Sequences
Integrated Journeys for Complex Change
A Sequence is a phased roadmap across outcomes.
Big moments don’t become durable advantage on their own. They become noise, or they become legacy, based on whether you can sequence the right moves.
Sequences are how Saxum turns consequential moments into coordinated action.
We build a phased roadmap that connects what leaders decide, what teams do, what stakeholders experience, and what progress proves so change survives the spotlight and keeps moving.
Not a grab-bag. Not “phase one” forever.
A sequence of moves designed to land and compound.
Examples of when Sequences matter:
A new brand that must show up as behavior, service, and proof—not just a launch.
A trust event that requires months of visible action to restore confidence.
A culture shift that must hold under real pressure, not just internal enthusiasm.
These are examples of work that requires longevity, choreography and multiple solutions over time, in the right order.
Why Sequences
When Your Challenge:
- Cuts across internal culture, external reputation, and market performance
- Will unfold over multiple quarters or years
- Can’t be solved by “fixing the campaign” or “refreshing the logo”
You don’t need another project or a single solution. You need a Sequence.
Sequence
Brand-to-Demand
Turning your brand into a living engine for growth.
For organizations that have—or are defining—a strong brand, and now need that brand to drive real-world demand, loyalty, and reputation.
Ideal when
- Your work is out ahead of your reputation and you need to be taken seriously, fast.
- Your CEO, founder, or executive team has a strong vision but no clear public platform.
- You need credibility with funders, partners, or regulators who still see you as “emerging.”
- You want thought leadership that actually shapes critical conversations, not just more content.
What it does
- Gathers insight into how your leader and organization are perceived now (Clarity).
- Defines a focused leadership brand and narrative tied to your institutional direction (Vision).
- Aligns leadership on what the leader will—and won’t—stand for in public.
- Expands presence across media, stages, and networks through a disciplined visibility plan (Influence).
- Sustains and tracks perception growth so reputation compounds over time, not just in spikes.
Sequence
Brand-led Change
Using brand as the spine for organizational transformation.
For institutions using a new strategy, merger, or operating model to reshape who they are, and needing the brand to lead that change internally and externally.
Ideal when
- You’re consolidating entities, programs, or campuses under a single brand.
- A new strategy or plan demands visible behavior change, not just new language.
- Internal teams are wary of “another change initiative” and need a clearer why.
What it does
- Uses brand and story to articulate the future state: what’s changing and what’s not.
- Aligns leaders, managers, and teams around new expectations and behaviors.
- Connects internal engagement, external messaging, and experience so the story holds under pressure.
Sequence
Reputation Recovery
Rebuilding credibility after a breakdown in trust.
For organizations recovering from public missteps, protracted issues, or long-ignored stakeholder concerns.
Ideal when
- You’ve experienced a visible failure, crisis, or controversy.
- Key stakeholders (customers, communities, regulators, donors) no longer take your commitments at face value.
- You need more than a crisis plan; you need a structured path back to trust.
What it does
- Anchors leadership in a truthful, shared understanding of what happened and why it matters (Clarity).
- Defines a new, honest narrative and commitments (Vision + Influence).
- Designs and delivers actions, experiences, and communications that demonstrate change over time (Momentum + Adapt).
Sequence
Under Fire
Leading well in seasons of intense scrutiny.
For leaders and institutions under sustained media, political, or community pressure, where every move, misstep, or silence is amplified.
Ideal when
- You’re facing regulatory, legislative, investigative, or media scrutiny.
- Your leaders are frequently “on the record” and their words and presence now carry more weight.
- Internal morale and external trust are both under strain.
What it does
- Clarifies the real issue landscape and stakeholder power map (Clarity).
- Sharpens leadership narrative and visibility strategy (Influence).
- Creates a structured cadence of communication, engagement, and monitoring to navigate the season with integrity.
Sequence
Catalyst
Build the reputation your ambition deserves.
For growth-stage or mission-driven organizations that need to mature quickly, earning trust and visibility with funders, regulators, partners, and the public.
Ideal when
- Your work is out ahead of your reputation and you need to be taken seriously, fast.
- Your CEO, founder, or executive team has a strong vision but no clear public platform.
- You need credibility with funders, partners, or regulators who still see you as “emerging.”
- You want thought leadership that actually shapes critical conversations, not just more content.
What it does
- A structured performance and maturity assessment across key domains.
- Clear view of strengths, gaps, and risks.
- A prioritized improvement roadmap—where to focus first, and what can wait.
