Is SUM for you?
Ineffective management styles, dysfunctional teams, mismatched values?
Misaligned teams and unaware managers stand in the way of purpose and performance, leaving colleagues deflated, disconnected, and disengaged.
We work with leaders committed to breaking out of this downward spiral. We create the spaces for leadership teams to address these obstacles, create great teams, and perform together.
Typical issues for Sum Space
External challenges like market dynamics, disruptive technologies, fierce competition, geopolitical turbulences, and war for talent are raising the bar for many companies. You need to be at your best in your leadership team to properly address these challenges.
However, in addition to these external challenges, many companies struggle with a series of internal obstacles and blockers:
We look at the whole picture, distil the relevant questions and create formats to co-create better answers.
- Lack of growth engines and innovation pipeline
- Lack of business performance
- Sloppy strategy implementation
- Missed M&A opportunities
- Siloed thinking and organizational complexity
- No compelling purpose
- Lack of trust and cohesion within teams
- Insecure personalities, ‘knower attitudes’, blaming, victim mindsets
Big opportunities
As part of your team journey, we help tease out your hopes and dreams, encouraging you to sharpen and share your purpose so you can bring your strengths to the team. We identify what is working well and how it can be further leveraged.

What our clients say
Chief People & Organization Officer
"We actually felt real ownership because of the way the workshop was facilitated, because of the way it was structured. I think that's really part of the success: it really drives ownership."
Country CEO
“Working with Sum was a game changer for our dynamics on the leadership team. Clearly. Before it was full of individuals, but not a team, a lot of mistrust. People looking at each other, but not talking or not talking openly. Only by bringing you on board did we manage to grow together as a team.”
CEO
"The IT, WE, I Framework is so simple. It works."
Chief People & Organization Officer
"Next week will be the fourth session with Sum and the team. And I think what's nice about that is, they will build on what we've done before, there is a value to the longitudinal experience, the journey."
CEO
"I have never met a consultant that was able to get people to open up so much, to then bond stronger, to then jointly face the volatile world out there."
Chief People & Organization Officer
"I really think that the work with Sum has been instrumental in helping this new executive team really form and come together."
CEO
"Why would I call Sum? Surely at the beginning of a transformation. Especially for the C-level, Sum has an understandable, easy, and convincing approach. So, we often invite them when we are reconfiguring our executive team."
CEO
"In all my previous executive teams I had to spend 40% to be prepared for the next attack coming from somewhere. Since we have been working with sum this went down to 0: we are not wasting energy on internal fights, we channel all energy towards the external challenges."
