Delivery service
Advisory & Strategy
Decide what to change, in what order – with people who’ve delivered the answer before.
Strategy work that ends in a decision, not a deck. We help executives agree the ambition, test it against what the organisation can absorb, and turn it into a sequenced portfolio with an investment case the board will back. Then we stay to make it real.
The problems we hear
“We have a strategy. We don’t have a plan.”
The ambition is clear at the top and invisible two levels down. Nobody owns the sequence.
“Every function has its own transformation.”
Multiple plans, duplicated spend, and a group paying for all of them.
“The last strategy review produced 80 slides and no decision.”
Analysis without a route to action – and a board that has stopped reading.
What we deliver
01
Executive alignment
A shared view of what will be different in 12, 24 and 36 months – agreed in the room and written down.
02
Digital and technology strategy
Where technology creates value for your organisation, what to build, buy and retire, and in what order.
03
Operating-model design
Who decides, who delivers and how the two talk – drawn with your leaders, not for them.
04
Portfolio shaping and sequencing
Every initiative against value and capacity. Fewer, better-sequenced bets.
05
Investment and business cases
Cases built with finance that the board can fund against and the Value Office can later hold you to.
06
Strategy made visible
Roadmaps and visualisations that customers, staff and partners can understand and get behind.
07
Transformation office set-up
A permanent capability – people, methods and rhythm – so the next wave runs without us.
08
Board and executive advisory
An independent voice in the room when the decision is consequential and the evidence is contested.
A way in, not a methodology.
Every delivery service starts small and earns the next step. Most begin with a short diagnostic that tells you what’s true before anyone commits to a programme.
Step 1
Diagnostic
Interviews, data and a current-state picture. What’s true, what’s assumed, where the money goes.
4–6 weeks
Step 2
Design
Sprints with the leaders who’ll live with the result: ambition, operating model, sequence, case.
6–10 weeks
Step 3
Mobilise
Portfolio stood up, owners named, first programmes launched – through our Transformation Office if you want the capability to stay.
Ongoing, scaled down by design
Who delivers it with
