We help business leaders navigate the uncertainty of change to realise their strategic aspirations.

In practical terms, this means working together to develop strategies that match ambition, plan implementation of those strategies (from business cases to program design) and support transition (from in-flight program reviews to transformation mobilisation). We offer valuable insights services, such as surveys of market, customer, or capability, to add rigour to analyses. This takes away the guesswork and builds confidence in decision-making.

Bold ambitions depend on rigorous evaluation of options to chart the best course. This is the science and art of strategic decision-making that we have developed expertise in.

Often leaders with a bold ambition are faced with internal capacity and capability challenges. It isn't easy to switch mindset from managing day-to-day urgencies to evaluating long-term priorities.


We are experts in decision support. We provide business leaders with both the capabilities and capacity to unpack the implications of their goals and map a practical path to implementation. Because we are system thinkers, we see the whole picture and strive to architect a realistic set of choices leading to our clients' aspirations. And, as capabilities build, we step back. Our value is in complementing our clients' capabilities. This means that, together, we’re a team.

We offer three ways to engage with our services. This provides you with the flexibility you need to access our capabilities that suit your situation.

Strategy-as-a-service

Do you have responsibility for strategy or transformation but no team to help? Perhaps you're building capability but need to start running now - we can jump into the cockpit with you.


Analyst-on-Demand

Do you have a looming deadline and critical analysis that needs to be completed, but no analysts available? You may be prepping a board paper, need market research done, or have performance metrics to report on. We can do the heavy lifting.

Consulting projects

Do you need independent and experienced support to facilitate development or a refresh of your strategy? Or do you need support planning execution, from change program design and planning to mobilisation, we can help.


Fixed fee

We will work with you to understand your requirements and agree to a fixed fee, reviewed with you annually. This gives you confidence not only in what you’re getting from us but a way of measuring your ROI.

Regular engagement cadence

While we will agree on services to fit your requirements and budget, here’s a breakdown of what to expect.


  • A monthly, quarterly, and annual service cadence helps that will give you what you need when you need it – such as preparation for regular board updates on strategy.


  • A dedicated specialist available for regular one-on-one monthly check-ins with you and ad hoc advice for you and nominated members of your executive team.


  • We also will provide you with a digest of trends analysis and insights, contextualised for insights relevant to your business and strategy.

Analyst on Demand


(FlexiCrew)


You urgently need quality analysis to inform critical decisions. But the right analyst help may not be available (leave, other tasks, or experience gaps). We can handle any urgent analytical needs, such as helping to draft a board paper, performing a market analysis, or helping with a business report. We have the experience and are ready to help at short notice.

What it does

 

FlexiCrew is designed to lower the anxiety that comes from short deadlines to decisions that have a lot hanging on them. We help draft board papers, write reports, conduct analyses, and other 'short order' requirements you may have.

How it works


We're really easy to engage with. You can book a call, send an email, or give us a call to tell us what you need. Then we get to work and won't stop until you're happy.

How long it takes


You're in a hurry with an urgent and important deadline. We respond quickly, applying our experience, tools, and knowledge to help you get there quickly. Depending on the detail and complexity of the request, you could have a final draft within hours or a matter of days. 

Why us


We are experienced strategy analysts, understand member organisations (mutual banks, member associations, etc.), and can nimbly respond to urgent requirements. You could get a contractor, but why would you when could be working with us in a matter of hours!

Consulting projects


Sometimes you need a little extra support to get things across the line. From commercialisation strategy, to cost reduction, to pre-merger analysis, we can help. Here are some types of projects we are really good at.

Strategy review & development:


Is your strategy outdated or facing new challenges? We can either revise your current strategy or develop a new one, involving your leadership team and using data-driven insights for effectiveness.

Future business design:


Have a strategy but are uncertain about the future? We create practical business models and identify the skills and resources needed to bring your strategy to life, bridging the gap between your vision and the details.

Strategy implementation planning:


Have a destination in mind but need guidance? We turn your vision into an actionable plan, identifying capability gaps and evaluating change options to create a roadmap for transforming your vision into reality.

Change / transformation mobilisation:


Ready for change but unsure about your team's readiness? We prepare your team for the journey by establishing clear structures, roles, and standards to minimise risks and maximise investment returns.

Transformation governance:


Is a major change program already in flight, but need to make sure it stays on track? We provide on-going transformation architecture support, recalibrating plans to suit changing circumstances, and providing decision support to stakeholder groups. We help everyone stay focused on the goal.

Business performance improvement:


Want to optimise finances or cut costs? We analyse your performance to find opportunities for improvement, whether it's identifying quick wins or determining cost reductions that won't harm your business, all while taking a sensitive approach to decision-making.
