CLOUDS AND BOXES
Strategy is often an inspiring vision, floating high in the Clouds, while execution lives in Boxes—programmes, projects, and deliverables struggling to stay connected. The gap between them is where strategy either thrives or dies. Too many organisations pour effort into planning, only to watch their ideas drift, never fully landing in execution. So how do we bridge Clouds and Boxes to make strategy real? This story explores the missing link—and why getting it right changes everything.
TRANSACTION OR RELATIONSHIP?
Culture isn’t what’s written—it’s what’s lived. Businesses often treat culture as a statement, but it’s really a relationship. Cracking Culture uncovers the hidden dynamics that shape engagement, shifting from compliance to commitment.

FROM STUCK TO SOLVING
From Stuck to Structured – Tackling Wicked Challenges™
Wicked problems are everywhere—messy, unpredictable, and seemingly impossible to solve. But what if we’ve been looking at them the wrong way?

CHANGE CHICKEN AND EGG
Should organisations start with Where We Are Now or Where We Need to Be? It’s rarely a simple choice. The real challenge is ensuring clarity before acting.
The Six ITs™ framework helps organisations resolve, not just solve, change by focusing on key areas: Do we have the right people and sponsorship? Are we engaging the right perspectives? Are we addressing the real issue?
Change isn’t about either/or thinking— it’s about building readiness, alignment, and continuous learning.
THE HEROIC LEADER
True transformation isn’t driven by heroic leaders but by creating an environment where everyone is ready to act, adapt, and contribute. By focusing on readiness over resistance, organisations can foster alignment, trust, and collaboration, turning change into a shared journey rather than a top-down directive.
NOT RESISTANCE IS IT?
Explore how change is less about managing resistance and more about fostering readiness. At YourBigPic, we shift the focus from obstacles to opportunities, empowering teams to embrace transformation with a proactive mindset. Discover the power of readiness over resistance in achieving meaningful change.
