We are the un-consultants. We help clients to succeed and grow with actionable and practical solutions to specific strategic challenges. When we started this business, we found ourselves repeatedly hired by people who told us that they ‘hated consultants’. So we asked why. One of our earliest clients said: “We don’t think of you as consultants, we think of you as un-consultants. You don’t try to sell us stuff we don’t need. You don’t peddle tool-kits and templates. You don’t recycle old work. You figure out what we need and build a process just for us. You tell the truth. Our people are happy to see you because you support them.” Since then, the label has stuck and it is one that we are proud of because it speaks to our values. It speaks to how we conduct ourselves. And it speaks to the work we’ve done over 18 years, work that now spans a wide range of sectors including media, technology, manufacturing, healthcare, packaged and other consumer goods, professional services, financial services, not-for-profit and more. Examples of actual mandates include: “The top-line has been stuck in neutral for 3 years. Can you figure out why and tell us how to fix it?” “How can we grow this business from $120 million to $200 million? Can you build a plan?” “Do a strategic review of our business and recommend our optimal path to growth." “We need a reset. Come and help me to change the culture around here.” “This fund trades at a discount to NAV that is double the rest of its peer group. Why? Can we reduce the discount in half?” “Is there an opportunity for us to penetrate the oil and gas business? How?” “In fighting this class action, we have managed our courtroom strategy well. We have not managed our relationships with our many stakeholders well. We need a strategy.” “Why aren’t our sales in the U.S. growing?”
