STRATEGY IN A DAY
For early stage and growing companies who are looking for clarity and focus to help them make the right decisions, we will work through what strategy means, prepare a strategy for your company ready to be tested in the real world, and measure what's needed to know whether it is working.
BID TO WIN
As service companies grow, and win big contracts, they inevitably hit competitive tender processes. If you're new to this, or are struggling to make an impact, this workshop gets you up to speed, and introduces you to a methodology that ensures before you put pen to paper and start writing your bid, you have a clear view on what your customer wants and how you’re going to deliver.
LEARN FROM THE PIONEERS
Stories, provocations and inspiration from entrepreneurs, businesses and movements challenging the status quo. Can these pioneers inspire you to do things differently within your organisation?

Some of our clients
“Matt joined our enterprise-wide transformation project when we were at a crossroads. He quickly got under the skin of the challenges we faced, and was instrumental in forming a plan for action. By bringing new ideas and energy to the team he helped put us back on the road to sustainable growth and service improvement.”
“Matt worked with us to deliver a first business plan and financial model for our start-up social enterprise, and the result was crucial in us securing some early financing to start to scale up. Matt brought enthusiasm and positivity in addition to his impressive knowledge, experience and skills and he really ‘gets’ our innovative approach. We look forward to continuing to work with Matt as we go to the next level.”
“Having Matt coach our business has been amazing. His expertise, advice and support has empowered the company to develop and grow beyond what we thought we would ever be able to achieve. His understanding of both business and social impact goes hand in hand and we can’t thank him enough for his belief and contributions to this exciting phase of our company”
