Our mission is...
...to marry people, purpose and process. To align the head, hands and heart. When these often conflicting areas meet and get along, great things happen. POP (Point of Optimum Performance) goes the weasel, if you like.
“We’re consultants, we have a model”
Let’s start with what you would expect to see from a thriving organisation - profitable? healthy cash flow? shareholder value? productivity?
Business has been measuring outputs for centuries, it’s old news (literally, they’re trailing indicators). There’s widespread recognition that the softer side of business can give you a heads up on what the hard numbers will be, and give you a chance of intervening and affecting outcomes.

Navigate the timeline to understand the full route map, in the knowledge it's entirely possible to just stay for leg 1, or, if you know what you want, jump in on leg 3.
We use a combination of interviews, workshops or questionnaires to probe the three Ps (ouch) and plot them against our maturity matrix. The outcome of this determines priorities.
A specific programme of interventions flows from stage one, for you and you alone, that’s your journey. It’s in priority order, each project being designed to deliver it’s own benefits, so you can take as many steps as you have the time and energy for and park the rest, spread it out over time, or go for gold and do them all at once.
This is up to you, your in house skills and your appetite. We can deliver this as a Fractional Executive, in its entirety on a project by project basis, or through training and facilitating your managers.
For businesses that need a level of senior leadership but do not need anyone full time, or want the overhead. We can provide a regular experienced executive according to need, from one day a month, to a day or two a week. The aim is to build a long term relationship until you are ready for a staff member, and get foundations in place so it's easier for new hires to take root. Think a hands on NED.
For bounded projects with a specific outcome in mind, either to provide an external viewpoint, fill a skill gap, or add more hands to the plough. Expect us to share the load, or take the lead, any good consultant should just make your life easier. We're up for any challenge, however our sweet spot is purpose, process, people. This is where we think we can offer something special.
From free resources, to short masterclasses, to the more intense delivery of training days, we can deliver what it takes for you to come away with new skills and changed mindsets to achieve the change yourself. We don’t want to share theory, we want to share experiences, so our training is across subjects relevant to our other projects, namely management and HR.
