LEADERSHIP FRAMEWORK
100-Day
Strategy Spark
The 100-Day Strategy Spark is Lauren Thompson's framework for leaders navigating moments of transition, change or strategic reset. It is designed to help you pause, reflect and identify clear directions rooted in place, context and lived experience — and move from vision to action within 100 days.
A framework rooted in place. Delivered by Lauren Thompson.
Making your first
100 days count
Your first 100 days as a leader are your most powerful window for change. The question is how to use them wisely — before the pace of the role takes over and the opportunity to set a clear, grounded direction passes.
The 100 Day Strategy Spark gives you the framework, the thinking space and the expert support to move with clarity and confidence, grounded in the place you lead in and the people you serve.
This is not a generic leadership programme. It is a focused, practical framework that begins with place — understanding the assets, people and context around you — before building the strategic direction that is right for your organisation.
The result is a strategy rooted in reality, not abstraction. One your organisation can genuinely commit to — and deliver within.
THE SPARK FRAMEWORK SUPPORTS LEADERS WHO ARE
01.
New to Post
You have just stepped into a leadership role and want to use your first 100 days to build credibility, understand the landscape and set a clear, confident direction.
02.
Rewriting the Strategy
Your current strategy is not working or the problem has changed. You need to reset with clarity, purpose and a plan that your organisation can genuinely commit to.
03.
Growing Market Share
You want to grow but in a way that is grounded, sustainable and connected to the place and community you operate within. The Spark gives you the strategic direction to do that.
A framework built
on place and people
The 100 Day Strategy Spark is grounded in the understanding that meaningful strategy cannot be lifted from a textbook and dropped into a place — it has to be grown from within it.
It combines strategic rigour with a deep rootedness in local context, lived experience and long-term responsibility.
We work with organisations to build social value methodologies that are outcome-driven and support long-term mission delivery by connecting leadership to the place it operates within.
