STAP is Brimstone's proven methodology to help clients gain – and sustain – the coordination, collaboration and clarity that deliver results. Successfully implemented in a wide range of organizations, STAP is designed to accomplish the following:

Build a Strategic Business Framework
In our experience, most organizations lack a clear, concise strategic roadmap that is grounded in an objective assessment of market realities and internal capabilities. We guide the Senior Team through the development of this "Strategic Business Framework," starting with a short list of the organization's key stakeholders, followed by an objective and set of measures of success for each. To help the organization hit these targets, the team agrees upon a set of overarching strategies, which are then amplified with long-term and short-term initiatives. The resulting one- or two-page document becomes a guide for decision-making and a bridge to successful execution.

Engage the Organization
While developing the Strategic Business Framework, Senior Team members cannot sequester themselves while the enterprise awaits its marching orders. Rather, they must repeatedly test their ideas in the organization – facilitating discussion, collecting feedback and revising the strategy accordingly. Through this iterative process, the team produces not only a cohesive, compelling Framework that fits the business, but also a cadre of engaged employees who are eager to implement the plans they had a role in developing.

Drive the Senior Team to High Performance
STAP is built on a platform that compels the Senior Team to surface and resolve its issues – to operate with a very high degree of explicitness, which enhances teamwork. We help the team engage in open dialogue, get into and out of conflict, reach agreements and enhance decision clarity. Drawing on our extensive global experience, Brimstone coaches both the team and individual leaders on improving their collective and personal performance.
