We are a consulting services company providing project management and related services for businesses to help them grow, improve and change the way they work.
WE DO PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Helping you deliver changes to the way your business works.
We understand that managing change is at the heart of delivering great project results. Processes, procedures and systems are only as good as the way they are used and incorporated into day-to-day operations. We're here to help deliver these changes and provide structure around changing the way your team works.
WE DO BUSINESS PLANNING
Helping you to translate your business idea into words.
You need someone to help you describe and present your business idea, growth or expansion plans. We help by listening, and gently challenging, the details of your business or organisation and presenting it in a format that works for your audience.
A toolbox of guides for organisations and businesses who want to write their own but could do with a little support.
Our first priority is a guide to writing a Business Plan in a post-Covid economy, what to think about and how to measure success. Think short term agility and long term resilience.
We've also got Feasibility Studies covered (a decision making tool to work out if your idea is a good one) and a guide to writing business reports, getting the tone right and structure that works for your audience.
