We help organisations find their strategy for success in an improving world
POSSIBLE is a specialist strategy and leadership firm.
We work with global leaders of organisations addressing the biggest opportunities of our time.
Led by founder Andrew Baker, our team works via direct, long-term relationships and applies our proprietary strategy and leadership processes to find novel solutions to our clients’ most pressing issues and opportunities.
Our unique approach
Capturing the biggest opportunities of our time takes new thinking. It means writing a new rulebook with novel solutions to age-old problems.
Breakthroughs often happen at the intersection of diverse disciplines. Diversity brings new perspectives. Getting diverse teams telling the same story can be tough. Making the right decisions is critical. We work across multiple scales and contexts to harness diverse viewpoints, build shared perspectives, and align organisations around a clear strategy for success. Teams emerge with deep insight, true conviction, and the knowledge and planning required to act.
Every story has two sides. When they align, anything is possible.
The art of our process is in harnessing the power of different viewpoints and moving towards a common goal. We apply our proprietary five-step framework to help teams agree the situation, explore the possibilities, exchange commitments and evolve their strategy. After all, a shared perspective enables elite decision-making.
It all starts with five steps:

The Art of the Possible
What if we assumed we could make things better, and then worked out how? We work with leaders who are building organisations for an improving world. Leaders who know there are better ways to produce the goods and services the world needs, and who are not listening to those who say it’s not possible.

Strategy as Ritual. Transforming Business Planning
Description In the rush of day to day business, we often treat strategy as a tedious annual exercise - a box to be ticked, a document to be filed away. But what if we approached it differently? What if we treated strategy not as a chore, but as a ritual?goes here
