Our ask? That you bring an open mind!
OUR FOCUS
Transformation Strategy is at the heart of all we do. We work with Chief Executives and their Boards to deliver enterprise changing business wide transformation. Step change not fiddling around the edges. Wholesale transformational change!
We start with CEO / C Suite 1-2-1 interactions, utilising Socratic Mentoring Protocols to develop deep and crystal clear situational awareness mapping, before starting the journey of collective development of a cohesive total enterprise strategy.
We aim to transform the fortunes of your enterprise with leading edge, strategically focused, organisation wide, clear and planned journey.
​
We apply agile transformation protocols which develop plans that deliver step change accelerated time to value.
OUR APPROACH
We specialise in transformational strategic consulting, embracing the principles of Socratic Mentoring & Disruptive Innovation as the foundation of our intellectual approach.
We believe sharing observations openly and clearly, transforming traditional mentoring into a dynamic exchange where both parties contribute to and benefit from our dialogue in the development of enterprise advancement.
This methodology delivers a depth of situational awareness and enterprise positioning typically not found in traditional strategic consulting.
Our intellectual approach challenges established thinking patterns — not through contradiction — but through careful exploration and refinement of ideas.
We maintain the highest standards of ethics and confidentiality; enabling clients the freedom to share experiences, thoughts and "clean sheet" aspirations —both personally and professionally in delivering real change.
We uphold unwavering discretion as a fundamental principle of operation, ensuring all discussions remain exclusively between mentor and mentee.
​
From this comes a deep understanding enabling fresh and clear thinking and the development of radical change
OUR MARKET
We work at board level within businesses ranging from smaller Pre-Revenue to large Public Companies such as Alphabet (Google, Waymo, DeepMind, YouTube) to Cisco, BMW Group (BMW, Rolls Royce, Mini), to Apple and National Governments.
​
We've mentored, advised and guided 100+ maverick business leaders ranging from Founders to Fortune 100 CEOs.
We've chaired SME CEO Mentoring Groups providing; monthly 1-2-1’s, peer group meetings with critical issue addressing sessions & visiting specialists.

​
We start with the "less obvious" questions:
​
1) what impact (other than your enterprise) is there if you closed your doors? Is your proposition / product sufficiently unique?
​
2) what happens if your enterprise follows its current path? What transformation is required to effect REAL change? Is there the task / risk appetite?
