Strategic Advisory
Get an expert’s perspective
Board Members can often get trapped working ‘in the business’ rather than ‘on the business’.
Strategic advisory consultancy is often needed where organisations seek independence from internal politics, creative thinking as a result of having a different perspective, specialist expertise, awareness of industry best practice, or perhaps simply capacity to examine a particular challenge whilst ensuring the day-to-day functions can continue to be well supported.
Strategy Development
We offer external challenge and diversity of thought to provide appropriate challenge in pursuit of strategy development. Working with Leadership Teams, we strategically use tension and conflict to spur better and more innovative work. We also work with organisations to increase understanding and improve decision making in complex and uncertain contexts.
Independent Review
With experience on many large and complex programmes we can offer to provide independent review of programmes and portfolios. We are familiar with National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority criteria as well as Treasury Investment Appraisal and Evaluation methods.
Organisational Review
We bring a track record in the conduct of strategic review of large complex organisations using structured data collection and analysis methods in order to deliver meaningful conclusions and recommendations. We will bring an objectivity to our work that provides decision support on what can often be difficult organisational choices. We have access to several associates to ensure a breadth of perspectives are brought to bear in the review process.
Board Effectiveness
There is a loneliness that comes with senior leadership. We can offer support to individual Board Members or work with Boards to review their effectiveness. Our consultants have significant board room experience in both the private and public sector, often in challenging and regulated environments. They are Fellows and Members of the Institute of Directors.
