Build
Build, iterate and develop the business together with us.
We work alongside the leadership team as the strategy moves into reality, testing assumptions, refining the offer, engaging the market, building capability and adapting the plan as new evidence emerges.

Stronger market traction, greater organizational capability and a business increasingly equipped to grow.
For CEOs, founders, owners, board members and leadership teams facing important decisions, change or the pressure of running a business.
Leadership support
01
Leadership Intelligence Pack™
As responsibilities grow, so does the value of having space to reflect, gain perspective and make better decisions. You are expected to make decisions, support your team and keep the business moving, often while managing change yourself.
We start with the challenges you are actually facing. Together we work out where your attention is needed, what you want to change and how to make progress. The support can involve coaching, strategic sparring and working with your leadership team.
See your leadership situation more clearly.
We look at your responsibilities, ambitions, current challenges and the people around you. We talk through what is working, where decisions are getting stuck and where a different approach could make a meaningful difference.
You get:
A clear picture of your priorities and the areas where you could benefit most from focused support.
Decide what needs to change.
A useful plan starts with a few clear choices. Together we decide what to focus on and turn those priorities into actions linked to your daily work, your team and the decisions ahead.
You get:
A practical leadership plan with clear priorities and next steps.
Put the work into practice.
Plans only matter if they change what happens. We stay involved through coaching, honest discussion and work with your team. As situations change, we review what is working and adjust the approach.
You get:
Better decisions, stronger working relationships and a team better equipped to handle growth and change.
Want to go further?
A confidential space for the decisions you cannot easily discuss elsewhere.
CEOs and founders do not always have someone they can speak openly with about difficult choices. Our yearlong programme gives you access to an experienced mentor who can question your assumptions, offer another perspective and support you as you work through the challenges of leading a company.
The conversations are confidential and grounded in your business. We draw on 50 years of entrepreneurial experience, but the starting point is always your situation and what you need to work through.
We provide:
Strategic sparring
Talk through important choices, test ideas and challenge assumptions before you act.
Support through change
Strengthen your leadership, manage change and move your business forward with confidence.
Innovation and opportunity
Look at new possibilities, question existing approaches and consider what they mean for your company.
The demands of leadership
Find ways to manage pressure, protect your judgement and remain effective in the role.
We begin by getting to know you, your role and the business. We agree on what you want from the partnership, then meet regularly to work through the decisions, challenges and opportunities that arise throughout the year.
You remain responsible for your decisions. Our role is to offer experience, an independent perspective and a place to think things through openly.
We discuss your leadership style, the company's situation and what you want to achieve during the year.
Finding the right fit
We consider how our experience and way of working fit your needs.
Setting priorities
We identify the decisions, goals and challenges you want to spend time on.
Agreeing how to work together
We establish expectations and make sure the support fits your values and the company's culture.
Regular sparring sessions
We discuss live issues, test ideas and work through strategic decisions as they arise.
Support when circumstances change
You can seek advice when urgent decisions or significant changes call for another perspective.
Looking back
We review what has changed, which decisions made a difference and where further development is needed.
Looking ahead
We discuss your next priorities and how to carry the progress forward.
For companies that want to grow, develop new opportunities and get better at bringing ideas to market.
Growth and innovation support
02
Growth & Innovation Intelligence Pack™
A company can have an attractive opportunity and still struggle to make progress. The market may be changing, the team may be stretched or the next decision may be unclear.
We support leadership teams in looking at the business with fresh eyes. That means understanding its position, deciding which opportunities are worth pursuing and what the company needs to deliver on them.
Find out where the real opportunities are.
We examine the business, its customers, competitors, market position and ability to develop new ideas. We also look at the practical constraints, including where time, skills or resources are missing. We question assumptions and identify the opportunities most worth exploring.
You get:
A clearer view of the company's position, its strongest opportunities and the issues that need attention first.
Choose a direction and make a plan.
We work with the leadership team to decide what to pursue, what to leave behind and what it will take to move forward. Together we set priorities, define responsibilities and agree on the actions and resources needed.
You get:
A focused plan for growth and innovation, with decisions made and responsibilities clear.
Make the strategy work in the business.
We stay involved as the company puts the plan into action. That can mean testing an offer with customers, developing partnerships, improving market traction or strengthening the team. We review results and adjust as we learn what works.
You get:
A business with stronger market traction, more room to innovate and better conditions for growth.
Need more hands-on support?
The company may be ready for its next stage before the team is. Growth, transformation and leadership changes can create gaps in experience or available time.
Our interim assignments bring experienced leaders into the business for a defined period. They take on responsibility, support the existing team and keep important work moving while the organisation develops the capability it needs.
Whether the challenge is rapid growth, a digital change programme or a vacant leadership role, the aim is practical support where it will make a difference.
Board experience that makes a difference.
A good board should do more than oversee the company. It should ask difficult questions, support management in considering what lies ahead and keep long-term interests in view.
We bring 50 years of entrepreneurial experience to board assignments, combining practical knowledge of building businesses with strategic oversight. Our focus is on constructive challenge, sound governance and decisions that serve the company over time.
Our involvement starts with understanding the business and what its board needs. We agree on where our experience can be useful, then contribute through active board work, strategic discussion and regular review of the board's effectiveness.
We look at the company's direction, the board's current strengths and the experience it may be missing.
Board skills
We identify the skills and perspectives needed for the challenges ahead.
Alignment
We discuss expectations with owners and founders and make sure we understand the company's goals and values.
Mandate
We agree on the contribution expected from the role and the issues that deserve particular attention.
We take an active role in governance and strategic discussion, bringing an outside perspective while respecting the responsibilities of the board and management.
Governance
We support clear oversight, responsible decisions and attention to both immediate risks and long term interests.
Innovation
We challenge established thinking and equip the team to assess emerging opportunities and problems.
Integrity
We take the company's values and our responsibilities to owners seriously in the decisions we shape.
Board effectiveness
We take part in evaluating how well the board is working and where it can improve.
Succession
We support planning for future leadership and changes in the board's skills and composition.
Reporting
We give owners a clear view of our assessment of the business and its priorities.
For countries, regions and public leaders working to improve the conditions for business, investment and innovation.
Economic development and innovation systems
03
Growth & Innovation Capacity Pack™
A region's ability to innovate depends on more than its individual companies. Researchers, entrepreneurs, investors, industry and public institutions need ways to work together. When the connections or support structures are weak, promising ideas can struggle to get anywhere.
We support regions and countries in understanding how their innovation systems work today, where the gaps are and what changes could have the greatest effect. Then we work with the people involved to develop and put those changes into practice.
See how the system works today.
We look at the region's industries, businesses, research environments, talent, sources of capital, institutions and infrastructure. We compare its position with relevant peers and identify strengths, missing connections and opportunities worth pursuing.
You get:
A shared understanding of the current situation, the main barriers to progress and the areas with the strongest potential.
Agree on what to change and who needs to be involved.
Good analysis is only useful when people can act on it. We bring decision makers and other stakeholders together to agree on priorities, decide where to invest effort and develop programmes and initiatives with clear responsibilities.
You get:
A workable plan for economic development and innovation, with agreed priorities, partners and next steps.
Put the plan to work across the system.
We support public and private organisations as they develop programmes, partnerships, investment initiatives and international collaborations. We follow what is working, learn from the results and make changes where needed.
You get:
Stronger connections between organisations, better support for innovation and a region better placed to attract investment and sustain growth.
