Spotty Dog is a creative strategy consultancy specialising in empowering organisations through workshops, training and our strategic expertise. Our services help optimise and empower organisations in the short term (here and now) as well as strategise and generate their futures in the longer term.We have four main services:Optimise: We review a Team’s effectiveness and find the cumulative 1% improvements that allow small changes to fuel greater achievement. We conduct Stakeholder mapping and audits to give you first hand insight into what your stakeholders really think about you! Empower: Training and skills development is only beneficial if it is memorable and acted on, so our training uses video, role play, group and 121 interaction, underpinned by action planning and easy to use tools to bring it to life. Our Communication styles training builds teams’ skills at quickly identifying their own, and crucially, others’, communication preferences: an invaluable tool when you need to make yourself heard! While Insight generation takes the mystery from turning data into meaningful, business relevant insights, Storytelling for impact takes you on a journey to understand why and how we can have greater impact by using a narrative style of presentation to engage and galvanise stakeholders.Strategise: The Holy Grail of Business is discovering new opportunities to stay ahead of the competition and lighting the touch paper of passion across the whole organisation. We use clear, engaging techniques for envisioning and strategic planning include future trend immersion, vision creation, competitive and change analysis.Generate: We create insight led solutions for product, service or strategy development. Using our LIGHT insight generation process and Windows of Opportunity Framework, we cut through the mass of data to find the nuggets of insight that build inspired concept and proposition development.In 2018, we created our best practice Insight toolkit
