At Reservoir & MARKO Advance, we intend to be at the heart of a transformation of leadership consciousness in pursuit of two essential questions: What world are we called to create? And how do we elevate the human experience? We see leadership and work as a path of self-knowledge and enlightenment. In our client organizations, and in other like-minded organizations around the world, we see the magnitude and diversity of impacts that such leadership creates.
We Advise senior leaders. We Advance leadership development and learning at the C-Suite and mid-level. We Advocate for better outcomes for people and the planet.

At Reservoir & MARKO Advance, we envision a world where organizations are designed with a genetic code to create an essential culture that is built to last far into the future and deliver a diversity of long-term impacts: financial benefits, societal benefits, and environmental benefits.
To create a sustainable society, we must start with a sustainable leadership culture. The objectives of the “Successful Strategic Management & Leadership” workshop are in two-part.
This workshop is designed to engage leadership in a growing organization – or leaders across organizational and industry boundaries – in imagining what wants to happen next in society and what your industry and your organization can do to promote sustainable progress.
We use present casting, futurecasting and turnaround strategy techniques to help leaders visualize the emerging future so they can give birth to better outcomes with the appropriate strategy in hand.
This workshop is right for you, if you are:
How do we harness our leadership mindset to build a stronger, more resilient global economy, and create social value? How do we create a resilient and sustainable strategy?
1- Core Behaviors: How to build engagement in the workplace.
2- Company’s Aim and Ambition: How to create a strategy that factors in the company’s “Why” for KPIs and OKRs.
“Buying a Change” exercise: Understanding what to say yes to, and what to say no to. Identifying your set of choices, or trade-offs, to create a service or offering that is recognizably different from competitors.
1- What are your goals and objectives?
2- What are the key projects and initiatives that will help you reach your measurement for success?
3- How does implementation (including the KPIs and OKRs) fit within your company vision, mission and focus areas? (Will you have executive buy-in?)
4-How does this implementation fit into your personal leadership journey? (Will you lead by example?)
5-Who are your competitors and what choices are they making?
“Eliminate-Reduce-Raise-Create (ERRC)” exercise: “If we are going to prioritize this new product or program, what are we going to reduce or eliminate so that we can be industry leaders in our approach?”
