Then we show you your business as it really is. We can undertake market analysis, client and employee satisfaction surveys, cultural resilience assessment, process & pricing analysis, pipeline mapping and explore your firm’s readiness for a merger or acquisition.

EXPERIENCE
Then we apply our experience to these deep insights, together with a good deal of careful thought and creativity. Working in partnership with you, we use our talent to unlock yours. We identify what makes you special. Then we help you focus on that to drive your business forward.
FOCUS
We zero in on what you do best. Working with you, we'll develop a plan to make change happen and get leadership buy-in.
Most businesses aren’t used to managing change. We can keep you focused on what matters.
We monitor your progress against agreed milestones. We will help you to do whatever it takes to embed the change so deeply within your business that it is simply “How we do things round here”.
We keep you on track, always bringing attention back to the initiatives that will make the biggest difference to your business.

effective marketing
profitable growth
To be successful, every business must get under the skin of their ideal client and learn how to do what they want, in the way that they want it for a price they like - more efficiently and profitably than their competitors.

Quotes
Most clients like to keep us as a secret weapon and we never use client names without express authority. Here are some quotes given by our clients (suitably anonymised):
“What I gained most from our sessions was your ability to challenge the status quo and sacred cows in the way we did and were looking to do business. In doing so, you challenged the inertia which sets in when a business has run out of answers, and perhaps has stopped asking itself the right questions.
Issues were confronted without being confrontational, and that was a productive dynamic. My conclusion was to radically rethink our approach… I think the solution we have found with the benefit of the clarity you have provided fits the business much better”
Managing Partner - Boutique City based Employment firm 2015
“As a result of your guidance and encouragement I have been able to both implement changes that I had been putting off for various reasons and to take some steps that I would not have considered but for your suggestions.
Our business is now in better shape to face the future in what is a very challenging market and I shall be looking to Sally again to help us achieve the step change that we need to make to grow the business and develop better, more accessible legal services.”

Sectors
Professional Services
UK plc is heavily reliant on its services sector and yet productivity remains stubbornly static. Changes in regulation and improving technology, as well as pressure from clients, means that businesses in this sector feel like they have to run just to stand still. For law firms in particular the promised massive change in the profession has been elusive, even as cost cutting and investment in IT have delivered some improvement in profitability. We have a range of services on offer for professional service firms from individual coaching for partners and aspiring associates through strategy planning and business building through to mergers and acquisitions. We also offer retained search and executive selection to help firms acquire the professional and managerial talent that is vital for their development.
Construction and Built Environment
Construction has traditionally been thought of as a sector resistant to change but no more. New technologies, skills shortages and large scale infrastructure projects requiring new ways of working have changed all that. Collaborative working and increased use of BIM, as well as behavioural assessments in public sector tenders have started to affect the way teams and JVs work, so companies are looking for ways to create ever higher performance. Together with our great friends The Bid Coach, we prepare Tier 1 teams for the Behavioural Assessment Centres involved in major infrastructure bids and are proud of our enviable record of success that is fast becoming our clients' secret weapon.
We also provide collaborative working workshops that change the way people behave and an empowering workshop for professional women in engineering and construction.
In the built environment, we work with Housing Associations and housing developers to create new solutions to old problems - new ways of working to provide new homes. We offer individual or team coaching as well as Board days and strategy sessions.

Health and Care
It is becoming increasingly apparent that the system we have cannot cope with the demands of an ageing population. We work with health and other care providers who want to explore new ways of working and who have a desire to make lasting changes that increase capacity and resilience in the provision of services to the people in their area. We provide Board support, training for Boards and strategy sessions as well as culture, leadership and management due diligence in merging organisations.
Sustainability
We can no longer ignore the fact that climate change is happening right now. Our belief is that community resilience is at the heart of the solution and so we invest our own time in supporting these projects. We are also supporting local businesses and third sector organisations through our Sustainable Growth programme - the sister programme to our "Profitable Growth" programme above but designed for businesses in the sustainable sector. We also offer individual or team coaching, strategy sessions as well as Board Days and facilitation at reduced rates. Contact Sally to find out more.
