Common questions from leaders
Why not just train them
Training is theoretical. Embedded builds capability in real situations.
Why not hire experienced people
Your team knows your business. We develop their strategic capability fast.
Can they learn online
Information isn’t transformation. Practice with accountability is.
They’re already experienced
Delivery experience doesn’t equal strategic thinking. We close that gap.

Embedded FAQ
What does “embedded” actually look like
We step into meetings, observe sprints, and work alongside leaders during key moments, coaching in context.
How do we know it’s working
We agree capability objectives up‑front, then review progress against outcomes and behaviours, not just tasks.
How often do you engage
From Touch to Double. We match cadence to urgency and objectives.
Does Embedded replace our managers
No. We strengthen your leaders and systems so capability remains when we step back.
How much faster could your team move with strategic thinking capability
Let’s build it together, in the work.
