Our work helps leaders move from strategic intent to credible execution and embedded capability — without creating dependency on large external teams or long-running consulting programmes.
Engagements are intentionally bounded, outcome-focused, and delivered directly by experienced practitioners.
Our services are typically used by:
- Senior leaders accountable for complex change or transformation
- Organisations experiencing delivery risk, loss of confidence, or governance strain
- Teams with strong intent but unclear structure, sequencing, or ownership
- Leaders seeking experienced judgement rather than additional delivery capacity
Senior, hands-on change and delivery leadership provided through time-bound, day-rate engagements.
This service is used when organisations need steady leadership to stabilise, structure, or progress critical initiatives — particularly where confidence is fragile or momentum has stalled.
Typical focus areas include:
- Programme or portfolio stabilisation
- Interim change or delivery leadership
- Establishing credible governance and delivery rhythms
- Supporting senior sponsors through high-risk phases
These engagements are deliberately bounded and designed to strengthen internal capability, not replace it.
**Best suited for:**
Organisations needing experienced leadership within the work, for a defined period, to regain control and momentum.
Short, focused assessments providing clarity on delivery health, change readiness, governance effectiveness, and risk.
Diagnostics are designed to surface what is really happening — not just what is reported — and to create actionable insight before significant investment or structural decisions are made.
Outputs typically include:
- Clear view of delivery health and material risks
- Assessment of governance, roles, and decision-making effectiveness
- Practical, prioritised recommendations grounded in reality
This work is fast, contained, and decision-oriented.
**Best suited for:**
Leaders who need an independent, experienced view before committing to major change, recovery activity, or further investment.
Design support translating strategic ambition into a credible, executable change and delivery model.
This service focuses on shaping how change will be delivered, not producing abstract frameworks. Work commonly includes:
- Governance and decision-making design
- Role clarity and leadership accountability
- Sequencing and phasing of change
- Practical operating principles for delivery
The emphasis is on simplicity, realism, and sustainability.
**Best suited for:**
Organisations with clear strategic intent but uncertainty about how to deliver it in practice.
Pre-purchased, time-boxed advisory support for senior leaders seeking experienced judgement, sense-checking, and decision support — without ongoing delivery ownership.
Advisory Surgery provides access to calm, independent thinking at moments that matter, such as:
- Preparing for key decisions or board conversations
- Sense-checking plans, structures, or approaches
- Navigating ambiguity, resistance, or competing pressures
There is no requirement for ongoing engagement beyond the agreed time.
**Best suited for:**
Senior leaders who value experienced perspective and want support without adding complexity.
