The engagement

The Strategy and Delivery Review

Six weeks. One question: what should this organisation actually be doing, and what is getting in the way?

Book a call

What it answers

The questions a board keeps circling.

Which of the things we are doing actually matter
What we should stop, and what stopping it frees up
Why the strategy we agreed has not moved
Whether the board is seeing an accurate picture
Where ownership and capacity are quietly breaking down
What the first ninety days should look like

How it runs

Six weeks, three stages.

Weeks 1 and 2

Listen and read

Interviews with your chair, chief executive, finance lead and the people running the work. A targeted review of board papers, financials and current plans.

Weeks 3 and 4

Map and test

Everything in flight set against the stated priorities, then tested for ownership, capacity and whether the reporting reflects what is really happening.

Weeks 5 and 6

Decide and plan

Findings set out as Stop, Simplify and Stabilise, a ninety day plan with named owners, and a working session with your board or leadership team.

What you get

A clear read, and a plan someone can run.

An honest assessment of what to stop, simplify and stabilise
A ninety day plan with named owners and realistic dates
A working session with your board or executive team to land the findings and agree what happens next
A short written report your board can actually use, not a deck

I do not promise what the findings will be before the work is done. What I promise is that you will get them straight.

Some organisations take the plan and run it themselves, which is the point. Most ask me to stay close while it is implemented, usually as a standing advisory arrangement with the board or executive team, agreed separately once the review is complete. The review is built to stand on its own, so you are never buying the next thing in order to get value from this one.

If the timing is wrong

There is a shorter version.

If the full review is more than you need right now, the Shorter Review covers the same ground in a tighter frame. Fewer interviews, a narrower document review, and the same Stop, Simplify and Stabilise findings in shorter form with one working session.

It answers less. It does not answer it less honestly. Fees for both are set out in a proposal after we have spoken, once I know what the organisation actually needs.

Is this the right moment?

Book a short call and we will work out whether it is. If it is not, I will tell you that too.
