The Sixsess Consultancy - Who We Are
About Us
The Sixsess Consultancy
The People, Experience and Thinking Behind Executive Decision Acceleration (EDA)
The Sixsess Consultancy's Executive Decision Acceleration
We developed our Executive Decision Acceleration (EDA) as an organisational operating system for better judgement, better decisions and better execution.
Our work brings together people, strategy, organisational capability and disciplined execution – enabling leadership teams to make better use of the knowledge, experience and capabilities already within their organisations.
Executive Decision Acceleration has been developed from more than five decades of practical experience in environments where judgement, leadership, people, strategy and execution carry real consequences.
The Sixsess Consultancy’s founder Barry Eustance’s career has included founding and running businesses, international aircraft sales, senior airline leadership, nearly 25 years flying wide-body long-haul commercial aircraft, national trade union leadership, complex corporate negotiation and management consulting.
Those experiences span the operational frontline, executive leadership, corporate, government and institutional environments – and different sides of consequential organisational decisions.
They have been brought together in Executive Decision Acceleration – Enhancing Judgement Under Pressure – A Field Guide, which sets out the intellectual and practical architecture behind EDA.
We work with leadership teams to enhance, align and embed organisational decision-making capability – and directly alongside leaders when a consequential decision need to be made as a matter of urgency.
Our Commitment
We believe effective consulting should leave an organisation stronger than we found it.
Our purpose is not to create dependency, add unnecessary process or impose generic solutions.
It is to work with organisations to understand what is actually happening, make better use of the capabilities they already possess and strengthen their ability to think, decide and execute effectively.
Our work is grounded in practical experience, professional consulting disciplines, ethical practice and a commitment to long-term client relationships.
Our thinking is also shared through our:
Executive Decision Acceleration – Enhancing Judgement Under Pressure – A Field Guide
our other Guides, Insights, Podcasts and professional development work.
What We Believe
We believe:
Organisations rarely lack intelligence, experience or information.
The greater challenge is creating the conditions in which those capabilities can work effectively together.
We believe:
capable people should be empowered to think, challenge and contribute
information should create understanding, not simply accumulate
strategy should inform decisions rather than become an annual exercise
leadership should create clarity, trust and accountability
decisions should lead to effective execution
organisations should learn from outcomes and adapt
No methodology removes uncertainty and no organisation makes perfect decisions.
The objective is more practical – to create the organisational conditions in which better judgement, better decisions and better execution become more consistent.
That is the thinking behind Executive Decision Acceleration.
