Our approach

B3 creates leaders with more capability and capacity.

Our B3 methodology.

For adaptive leaders.

The B3 framework brings the principles of vertical development to life.  The process integrates learning and development with getting work done, creating a habit of growth through experimentation and on-the-job action.  Repeatedly moving thorough the B3 cycle, leaders develop both horizontally (learn new skills and capabilities) and vertically (mindset growth building the capacity to deal with complexity).

In a nutshell.

Our Be Conscious, Be Curious, Be Better (B3) framework is the magic behind how we develop leaders horizontally and vertically.

Built on neuroscience and behavior change principles to develop the mindset to thrive in ambiguity.

The B3 framework respects the context your leaders are coming from and operating in; giving them the space to contextualize and focus on what they need.

A model to iteratively develop; with a continual focus on experiential development and reflection.

What does B3 include?

Be Conscious

 

We start with you.

What is important, what works, what are your goals, what are your challenges?

This primes your thinking and focus, preparing you to develop.

Be Curious

 

We aim to inspire.

Get fresh ideas and insights, to spark new ideas and mental models to engage with.

Be Better

 

This is where the real development comes in.

Prototyping and experimenting to move forward. 

Reflect on how it went.

Confirm, or adjust your insight.

Repeat.
