Practice areas

Three practices, one team.

A strategy is built by the people who will help you run it, which is why the practices are not separate departments here.

Market position, portfolio, pricing and what to stop doing. Delivered as a board paper with the numbers and the first ninety days of decisions.

Cost, capacity, supply and process. We map how the work actually flows, then change the three things that move the number.

Structure, roles, incentives and the conversations leaders avoid. Done with your team in the room, so it survives us leaving.

How an engagement runs

Four stages, each signed off before the next.

You can stop at the end of any stage. Most clients continue; none are contracted to.

Five days inside the business. Interviews, the numbers, and a written proposal with a fixed fee. Chargeable only if you continue.

Four to six weeks establishing what is actually happening, as opposed to what the reporting says. Presented to the board.

Options with numbers attached, a recommendation, and the first ninety days of decisions with names against them.

Partners embedded with your team until the plan is operating without us. The end date is agreed at the start.

A scoping session, then a written proposal with a fixed fee for phase one.

A named lead for the whole engagement, and you meet them before committing.

Routinely. We would rather fit into what works than replace it.

A first conversation costs nothing and ends with a written outline of what we would do and what it would cost.
