Engagement Models
While every organisation is different, most engagements fall into one of four categories.
Not Sure Which Engagement Is Right?
You don't need to decide before we speak.
If you're not sure which engagement is right, start by telling us about the challenge you're facing and what you're hoping to achieve.
We'll discuss your objectives and recommend the most appropriate way to work together.
Investigate & Recommend
Sometimes the hardest part of solving a problem is understanding what is really causing it.
This engagement is designed for organisations that need an independent investigation into a business challenge before deciding what to do next. Working with stakeholders across the organisation, we establish the current situation, identify root causes and develop practical recommendations.
Leadership knows something is wrong.
There isn't agreement on the cause.
Independent investigation is required.
When is this appropriate?
Discovery meetings
Stakeholder interviews
Business investigation
Root cause analysis
Findings & Recommendations report
Executive presentation
Prioritised roadmap (where appropriate)
Typical activities & deliverables
Once recommendations have been agreed, organisations often need additional support to turn plans into reality.
Whether acting as an additional resource alongside your existing teams or providing guidance to leadership throughout delivery, the focus is on helping the organisation successfully implement change, ensure adoption and achieve the desired outcomes.

Executive Leadership Support
There are occasions when organisations require experienced leadership for a defined period, either to fill a temporary gap or provide independent oversight.
When is this appropriate?
Temporary executive leadership — When you need experienced leadership without making a permanent hire.
Business transformation — When you need specialised leadership through periods of transformation or change.
Leadership transition — When you need continuity and support while leadership responsibilities are changing.
Growth — When growth is creating new leadership, organisational or capability challenges.
Developing leadership capability — When you want your leaders to develop the leadership and soft skills required to become force multipliers for your organisation.
Fractional Leadership
Providing experienced executive leadership to establish, stabilise or transform a business function while permanent capability is developed or recruited.
Non-Executive Director (NED)
Providing independent strategic oversight, governance and constructive challenge to executive leadership, helping organisations make better-informed decisions while maintaining accountability.
Leadership & Soft Skills Training
Developing practical leadership capability by combining the skills leaders need with the soft skills that help them apply them effectively.
Training can be tailored to different levels of leadership and aligned to your organisation's needs, expectations and leadership standards, helping leaders build the knowledge, judgement and confidence to apply what they learn in their day-to-day roles.
