ABOUT ALICIA GRIMES
I build teams of brilliant problem solvers. I collaborate with founders, C-Suite and People Leaders in fast-growing companies, embedding service design and product-thinking capabilities within their teams so they can continually adapt, maintain and evolve as fast as the business grows. The companies I work with are usually saying the same things ”We hired brilliant people, we have all the tools, why aren’t we solving our problems?” “We spend more time in meetings talking about work than actually doing it” “We’re so busy all the time but I\'m not sure anyone is working on the right things.” “I can see the strategy clearly. I have no idea why my team can\'t seem to execute it.” If any of that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. How I work → Experiences Less death by PowerPoint, more roll your sleeves up. Facilitated, immersive sessions built around real problems your team is actually experiencing right now. Everyone arrives with something real, everyone leaves with something tangible they can use to fix it. → Cohort An 8-12 week programme anchored in the Company Operating System framework that alternates weekly between learning the skill and applying it to a live problem. Your team co-creates a shared language, a way of working they actually stick to and the problem-solving habits to back it up. Available for leadership teams, manager cohorts, or as a mixed cohort for individual People Ops leaders. → Co-Pilot Monthly 1:1 sessions tied to whatever is live and messy right now, with async support in between. For the senior leader who needs a proper thinking partner, the newly promoted manager who\'s figuring it out as they go, or the People Ops lead who needs support to make some big changes. About me 15+ years of experience and a track record of 100+ startups, scaleups, and FTSE 100s. Namedrop? I would never. But while you\'re here, I\'ve led projects with Heidi, Attest, ContentSquare, Gorilla, Ophelos, Finverity, Sustainable Energy First and Trint to name but a few. I also regularly speak at conferences and events on the future of work, systems thinking and what it actually takes to turn strategy into something your team does every day. If you\'d like to discuss working together or have me speak at your event, I\'d love to hear from you. Message me here or find out more at
