Technical

Technical organisations operate across long value chains, multiple sites and highly specialised functions. Strategic ambitions are often clear, but translating them into consistent leadership behaviour, effective collaboration and day-to-day decision-making is where value is won or lost. Even small misalignments or misunderstandings can carry significant financial and operational risk, making urgency and attention to detail critical.

InContext works with leaders in complex technical environments to make strategy tangible in daily practice. By focusing on leadership, behaviour and culture, we help organisations improve alignment, strengthen cross-silo collaboration, and realise sustainable business value through stronger ownership and accountability, while navigating the pressures of technological and market-driven disruption, including digitalisation, the energy transition and new business models.

Leadership and behaviour as levers for performance

Our work in technical organisations is grounded in the belief that sustainable performance improvement requires more than process optimisation or structural change. Real impact comes from how leaders lead, how teams collaborate across silos and how decisions are made along the value chain, particularly when small errors or delays have significant consequences. We help leaders create clarity on strategic priorities and translate these into concrete expectations for behaviour, decision-making and collaboration.

Based on extensive experience in complex technical contexts, we see that impact is created when leaders focus on a small number of critical areas. This often includes strengthening cross-silo collaboration, clarifying ownership and decision-making, and creating space for learning and continuous improvement. These focus areas are shaped by the organisation’s strategy and context, ensuring that leadership and organisational development directly contribute to business performance and a strong performance culture.

Leadership and behaviour as levers for performance

How we can help

Technical organisations face constant pressure to deliver results while managing complexity, safety, innovation, operational excellence and external disruption. We help leaders and teams translate strategic ambitions into concrete behaviour, ownership and ways of working that drive measurable value through an integrated, context-specific Strategy to Value approach.

Strategic priorities become visible in how work is organised, how teams collaborate across silos and how performance is managed, reducing risk and preventing costly failures. Our interventions fit operational realities and business cycles, enabling leaders to strengthen collaboration, improve decision-making and take ownership. A human, people-centred leadership approach delivers soft leadership skills that drive hard operational and business results.
