Services Designed for Clarity and Progress
We offer three core services, each addressing specific needs that organisations commonly face. Choose what's most relevant to your current situation and how we might help you move forward.
Return HomeWhat We Offer
Our services reflect common situations where external perspective and structured thinking prove helpful. Rather than offering extensive service catalogues, we focus on three areas where we believe we can add genuine value.
Each service can stand alone or combine with others depending on your needs. We adapt scope and approach to your circumstances rather than enforcing predetermined packages. What matters is addressing your actual situation effectively.
Our Three Core Services
Business Health Assessment
A comprehensive review of your organisation's current position, examining financial health, operational efficiency, market standing, and team dynamics. This service provides an objective perspective that can be difficult to maintain when working within a business daily.
We gather information through document review, staff conversations, and analysis of key metrics, presenting findings in a format that highlights both strengths to build upon and areas that may benefit from attention. The assessment serves as a foundation for informed decision-making.
From £550 to £1,100
Investment varies based on organisation size and scope
Growth Planning Workshop
A facilitated process that helps leadership teams think through expansion opportunities in a structured, realistic manner. Rather than encouraging rapid scaling that may strain resources, we guide conversations about sustainable growth that aligns with your organisation's values and capabilities.
Workshops examine market opportunities, resource requirements, and potential challenges, resulting in a documented plan that can inform ongoing decisions. The format can be intensive single-day sessions or spread across several shorter meetings.
From £700 to £1,300
Pricing depends on workshop duration and complexity
Change Navigation Support
Guidance for organisations undertaking significant transitions, whether structural changes, technology implementations, or cultural shifts. We recognise that change often meets resistance and that successful transitions require attention to both practical and human factors.
Our support includes planning assistance, communication strategy development, and ongoing advisory as changes unfold. We help leaders anticipate challenges, prepare their teams, and adjust approaches when circumstances require.
From £650 to £1,400
Investment varies based on transition scope and duration
Choosing What's Right for You
Different situations call for different types of support. Understanding which service addresses your current needs helps ensure you invest appropriately.
Consider Business Health Assessment When:
You need clarity about your current position before making major decisions. Perhaps you're considering significant changes but want objective assessment first. Maybe stakeholders need independent evaluation of organisational health. Or you simply want to identify areas deserving attention that daily operations may be obscuring.
This service works well for organisations at transition points, planning succession, or seeking to understand strengths and vulnerabilities more clearly.
Consider Growth Planning Workshop When:
Your leadership team needs structured time to think through expansion possibilities. You're experiencing growth opportunities but uncertain which to pursue or how to prioritise them. Perhaps you want to ensure growth plans align with organisational capacity and values.
This service suits organisations at inflection points where thoughtful planning can shape sustainable expansion rather than reactive scaling.
Consider Change Navigation Support When:
You're implementing significant changes and want guidance throughout the process. Perhaps you've attempted changes that didn't stick and need different approaches. Maybe you recognise that change management requires attention you cannot provide internally whilst maintaining operations.
This service helps organisations undertaking transitions that affect multiple areas, require cultural shifts, or involve complex stakeholder dynamics.
Still Uncertain?
If you're unsure which service suits your situation, an initial conversation can help clarify needs. We're happy to discuss your circumstances without obligation and suggest appropriate approaches, even if that means recommending resources other than our services.
Sometimes combinations of services work well. For instance, organisations might start with a Business Health Assessment to establish baseline understanding, then move to Growth Planning once current position is clear.
How We Work Together
Whilst specific activities vary by service, our general process follows consistent principles designed to deliver value efficiently whilst respecting your time and resources.
Initial Discussion
We begin with straightforward conversation about your situation, what prompted consideration of external support, and what you're hoping to achieve. This helps determine whether our services might be helpful and which approach would be most relevant. No commitment required at this stage.
Clear Proposal
Once we understand your needs, we propose specific scope of work with defined deliverables, timeframes, and investment. Everything is documented in plain language explaining what we'll do, what you can expect, and what involvement will be needed from your team.
Collaborative Engagement
We conduct agreed work with regular communication about progress and any findings that emerge. Our approach involves your team where their input adds value, whilst maintaining the external perspective that makes our involvement useful. Questions receive prompt responses throughout.
Useful Deliverables
We provide findings, recommendations, or plans in accessible formats that you can actually use. We're available to discuss implications and support implementation, but ultimately you retain control of decisions and next steps. All materials become yours to use as needed.
Understanding Investment
We believe in transparent pricing that reflects actual work required rather than arbitrary rate structures. Investment should be clear from the start so you can make informed decisions.
Our Pricing Approach
We provide fixed fees for defined scopes of work. No hidden costs, no unexpected additions, no ongoing commitments beyond what we agree at the start. You know exactly what you're investing before work begins.
Price ranges reflect variations in organisation size, scope complexity, and time requirements. During initial discussions, we clarify where your situation falls within stated ranges and why.
Our pricing makes quality strategic support accessible to growing organisations whilst remaining sustainable for our practice. We're not the least expensive option, but we're considerably more accessible than large consulting firms offering similar value.
What you're investing in extends beyond immediate deliverables to include the capability development that happens through our collaborative approach. This ongoing benefit continues serving you well after our engagement concludes.
What Sets Our Services Apart
Practical Focus
Our services deliver actionable insights and recommendations rather than theoretical frameworks. Everything we provide is designed to be used, not filed away.
Personal Attention
You work directly with experienced practitioners, not junior staff supervised from afar. The person you meet initially remains your main contact throughout.
Regional Knowledge
Our Newcastle base means understanding regional context, networks, and dynamics that inform better recommendations for local organisations.
Efficient Timeframes
We complete work in weeks, not months. Focused engagements deliver value without the extended commitments typical of traditional consulting.
Plain Communication
We use straightforward language in all deliverables. No consultant jargon that obscures meaning or requires translation for your team.
Capability Building
Our collaborative approach strengthens your team's strategic thinking alongside delivering immediate results. Benefits continue after we finish.
Taking Next Steps
Beginning a conversation about your needs involves no obligation and helps both parties determine whether working together makes sense.
What Happens When You Contact Us
We'll schedule a conversation at your convenience, typically lasting 30-45 minutes. This gives us time to understand your situation without requiring extensive commitment from you.
During this discussion, we'll ask about your current circumstances, what prompted consideration of external support, and what outcomes you're hoping for. We'll explain how our services might address your needs and be honest about situations where we may not be the right resource.
If working together seems appropriate, we'll propose specific next steps with clear scope and investment. If not, we'll say so and can suggest alternative resources that might serve you better.
Either way, you'll leave the conversation with clearer understanding of your situation and options available. No pressure, no obligation, just straightforward exploration of whether our services align with your needs.
