For founder-led SMEs (£5–20m). The promise: your business, not your job.
Defined roles. Documented process. No single point of failure.
Repeatable systems. Fewer errors. Faster onboarding.
Handles complexity as you scale. No bottlenecks.
Business runs without you. Time back, value up.
A three-month diagnostic, then a 12-month blueprint — embedded in your business, not handed over in a deck.
Understand the current state across People, Process & Tech — and score the pillars in a workshop with your leadership team in the room.
Establish the real performance baseline against purpose and strategy — and put the systems in place to act on it.
Sequence the building blocks across People, Process and Tech, so everyone sees how their work ladders up to the business.
Train the team, test that the new way of working holds under real conditions, then roll it out fully.
Re-score the pillars and hand over a one-page, 12-month plan you own — if, and only if, both sides want to continue.
Measure → Review → One change → Repeat. A small loop, run relentlessly — not a big transformation programme.
Fixed fee
Three months. Priced to stand on its own.
Ends at a mutual-fit checkpoint. Both sides choose to continue.
Monthly
12-month blueprint retainer. Two targeted improvements at a time.
