Client story · Barwood Capital

A leadership team aligned on one strategy, and owning it.

The challenge

Capable at the operational level. Pulling slightly apart at the strategic one.

Barwood Capital needed to bring its leadership team into alignment around a shared vision and values, and to turn that alignment into a concrete strategy and a clear structure.

“Teamscapes made sure everyone in the room was engaged, listened to each other, and got the best out of us as individuals, while binding us together as a team.”
Hugh Elrington · Managing Director, Barwood Capital
What we did

A series of sessions, each building on the last.

We facilitated strategy sessions across 2023 covering three connected areas: culture (a team identity and shared values in line with Barwood’s vision), strategy (a forward plan that fits its goals) and structure (clear roles, so accountability was built into how the team works, not just agreed on paper).

  1. Culture
  2. Strategy
  3. Structure
“What Teamscapes really does is hold up a mirror to us. It takes us out of our day-to-day thinking and allows us to step back and really think about what we’re doing and where we’re going.”
Andrew Barlow · Director & Head of Fund Management, Barwood Capital
