DeliverStart2Finish™
DeliverStart2Finish™ is for leaders who care about legacy and rigour,
doing the difficult work and staying the course.
It’s not for everyone.
DeliverStart2Finish™ is our full term leadership team development programme
It enables the delivery of remarkable results in a remarkable way.
Depending on business cycle or project duration, DS2F builds over a one to five-year period.
It's a recursive programme - the impact gets stronger over time.
This is our process
The process involves a series of Leadership Team Focus Days where all the team members are present, engaged, and work together to appreciate progress, identify priorities and produce a team plan to advance towards the desired remarkable result. LTFDs are repeated from wherever we start right through to the finish – the realisation of the desired remarkable result.
We coach within the DS2F process and coach the team leader.
In the first Leadership Team Focus Day (LTFD) the team aligns on its goal, the remarkable result. And then produce their draft strategy to get from here to there.
From the strategy the team agrees priorities and develops their Team Plan for the next three months.
In the second LTFD the team assesses and appreciates its progress, identifies the priorities in relation to their goal and develops a new Team Plan for the next three months.
There are monthly team reviews between the LTFDs. We coach the leader to ensure the team follows through and maximises its progress prior to the next LTFD. This process is repeated from start to finish.
Our process builds relationship, unity and follow through, and your team delivers remarkable results.
Participant feedback
We have held over a thousand Team Focus Days and Team Focus Zooms in the last twenty-five years.
We get participant feedback at the end of every session; we went back through responses from the past six years.
We analysed these feedback sheets for the words used most frequently by our customers and represented what we found in the word cloud.
We were delighted to find that our customers talk most about RESULTS when they talk about us.
Innovation & Industry Impact
Clients reported the following and a direct correlation with working with Dave Stitt
This is what our customers say:
I think the impact of our sessions with Dave had more of an effect on us as a team then perhaps I realized at the time. But looking back with hindsight, what we ended up achieving in the end was truly amazing, we delivered so much and so quickly working as a really effective team, and as a result we had a very satisfied customer at the end of it.

Dave has been leading and delivering our Leadership in Action programme at CPI since June 2018. I have been one of the beneficiaries of this programme.
I am very impressed by the structure of the programme with a very clear results orientation, the non-jargon style Dave deploys and the little nuggets he shares at every workshop.
Dave has a vast amount of knowledge gained from interactions with senior industry leaders and his extensive reading, and he shares distilled pieces of very useful leadership tips that have helped me immensely in my own progression over the last 12 months into the Director of Strategy role.
I highly recommend this programme for leaders and executives in any organisation and it is a great investment of time and money if companies are genuinely interested in building trust and relationship amongst leaders, and raising performance bar within organisations.
Arun Harish, Strategy Director at CPI
I have worked with Dave on a number of occasions for nearly 15 years, since 2002 in fact. In that time he has created and led development, delivery and improvement programmes for me. For the past 3 years Dave has worked with me and my Divisional board at Interserve Infrastructure guiding and challenging us to become a better board, better leaders and supporting us on our journey to achieving our strategic vision.
Dave’s approach creates the environment and space for strategic thinking whilst developing strong trusting relationships and applying the rigour and structure to ensure we follow though.
I would recommend Dave to leaders who are committed to delivering improved Buisness outcomes and remarkable results at all levels.
