Who we are
Extraordinary Minds is a collective of experienced associates with a proven track record of delivering business strategies through leveraging of technology solutions. Most organizations are very focused on day-today management and often lack sufficient time to properly consider how to go about realizing key business strategies. Extraordinary Minds as an objective participant is positioned to supplement this capacity.
Our criteria for Associates, Partners and Staff are as follows:
– Minumum of 15 years practical experience at management level
– Proven track record (all of our Senior Associates have performed as CIOs for major companies)
– Experience in dealing with senior executives and projects at strategic level
– Experience in defining, mobilising and leading significant programmes or projects
We are therefore well experienced to engage as follows:
– Strategic capacity (additional strategic capacity either in interim management roles or as advisors)
– Strategy realization (assistance with structuring projects for delivery)
– Advisory assignments (compiling strategies for key areas that can leverage customer and technology solutions)
What we are interested in
Great leaders need the ability to look ahead and also deal with today’s issues. They require both TELESCOPIC and MICROSCOPIC vision. Having the ability to use both, and understanding when to use either, is a key attribute that differentiates good leaders from those who will be great leaders.
Telescope
Looking ahead using the telescope to scan the landscape for approaching challenges and opportunities and formulate a meaningful STRATEGY.
Our approach is to understand, engage stakeholders, align solution with objectives and then to empower people to implement.
Microscope
We are smart creative PROBLEM SOLVERS who can use the microscope type analytical approach to get to the root of a problem, unpack it pragmatically and articulate it clearly.
Implementation
