Practitioners - not process factories

You are not buying generic consulting. You are buying independent clarity, a lower-regret first step, and outputs you can use at board level immediately.

What we do

  • Every engagement led by a Principal Consultant who has operated at the level they are advising
  • Commercially oriented - paid to find profit, not to sell more consulting
  • Honest - we will tell you if the evidence does not support the investment
  • Independent - benchmarked against 150+ businesses; we know what good looks like for a business your size

What we are not

  • A generalist strategy firm charging for frameworks
  • A technology integrator with a platform to sell
  • A staffing business with an interim bench
  • A firm that produces reports that sit in a drawer

Frequently asked questions

What is the Company Wide Diagnostic?

The Company Wide Diagnostic is a 60-day, fixed-fee 360° analysis that looks across all major functions and interfaces - not just isolated departments. It identifies strengths, weaknesses, and systemic issues that affect growth, scalability, and operational performance.

How long does the Company Wide Diagnostic take?

Sixty working days. A structured, end-to-end assessment of your entire organisation - analysing performance, processes, people, technology, and leadership.

How much does the Company Wide Diagnostic cost?

The Company Wide Diagnostic is offered at bespoke pricing, scoped to the size and complexity of the organisation and agreed on the scoping call.

What does the Company Wide Diagnostic deliver?

Six deliverables: a Leadership Playback Pack, alignment across leadership on the real issues and required actions, root cause analysis of systematic issues (not just symptoms), a Quantified Opportunity Model for cost, capacity, productivity and risk reduction, prioritised recommendations, and a sequenced transformation roadmap for stabilisation, improvement, and transformation.

When should a board commission the Company Wide Diagnostic?

When the business needs to reset, refocus, or accelerate performance: growth is slowing or scalability is under pressure, transformation programmes are underperforming, leadership lacks a clear shared view of the issues, or operational problems persist despite local fixes.

Who leads the Company Wide Diagnostic?

A lead Principal Consultant accountable for the overall assessment and findings, supported by senior workstream resource. All workstream leads are senior practitioners who have operated at the level they are advising - not junior analysts.

What is the Quantified Opportunity Model?

The model maps each identified opportunity across cost, capacity, productivity, and risk reduction against the cost of implementation and expected return - giving leadership a defensible basis for confident investment decisions.

How do you handle sensitive findings - for example about leadership performance?

We present findings directly and accurately. If the assessment identifies leadership performance issues, we raise them in the appropriate forum - typically with the board chair or lead investor - and we do not soften findings to avoid difficult conversations.

Can the Company Wide Diagnostic be used to prepare for an acquisition, merger, or exit?

Yes. Understanding the current state of the business, the improvement opportunities, and having independent evidence to support the management narrative strengthens both the negotiating position and the vendor due diligence process.

What happens after the Company Wide Diagnostic is complete?

The diagnostic ends with a board-ready case and a sequenced transformation roadmap. Natural next steps are Implementation (Delivery), interim or fractional Leadership, or Programme Management & Recovery - depending on what the findings reveal.

All engagements are led by senior practitioners - not junior teams.
