Strategy + Leadership = Success
The most successful organisations have a clear view of where they want to be in the future and how they’re going to get there. Whether you’re in the UK or overseas, we can help your organisation develop the winning strategy, the innovative training solutions and the high-level leadership skills to achieve its most ambitious vision for the future.
‘Empowering your organisation to achieve its most ambitious vision for the future’
A proven approach to developing effective strategy
All organisations (whether businesses, charities, schools or government departments) need a strategy in place that explains how they are going to achieve their most ambitious vision for the future by exploiting the opportunities and overcoming the obstacles that our complex and ever-changing environment creates. However, thinking strategically and then developing and implementing strategies that work is not that easy; if it were, all organisations would have an effective strategy in place and few of them would ever fail.
This is where we can help. Applying the proven approach described in our bestselling ‘The Quick Guide to Effective Strategy’, we can help you develop a winning strategy, review your existing strategy and/or run a bespoke programme to upskill your own strategy making and leadership teams (such as our award-winning Strategy Masterclass – see below). You can read the first two chapters of the book or see it on Amazon by clicking the buttons below.

More than just strategy consultants!
Craig Lawrence CBE, our senior strategy consultant, left the British Army in 2016 as a Major General to lead the teaching of strategy and strategic leadership at the UK Government’s ‘strategy college’ in London. Whilst there, he transformed the college’s year-long flagship postgraduate course, turning it into a ‘must do’ career enhancer for senior executives destined to reach the very highest levels of their international organisations. He also wrote ‘Getting Strategy Right (Enough)’, a UK Government guide to strategy making and strategic leadership.
A Fellow of both the Institute of Consulting and the Chartered Management Institute, Craig left the college in 2020 to set up his own consultancy. Since then, he has worked with a wide range of organisations across many sectors, helping them to develop the strategies, high-level leadership skills and award winning training solutions that have enabled them to excel in today’s complex, high-risk and ever-changing environment. You can see some of the organisations Craig has worked with at the bottom of this page.

Our Services
Our strategy consultants offer a complete and fully scalable strategy development service, ranging from an interactive presentation to help you think about how to approach your own strategy-making (which makes an excellent start to a management board ‘Away Day’), through to reviewing your current strategy, working with you to develop a completed strategy or delivering an award winning course to upskill your own strategy making capability.
We believe that high level leadership requires a different skill set to that at the lower levels. We therefore offer a series of presentations and workshops to help you explore these differences. We also design and deliver leadership development programmes and provide executive mentoring.
One of our training and education courses recently won a national award for excellence in design and delivery. We apply the same expertise to helping our clients develop innovative solutions to their most complex training and education problems.
The other services we offer include emergency response planning (ERP), executive mentoring, chairing panel discussions, conference and seminar facilitation, wargame and premortem facilitation, peer review of academic articles and expert advice to media projects.
