outcome
A clearer link between contribution, value creation and recognition, supporting stronger performance, leadership effectiveness and organisational sustainability.
Restore Collaboration. Rebuild Decision-Making. Restart Execution.
When collaboration deteriorates, execution slows, decision-making becomes more difficult and organisational performance suffers.
For Boards, Executive Committees, Leadership Teams and critical project teams, unresolved tensions are rarely just interpersonal issues. They quickly become governance, decision-making and execution risks.
Team Conflict Resolution helps leaders address open conflicts, recurring friction and unspoken tensions that undermine trust, delay decisions and weaken collective effectiveness.
The objective is not simply to improve relationships. It is to restore clear ways of working, strengthen decision-making, rebuild alignment and enable the team to execute effectively again.
Outcome: Stronger alignment, healthier working dynamics, more effective decision-making and restored execution capacity.
A confidential, structured and resolution-focused approach combining:
We analyse both visible and underlying tensions, decision-making bottlenecks and breakdowns in collaboration in order to restore effective governance, collective alignment and execution capacity.
