SOLUTIONS FOR GROWTH

Do you have a vision for the business but not sure how to get there? Are you seeking an independent sounding board for your many ideas to grow the business? Perhaps you’ve recognised the need for major change but are not sure where to start? Maybe you want to raise capital to expand and need credibility with a private equity firm? Or maximise the company value in preparation for sale?

CONSULTING AND NON-EXECUTIVE SOLUTIONS 

  • STRATEGY AND GROWTH

    The day-to-day pressures of running a business can take your focus away from the longer-term strategic planning so crucial for growth.  As an outsider looking in I am ideally positioned to help you develop the strategy to deliver your growth potential.

  • INDEPENDENT SOUNDING BOARD

    It’s often difficult for businesses to move forward on certain issues.  Engaging me as a non-executive - an independent sounding board - I can advise you and help facilitate discussion with the senior management in a professional manner, enabling more informed and better decision-making.  

  • PROFESSIONALISING PROCESSES

    As a non-executive I can draw upon my experience to add significant value as your business matures through its growth stages, helping the organisation to break through any perceived glass ceilings and instil an appropriate level of oversight and governance.  

  • CULTURAL TRANSFORMATION

    “Culture eats strategy for breakfast” Peter Drucker famously said.  Appointing me as a non-executive can help you as leaders transform the organisational culture by shaping the company values, tackling inconsistent behaviours and placing people firmly at the centre for success.

  • RESTRUCTURING

    Your bold growth plan will likely fail if the organisational structure is not aligned with it.  As an independent consultant or non-executive director I can help you restructure the organisation to give the plan the greatest chance of success, as well as placing the right motivated and talented people in the right roles.

  • RESOLVING DIFFICULT ISSUES

    Whatever your issue, whether it is a loss-making product, poor customer satisfaction, a seemingly endless stream of operational problems or something else, as a non-executive I am there to offer you experienced and objective advice, setting out options and advising on the most suitable course of action.

  • RAISING CAPITAL

    Investors will look more favourably upon your business if you have shown the foresight to engage a non-executive director because it shows credibility in seeking out experienced advice.  Indeed, private equity firms will often require a non-executive director to be appointed to help protect and enhance their investment. 

  • EXIT STRATEGY

    Engaging a non-executive who has been through acquisition processes will help your business better prepare for the sale and maximise its value.  There is strong evidence to suggest that businesses with a non-executive in place are more likely to achieve a higher premium.
