Strategic business consulting

We help management turn business decisions into priorities, processes and implementation plans. We begin with an assessment of the company and define a scope of work with deliverables, responsibilities and measures of progress.

Business consulting

Areas of work.

Each project begins with an assessment. The deliverables below are options for the project. We agree the scope with management based on the information, priorities and resources available.

Business strategy and governance

We start by identifying the decisions the company needs to make, the information required and who is accountable. The work may include assessing the business model, growth priorities and governance processes.

  • Board or committee agendas focused on business decisions

From assessment to follow-through.

A plan should clarify what needs to happen, who is responsible and how progress will be reviewed.

  1. Understand the business

    Define the challenge, review available information and identify constraints.

  2. Agree on priorities

    Set out deliverables, responsibilities and measures of progress in an action plan.

  3. Support implementation

    Review progress and outstanding decisions with management where implementation is included in the scope.

Corporate, contractual and regulatory documentation is handled by our legal practice. Systems and dashboards are scoped with Marín Ortega Tech. Valuations, financial audits and investment services require a specific professional scope.
