Strategic Account Leadership 2.0

Strategic Account Leadership is Ohten’s foundation program. It is now over a decade in development and has helped over 500 of Ohten’s client account leadership teams to add over $1bn to their revenues and created more purposeful and meaningful relationships between some of the world’s largest organisations.

SEP

Strategic Ecosystem Partnering

We have a unique approach to bringing two organisations together to see a future built together around a co-created vision of what the highest potential could be within that ecosystem. Already proven to deliver $100m’s of unseen potential in large strategic relationships our approach can be deployed quickly to respond to today’s heavily disrupted economic landscape.

EMC+

Ecosystem mentoring/coaching and non-exec support

Increasingly market-leading businesses recognise they are a contributor to and depend on the health of the industry ecosystem they operate within. A new awareness of what it will take to shape cultures and leaders to thrive in this complex web of interdependencies is opening up. Ohten’s leaders have worked with some of the world’s leading academics, change makers and senior executives on this agenda.

EcT

Eco Tribe

Over the past decade we have worked with some of the world’s most insightful, purposeful and wonderful people. We are being asked how can individuals stay connected to the work Ohten has brought to their professional lives on a more individual level.

OO

Ohten Open

We are committed to bringing what we have learned and what we are exploring to those less able to access programs from a funding perspective.

The Ohten Guiding Principles...

Our work can help to save the world through key businesses and the massive influence they can have for good and positive change. Doing more than our bit to ensure we all leave a healthy planet; mentally, physically and economically for future generations.

Approach our work with an open heart, an open mind and an open will. Seek to create safe spaces for experimentation and co-design that allow often historically competing entities to seek the highest potential in a future they can create together.

Develop our current and design new social technology platforms that continue to help our clients and their key strategic partners, key internal functions/divisions, key clients or suppliers to see things in new ways. See through the eyes of ECO not EGO, and build levels of trust that provide healthy workplaces to flourish mentally, physically and economically.

Be the change we seek in the world…keep asking what else can we do…and must we do to create a sustainable future for leaders in an increasingly disruptive and changing world in which the old ways are ceasing to be effective any longer.

Love our work and find clients who feel the same way we do about this issue. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE. Allow things to unfold do not force things to happen. The universe is our guide.

Push the boundaries but always be mindful of the need to deliver practical no nonsense work that people can access, understand and get moving with quickly. Our stuff needs to be easy but work at a deep level with people.

Build “Social Technology” platforms that we pass on to our clients and others in our Ecosystem that do not require Ohten to be onsite to activate for the medium term.

Invest in ourselves to stay at the forefront of what “social technology” means and needs to be for the next 100 years.

Take time to rest, play and nourish our hearts and minds with those we love the most.

Do this as long as it feels like a fire burning so bright you could see it from outer space.
