Our proven approach
Excellerate© is built on years of experience of sparking movements in organisations by delivering Appreciative Inquiry (AI) led programmes. 

AI is hugely powerful, and we've seen outstanding results. We've seen people's understanding and belief in their organisation and its strategy shift significantly and their engagement grow as their voices have been heard.

An independent review found that 90% of Appreciative Inquiry-driven change programmes are successful*, in stark contrast to the 30% success rate of change programmes generally**.

Our tried and tested approach is built on this unique process to transform and mobilise your organisation.

1
Inquire
Exploring your organisation’s strengths.
Through a structured process of storytelling and conversations, led by carefully considered questions, the qualities and values that will underpin your future success will emerge.

2
Imagine
What possibilities does the future offers us?
We help you to define the space, to share insights and expectations. And then we hold that space for your colleagues and stakeholders to stretch their thinking and express their ideas through amazing creative sessions. Building a powerful vision of your future.
3
Innovate
Where do we focus our energy to bring that future to life?
We hold an open space and together we engage your people. Empowering your teams to define the areas that will have the biggest impact and creating a roadmap where everyone understands the journey ahead and the role they play within it.
4
Inspire
Together we build the strategic narrative.
Combining your strengths, strategy and roadmap we build a powerful narrative that the whole business can understand and believe in. Celebrating the values and building a powerful shared context so that the whole business can move forward together.

Change is not an event it is a continuous movement

It can be used for 40 or 4,000 people, delivered over a couple of days or a number of months. Involving leadership teams, whole divisions, or your entire business. We could recreate your future world in a virtual space or simply use your conference call technology.

What qualities does your organisation need to transform? 

We recently did some research which shows that there are a number of qualities and behaviours needed within organisations for them to survive and thrive in the world today. 

The results are in… Teamwork, Agility and Trust stand out. In many ways these are not new qualities but enabling them to grow and activate a positive future is a real challenge .


Do you know what qualities your organisation needs?
 
Which one would have the biggest impact in your organisation? 

And which would be the most difficult to deliver? 

Excellerate © will help to answer these questions and then help those qualities to flourish.
