We help find better ways to lead and organise
The pandemic and its consequences have led many business leaders to accelerate change – or to simplify, or re-think strategies. We help ensure they set up to succeed.
Our clients are CEOs, executive team members, unit and function leaders of major multinational businesses, partnerships, mutuals, privately owned companies, government departments and public services.
Face the turbulence, uncertainty, and disruption in ways that are right for you
We know that off-the shelf approaches are not enough for navigating these most unpredictable times. We help clients in ways that recognise their unique pressures, particular stakeholder challenges, work to their timescales and understand their culture.
Evidence-based analysis
We start with fast and straightforward research and assessment – making the most of your existing data - to understand the particular context and needs of your organisation. We gather objective evidence with a quick analysis of where to prioritise in order to accelerate progress and change.
Stay focused, avoid complexity
We are told our most distinctive strength is helping clients think in simpler, clearer, and more joined-up ways. Unlike some other consultancies we do not over-engineer our solutions or create complexity.
The areas we most commonly

Improving leadership team performance

Work with you
You know your business better than we do. You must make your own decisions about direction, ambition, and strategy. Our role is to help make sure you succeed. We bring experience of how big complex organisations face the toughest of challenges.
We will work with you to transfer our experience and lessons-learnt to you,
and help you get the best out of your organisation for the longer term.
Coaching, mentoring, challenging -
as well as advising
Our approach and style are flexible, but we use a mix of advising, mentoring, and coaching (mainly for teams) to accelerate our client’s progress - and when necessary we also provoke, test and challenge.
At a time of rapid change, progress can be fast, and start quickly
You can move to action in a few weeks. We can help you develop the right action plan that will permanently shift how the organisation works and remove behaviours that get in the way of delivery.
Working with us, you will also improve your team’s capability to carry on working that way, without the need for us.
