Straforma

Join the practice

We are building a practice, not a bench of consultants.

Straforma is building a practice of Directors and Practitioners across Australia who want to do rigorous, useful, human work that helps strategy become behaviour.

We are not looking for people who think the Arena is an interesting idea. We are looking for people who understand the organisational pain it exists to address, and who want to help organisations find their way without needing us in the room forever.

The roles

Two ways to practise with Straforma.

Straforma Director

Holds trusted client relationships and leads Straforma work. Directors carry the relationship, the commercial context and the outcome, and steward the practice as it is applied.

Straforma Practitioner

Brings specialist capability and applies Straforma practices with rigour. Practitioners work inside a defined standard, with supervision and shared practice, and build capability that stays with the client.

Both work inside defined standards, with supervision and shared practice, and are judged on the capability they leave behind. One person may hold more than one role; the roles are always explicit.

We look for people who can

Understand what leaders and organisations are actually carrying

Recognise strategic and organisational pain before it is named

Work with ambiguity without rushing to a framework

Exercise judgement, and say what is evidence, what is inference and what is unknown

Facilitate practice, not deliver presentations

Respect Straforma’s ethos and the people in the room

Build client capability rather than dependency

And who

Are ok if they sit in front of a client without all the answers

Can challenge and be challenged

Care deeply about what happens after the workshop

Can hold commercial reality and humanity together

Value judgement rather than blindly following process

Want to continue developing their craft with people who get it

Register your interest.

Tell us what you have carried, and what you have noticed about organisations under pressure. That matters more to us than a list of methods.
