A phenomenally effective formula
Strategy + Investment + Risk + Disruption + People = Growth
Pathfinder: Absolute confidence in your destination
Pathfinder identifies the best possible strategic end destination for an organisation. Our approach brings fresh perspective on what is possible, whilst also testing whether the objective in question will deliver long term commercial advantage. This clarity gives clients the confidence to stand up, look out and make decisions that ensure a thriving business over the longer term, and to build support with their stakeholders. From this place – the destination – we work backwards to identify how best to get there.
Investment Factory: Driving growth
The Investment Factory helps organisations to drive the actions needed to reach their strategic destination, whether through organic growth, greenfield investment, M&A, partnerships, refinancing or raising debt. By assessing all options at the outset, we dramatically improve organisational focus and substantially reduce time and money wasted on opportunities that do not align with your destination. By combining strategic, commercial, operational, financial and transactional perspectives, we ensure that investments are successful.
Uncertainty Lab: Measuring and reducing risk
We work in facts and use all the available data to make decisions. We use analytics to gain insight that allows for better decision-making, not just at a business unit level, but importantly in the boardroom. This mindset and capability – Big data for the boardroom – unlocks value for clients at the Pathfinder and Investment Factory stages. We mobilise our own incubated software to improve efficiency and productivity.
Innovation Catalyst: Profit from disruption
We see innovation and disruption as business as usual. Companies who fail to innovate die. We work with incumbents to set them on the path to embracing innovation and with leading edge companies to take them from frontier thinker to fully commercialised, impactful business. The Innovation Center is home to our own incubated start-up, Atomli.
Talent Hub: Helping people grow
Clients work with us here because they understand that execution of the design is critical, and that execution is led from the top. Meanwhile uncertainty and change are increasing complexity and stress for senior leaders. The Talent Hub provides confidential coaching to senior managers, executives and board directors in order to ensure that strategy, execution, people and culture are always aligned.
