2.1 Launching Moonshots
We inspire and support organizations in developing “moonshots” – projects that tackle global challenges in aspirational and innovative ways. True moonshots promise change by blending an imaginative vision with a well-defined purpose. At Voluntās, we identify challenges and opportunities, vision articulation and stakeholder involvement from launch to landing.
2.2 Crafting Strategies
Our role is never based on being experts on any specific industry, market, or business model. Voluntas states very clearly that we will never claim to know what the right strategic direction or priorities for any company we work for should be. Rather, Voluntas is rooted in the belief that our clients have enough experience and knowledge to define the best strategy for themselves, leaving us with a role to facilitate a creative, effective and inclusive process towards the final objective. A process that ensures that all the particular knowledge, perspective, and analytical and innovative capacity that resides in the leadership team, in the organization or among suppliers and clients is surfaced, activated, prioritized, structured, and weaved together in a compelling strategy and strategic narrative.
2.3 Organizational (re)design
We empower organizations to break down structural barriers and instead see the organization as a living organism based on a collaborative approach. By understanding your business aspirations, challenges and workflows, we help develop organizational designs that enhance collaboration, streamline processes, and align leadership with strategy and vision, fostering a dynamic and organic growth environment.
