What Keeps Pepper Up at Night?

Constant Trade-Offs

  • Balancing speed, quality, and predictability without burning out her team

  • Pressure from leadership to deliver more with less

Inconsistent Team Performance

  • Some individuals thrive, others struggle — no shared playbook

  • Lack of usable metrcis - project status not accurate resulting in inability to make good priority decisions across projects

Improving Delivery Performance

  • Pressure from the business to do more with less - but the team’s systems, culture and mindset are stuck in the past

  • Misalignment between business functions - often working towards differing objectives and goals

People vs. Process

  • She wants to create a great culture, but is stuck firefighting delivery issues

  • Retention is starting to become an issue; she can feel morale dip during crunch times

How can we support her?

We help Pepper build alignment across stakeholders so that delivery expectations aren’t disconnected from team reality. Through facilitation and coaching, we:

  • Establish shared understanding of priorities

  • Encourage realistic planning practices rooted in agile values (predictability and sustainability)

  • Shift the focus from speed alone to value delivery over time

Pepper doesn’t need more frameworks — she needs a team environment that supports agility. We help by:

  • Co-designing lightweight rituals and routines that fit her context

  • Supporting team leads in defining what good looks like, together

  • Mapping delivery flows to highlight bottlenecks and invisible blockers

Pepper’s challenge isn’t just output — it’s leadership growth inside the team. We offer:

  • Coaching for new or aspiring team leads

  • Tools to increase psychological safety and shared ownership

  • Approaches for peer-to-peer feedback that feels human, not HR

Agile isn’t just about standups and boards — it’s how people feel when they work. We help Pepper:

  • Navigate team dynamics with empathy and clarity

  • Model adaptive leadership in the face of ambiguity

  • Lead cultural change without stepping on toes or burning bridges

What’s Getting in Henry’s Way?

Strategy-to-Delivery Breakdown

  • Strategic vision is clear on paper, but delivery across teams is inconsistent

  • Struggles to track what’s actually happening on the ground in real time

Cross-Functional Coordination Woes

  • Teams and departments aren’t aligned in how they deliver work

  • Everyone’s using their own language and tools, which causes friction and missed handoffs

Top-Down Culture Vs. Team

  • The wider organisation leans toward command and control

  • Henry wants his delivery teams to be more empowered, but feels blocked by legacy behaviours.

Change without buy-in

  • Change initiatives often get rolled out from the top

  • Staff feel like passengers, not drivers - which leads to resistance or apathy.

How can we support him?

We help Henry connect high-level strategy with meaningful day-to-day execution. Through practical tools and leadership coaching, we:

  • Support teams in linking work to strategic outcomes

  • Introduce ways to track real delivery health (not just status reports)

  • Help leadership teams make smarter trade-offs with clearer insight

It’s not about one perfect framework — it’s about shared ways of working. We help Henry:

  • Facilitate cross-functional alignment sessions (no fluff, just clarity)

  • Establish working agreements that respect local context

  • Reduce confusion by simplifying tooling and handoffs

Culture change doesn’t need to be loud — it needs to be lived. Evolue helps Henry:

  • Grow leadership confidence across his department

  • Replace control with clarity and trust, one team at a time

  • Introduce adaptive practices that fit the organisation rather than fighting it

We help Henry shift from rollout to co-creation. That means:

  • Listening to what's not being said in change feedback

  • Equipping team leads with the confidence to own the journey

  • Co-designing change that people actually believe in — and can see themselves in

Vision Without Traction

  • Lucy sees where the brand and marketing function need to go — but operations aren’t keeping up

  • She feels the gap between strategic intent and daily execution growing wider

Siloed Progress

  • Marketing operates in a vacuum — collaboration with product, data, or tech feels forced or transactional

  • Everyone’s moving, but not in sync

Reactive Talent Development

  • She wants to build the next generation of leaders, but most development happens in crisis or not at all

  • Promising team members aren’t growing fast enough to take on what’s coming

Big Ideas. Limited Buy-In.

  • Lucy brings fresh thinking and bold direction — but struggles to get others excited or aligned

  • Stakeholders nod in meetings but resist or delay once the work starts

What Lucy’s Up Against

We help Lucy map her strategy to daily behaviours and delivery. That means:

  • Co-creating alignment rituals that link strategy to day-to-day work

  • Helping her team define and measure what progress actually looks like

  • Making delivery pace match ambition — without burnout

We don’t wait for a crisis to build capability. With Lucy, we:

  • Identify potential future leaders and design real development opportunities inside the day job

  • Coach current managers to grow as mentors, not just task drivers

  • Set up safe spaces for experimentation and learning that tie back to outcomes

Cross-functional doesn't have to mean chaotic. Evolue helps Lucy:

  • Establish consistent touchpoints and language with other departments

  • Redesign collaboration structures to make joint working the default

  • Reduce “marketing vs. the rest” tension by building shared accountability

We support Lucy in turning inspiration into mobilisation. We help:

  • Shape messaging and storytelling that gets buy-in from across the business

  • Equip her with tools to lead through influence, not just hierarchy

  • Translate vision into emotionally resonant, practically actionable steps

What’s Getting in Ron’s Way?

Disconnected from the Bigger Picture

  • Ron can’t see how his work connects to the organisation’s strategy

  • He’s left out of conversations that would give him context and purpose

Stuck in Legacy Ways of Working

  • He’s surrounded by “we’ve always done it this way”

  • Tools and processes are dated, and new initiatives feel performative

Change Happens To Him, Not With Him

  • New tools, new leaders, new priorities — all with little warning or explanation

  • He feels like a cog, not a contributor

Wants to Grow, but Has No Map

  • Ron wants to invest in himself and his career

  • But development feels passive — optional training modules, not meaningful progression

How can we support him?

Ron needs purpose, not just tickets. We help:

  • Translate strategy into team and individual context

  • Create spaces where analysts and contributors can challenge, ask questions, and feel valued

  • Show how “invisible” work fuels customer and business success

Change should happen with people. Evolue supports:

  • Involving Ron in shaping how change lands — not just delivering it

  • Co-designing improvements that actually reflect day-to-day challenges

  • Helping leaders build psychological safety and transparency into transitions

Ron wants to grow — give him more than LMS logins. We help by:

  • Identifying growth paths that match his interests and strengths

  • Pairing emerging talent with mentors and stretch opportunities

  • Normalising feedback and reflection as tools for growth, not performance reviews

Ron wants to be seen as more than a function. We help:

  • Shift team dynamics to value diverse inputs and working styles

  • Promote inclusive collaboration across silos

  • Elevate contributors’ voices in retrospectives, planning, and delivery reviews
