Strategic leadership
Running it. fixing it, growing it.
For owners, boards and investors who need a leader alongside them for a season, whether that is a growth push, a turnaround, a sale or a gap at the top. Advisory, fractional or interim, from someone who has sat in the chair and lived with the results.
Who this is for.
An owner with a decision coming.
A board or investor with a company to watch.
A gap at the top.
A sale, a succession, a growth push or a business that has stalled, and nobody in the room who has been through it before.
Someone independent who can look properly, say what they see and, if it comes to it, step in.
A managing director needed for a season rather than a career, with no intention of overstaying.
What we do.
Strategy and direction.
Growth and commercial improvement.
Turnaround and recovery.
Where the business is going, why, and what has to be true for it to get there. Written down in a few pages that people will actually use.
Finding the revenue that is already there and the cost that should not be. Pricing, sales, margin and the discipline to keep them.
When the numbers have turned and time is short. Stabilise cash, face the facts, decide what stays and what goes, then rebuild.
Ownership and succession.
Fractional and interim leadership.
Board and investor advisory.
Passing a business on, selling it, or bringing the next generation in, including in family businesses where the hard conversations are also the family ones.
A managing director or chair for a defined period. Part of the week or all of it, with a clear brief and a clear end.
An independent voice for a board or an investor. Someone who has run the kind of business you are looking at, and will tell you what they see.
How an engagement starts.
A conversation, without a pitch or a deck. Half an hour on what is on your mind, whether we can help, and what that would look like. If it makes sense we agree a short first piece of work with a clear scope and a clear end, and go from there. Advisory, fractional or interim, one day a week or five, for as long as it is useful and no longer.
