Star Pattern's Guiding Principles
We're in it together. Our partnership is built on transparency and trust.
One size fits one. We customize our approach and materials to meet your organization's culture and unique needs.
Keep it simple. Work is tough enough.
Learn as we go. But also adjust course as the winds shift.
Know your "north star." Always keep it in sight.
What is your north star?
It has been said that, “If you don’t know where you are going, any road will do.”
What road are you on? Where is it taking you? Knowing your north star can provide a sense of purpose and direction. A compass in the sky that is always in sight, your north star can focus and guide you toward fulfilling your goals.
Need help articulating your north star?
Know your north star. Always keep it in sight.
How effective is your organization?
Work sure is complicated these days. Shifting strategies, competing objectives and initiatives, hybrid environments, confusing org structures, attrition, dynamics... Sometimes there’s just so much going on that it’s hard to see the forest through the trees. Sometimes there are issues in the middle of all that vine and bramble but there’s no time to untangle it without getting caught up in it. Sometimes internal organization issues can inhibit your ability to serve your customers and keep an eye on the competition.
Need help diagnosing challenges and opportunities in your organization?
Keep it simple. Work is tough enough.
Is your organization designed to uniquely meet your business needs?
Are you getting the results you want from your organization? How aligned are your strategy, structure, processes, metrics, capabilities, and talent? Are you running your business the way you always have or are you adapting to meet tomorrow’s opportunities?
It may be time to re-think the organization design that is optimal for you, which may not be the one that everyone else is doing. Because cookie cutters are great for, well, cookies.
One size fits one. We customize solutions
to meet your organization’s unique needs and culture.
