What we do
Meet the team
Growth and Innovation
We are a Growth and Innovation Consultancy. We help grow our clients’ businesses in better ways which are more significant, more sustainable and ultimately more profitable.
Sustainable, value-enhancing long term growth is very difficult for most organisations to achieve. The reasons are complex, with managers looking in the wrong direction and seeing things from their inside-out, silo’s perspective.
We help them stand where customers stand and see their organisation more joined-up, their competition more vividly and their market more susceptible to alternative choices.
Strategic innovation
By seeing things differently our clients create bold new ideas and significantly better propositions that transform the way their business works.
Practical implementation
By staying down to earth whilst still ambitious, we help you put bold ideas into practice, protecting the crucial insights and adjusting to ensure a better real world result.
1. Insight
Outside in: Research and immersion to define the issues more accurately and in-depth. Involves you personally and the team in seeing things from different perspectives.
2. Creation
What’s possible? What’s plausible?: Creatively exploring issues and potential solutions as a team, then modelling choices and working out how to deliver bold ideas and strategies.
3. Delivery
Depth & Detail and “Torch Holding”: Rigorous, disciplined management of change to get things done whilst remembering where the vision, value and innovation is for the customer and the organisation.
Our Events
- Ownership – the only thing that matters for long term growth?Wednesday 29th February 2012
What effect does an organisation's ownership have on its approach to growth and its long term success in achieving it? We are interested in not just who has ownership, but how they own as well.
There is currently a lively debate around this issue and we’ve assembled three speakers with interesting and useful perspectives. Luke Mayhew, former MD of one of the country’s favourite employee owned retailers (now a non exec at a range of businesses owned in other ways). Michael Green, who's written a book all about long term growth and ownership and how stock-markets could be changed to promote not prevent (The Road from Ruin). And our favourite grouchy city journalist who has many points of view, all strongly held, Anthony Hilton (a member of our Advisory Board).

Time for Action
