A Russian bank invited ASL to help them develop innovative entry into retail banking. ASL provided insight on ways to develop their organisation to maximise its market value through integrated actions. Recommendations being implemented include organisational structure through to performance management focused on achieving that value with incentives that encourage co-ordinated team activity and generating long-term customer value.
A 2-star City Council achieved much progress in a short time but plateaued. Using LfV™ concepts to facilitate boundary busting, services were focused across a range of individual service providers enabling vulnerable groups' needs to be met more effectively with a more seamless customer service.
A London Borough wanted its Heads of Service & senior department staff to develop more joined-up plans and support it's Journey To Excellence (J2E). Exercises for 60 participants plus facilitation and problem-solving tools enabled this group to develop a more shared understanding as well as creating some more joined-up services for some specialist customer groups in the community who used their separate services.
A section within a central government department (120 people) requested a one-day experiential event to integrate new staff with existing staff and create an agenda for change that would address future opportunities and past concerns. The day achieved those objectives and the senior team recognised that issues of focus (i.e. what counts as real value in the department) needed to be resolved at their level in order to capitalise on the results that arose.

Leaders For Value (LFV)
Leaders for Value (LfV™) is a specialist proposition offered by ASL. It has been developed from leading edge global practice that has been badged in various trademarked ways such as VBM™ (Value Based Management) or MfV™ (Managing for Value) [James Knight et al].
LfV™ is designed to deliver this focus on value by combining these practices with other leading edge elements. Together they ensure the results from this focus are applied throughout the organisation to get results that really stick. In effect, the various elements in LfV™ support local leadership distributed across the organisation to achieve maximum impact on organisational goals.
LfV™ can be applied as stand-alone elements, but maximum power comes from combining them (e.g. in a process that starts with a strategic review or AOP exercise). Interventions are then tailored to deliver the desired results deep into the organisation.
The specialist elements of LfV™ that can be used separately or together are:
- Strategic (e.g. identification of value, value drivers and value destroyers)
- Network mapping to identify key groups, individuals, and ways of working.
- Systemic thinking (e.g. Balogun & Hope Hailey) and systemic leadership to help directors, managers and staff deliver joined-up, seamless service.
- Boundary busting to build organisational capacity via distributed leadership.
- Top team development, teambuilding, facilitation & coaching to support tailored interventions throughout the organisation (1:1 to conference size).
- Change leadership & management ensures initiatives engage all affected Co-creating emergent futures to enable various stakeholders innovate new opportunities to suit new situations without simply rehashing old solutions.
- Complexity theory and dilemma management to support excellent results in multiple stakeholder organisations (inc. addressing individual agendas).
- Motivational leadership inc. pioneering Apter work to help leaders create motivationally rich “micro-climates” to develop energy and engage diversity.
- Corporate Governance and Collegiate Leadership Roles at Board level.
LfV™ is a leading edge, flexible, tailored approach to help organisations at various stages of development identify clearly and focus upon what really provides maximum value; then lead their organisations to achieve it.
