During the current pandemic, we are offering our consultancy services remotely via Zoom and Microsoft Teams. These platforms enable us to speak with you, share documents and solve business challenges in almost the same way as we could face-to-face.

If you would like to book a free 30 minute consultation to discuss your situation or simply want more information about the services we can offer while we are all finding meetings and travel restricted, please contact us.

Our approach

Consultancy approach

We view each consultancy engagement as unique.

Our starting point is to understand that every client is different and respect the knowledge and experience you have.

Therefore, we have no ‘ready-made’ solutions. We invest the time to question, listen and understand before recommending an evidence-based approach. This ensures that we deliver solutions that work for you, and provide the best value possible. It is the foundation of our consultancy practice, so we:

Won’t assume we know the answer before we have discussed the problem.
Never propose to deliver solutions that you are capable of delivering yourself.
Use a systematic and rational approach to analysing your requirements and finding the areas where we can add the most value for you.

Our practice

Our domain is Management Science, which is closely related to Operations Research. These terms are not very helpful for understanding clearly what we do, so some aspects of management science and operations research might be more recognisable. Our expertise and experience include business analysis, strategic management, business process management, performance management and measurement. These areas themselves draw on methods and tools including six sigma, lean management, organisation design, process mapping and many others.
