The full methodology in one day.
An open workshop introducing the full On The Same Page methodology in a single day. Suitable for individual leaders and senior HR professionals, the workshop covers all five pillars (Strategy, Leadership, Culture, Teamwork, Brand), demonstrates the top tools from each, and gives participants a hands-on session applying the methodology to their own organisation.
A working understanding of the full On The Same Page methodology: the five pillars, the lived-versus-stated discipline, and how organisational alignment work actually runs.
Hands-on time with the top tools from each pillar, anchored in three central case studies: Apple, Netflix, and Ferrari.
A sketch of where the most material alignment work sits in your own organisation, and a clear pathway into the rest of the programme.
On The Same Page is a methodology for getting senior leadership teams genuinely aligned. Five pillars: Strategy, Leadership, Culture, Teamwork, Brand. Each one with its own diagnostic and commitment work. Together, they form a coherent system for examining where an organisation actually is, where it wants to be, and the alignment work that closes the gap.
This open workshop is the front door. One day, in person, suitable for individual leaders and senior HR professionals from any organisation. By the end of the day you will understand the methodology, have tried the top tools from each pillar, and have sketched your own first piece of OTSP work on your own organisation.
The morning covers the architecture, with three central case studies: Apple as the worked example for Strategy, Netflix as the central case for Culture (drawing on No Rules Rules by Reed Hastings and Erin Meyer), and Ferrari as the central case for Brand. The afternoon turns to hands-on work, with each participant taking one pillar and applying it to a real situation in their own organisation.
The deeper engagement is the pillar workshops, run as full-day intensives for intact leadership teams. This workshop gives you enough understanding to know which pillar to start with, and enough confidence to bring the methodology back to your own organisation. A leader who attends this workshop and then commissions a pillar workshop arrives at the pillar work with the architecture already in place.
09:30 to 17:30, with two breaks and lunch. Each pillar gets 45 minutes of teaching plus a try-it-yourself exercise. The afternoon hinge, OTSP In Action, is where you apply it to your own organisation.
The central argument. The five pillars as a coherent system. The lived-versus-stated discipline that runs through the methodology.
Apple as the worked case. Strategy Radar tool. Participants try a scaled-down Strategic Intent canvas on their own organisation in pairs.
Leadership as what leaders actually do, not what they say. The honest examination of the gap between stated and lived leadership behaviour.
Netflix as the central case, drawing on No Rules Rules. The four Netflix practice dimensions. Participants try the Culture Frame canvas.
The discipline of working effectively across functions, levels, and contexts. The conditions that turn an org chart into a working organisation.
Ferrari as the central case. The Brand Frame canvas. Participants work the Ferrari diagnostic, then start the same exercise on their own organisation.
Participants pick the pillar that feels most material to their own organisation, work through a quick Honest Audit, and sketch one operating-practice or consistency commitment.
How OTSP runs over time. The Team Cadence Model. The closing reflection: where does the most material alignment work sit for you, and what is the next step?
One headline tool from each of the five pillars, plus the OTSP Frame and Honest Audit that anchor the day. All included in the digital toolkit you take away.
The four-question framework, Ambition, Arena, Edge, Proof, that makes strategic choices explicit and testable.
The honest examination of the gap between stated leadership behaviour and what leaders actually do, day to day.
A four-dimension canvas (feedback, transparency, decisions, retention) for mapping the lived culture of an organisation.
Surfaces the points in a workflow where information, accountability, or quality falls between teams. Where most execution actually unravels.
A three-column comparison canvas (Ferrari / Patagonia / Us) that surfaces the brand you have versus the brand you intended.
The exercise that runs through the afternoon. A structured way of finding where the most material alignment work in your own organisation actually sits.
Senior leaders who want to understand the methodology before deciding whether to bring it into their own organisation. The architecture is portable. Many of the tools can be used by an individual leader on their own team without commissioning a full pillar workshop.
HR leaders responsible for leadership development, organisational design, or culture work. The five-pillar architecture provides a structured way to assess where leadership teams sit, with a working method for the alignment conversations you often hold without a clear framework.
Cohorts run from 12 to 20 participants. Small enough that everyone gets time in the discussion, large enough for genuine cross-organisational exchange.
The full day, lunch, materials, and digital access to the full OTSP toolkit afterwards. There's also a follow-up call available with James for cohorts who want to take their thinking further.
Yes. Private cohorts are available for HR teams or leadership groups from a single organisation who want to encounter the methodology together before booking pillar work. Use the private cohort enquiry link in the booking panel.
Tickets can be transferred to a colleague or moved to a later cohort up to 14 days before the workshop. Within 14 days, we'll do our best to accommodate but can't guarantee a transfer.
No. The OTSP methodology applies as much to a thirty-person team as a three-thousand-person business. The patterns are the same. Several recent cohorts have included founders of scale-up businesses alongside senior leaders from listed companies.
No. The book is still in manuscript. The workshop is a way of encountering the material before the book is published, and several recent participants have signed up specifically because they wanted the methodology earlier than the book will arrive.
The next cohort opens on Wednesday 17 June in London. Three seats remaining at the time of writing.
