Advise

A standingstrategic partner.

Which decisions matter enough to test your thinking before you make them?

What this is

Some decisions need more than a quick answer.

Advise gives you another strategic mind on the decision while it is still being made — to test the reasoning, examine the decision from different angles, and work through what it needs to hold.

Every decision is worked back to the strategy it serves. You leave with the strategic reasoning behind the choice, not just the choice.

Sometimes that’s one conversation. Sometimes it’s a relationship over time.

The thinking happens with you.

The decision stays yours.

Decisions brought here

Each one tied back to the strategy behind it.

A partnership in negotiation.

The work
Each partnership conversation worked through as it happened. Proposed terms, including IP, reviewed from a strategic standpoint, not a legal one.
The strategic reasoning
What to agree to, and what to protect, judged against what the business is building over the long term.

An expansion that needed funding.

The work
Surveys with the people the work serves, to evidence the demand. Funding applications built on that data.
The outcome
The funding was secured.

An agreement that needed to hold.

The work
The operational side of a partnership worked through: inventory, responsibilities, terms.
The outcome
An agreement reached that carries the strategic intent, not just the commercial one.

Client details stay confidential. We can talk you through how the thinking was approached on a call.

Programs

Capabilitythat compounds.

What happens when the capability stays with the people doing the work?

What this is

Programs build strategic thinking through practice.

The group does the thinking. They work with their own context, make and test decisions, and examine the reasoning behind them.

Each cycle gives them another opportunity to use that thinking themselves.

By the end, they can do it again without us.

Capability that compounds

  1. 01Own context
  2. 02Make and test decisions
  3. 03Examine the reasoning

Each cycle gives them another opportunity to use that thinking themselves.

Who commissions it

Councils, education partners, employers and foundations investing in the capability of the people and organisations they support.

Each program is designed with the commissioning partner around the people, context and capability it is intended to develop.

What you leave with

A program designed and delivered with you.

Baselines are agreed at the start, with the shift measured against them.

Build the capability into the people carrying the work.
