Who will help is almost always defined by the nature of the problem, and not by the industry or geography involved
For example, we help management teams who have tried to solve a particular problem, drive a transaction, start a new business line, but can’t. We are the add-on leadership that can figure out a path forward, quickly, and then start moving the ball forward.
We like working with CEOs, Chairpersons, Investors and Senior Government Officials. When these sorts of individuals want something done, they typically aren’t interested in having to teach the solution provider their job. We know our job. An hour of a Chairperson’s, CEO’s, Minister’s or even Prime Minister’s time has driven weeks and even months of productive, focused work precisely because once we have understood the vision and the resources available to us, we are good at figuring out all the rest.
We also help in important situations where others have tried and failed. Sometimes the “help” that got contracted, isn’t very helpful. When a reset is necessary, and the regular cast of blue-chip consulting characters won’t touch the work, we step in. Again, assessing the situation, thinking, observing, planning, and then acting decisively to bring order to what mess we have inherited.
Bottom line: we help those who need mature, commercially-savvy, investment-wise operators who can be trusted to take on a problem, analyze the situation fully, present realistic options, and then go implement what is it they have recommended. We do so with hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves leadership, with diplomacy, with mindfulness, and with bureaucracy-breaking force if that is what is what is asked of us.
Who we are helping right now:
We are helping companies, small and large, and humanitarian organizations in North America and Europe who are in need of:
Rapidly deployed training to better manage remote teams.
Ready-to-use approaches to support at-risk and disproportionally-impacted employees.
New management practices to reduce risk, increase cohesion, and improve business and operational continuity.
Someone to orchestrate recovery and reconstruction planning so to accelerate the return when it comes.
An experienced process expert, to guide product and service pivots that are vital to capturing some of the spending that is still occurring.
