See Your Organisation with Fresh Eyes
Discover where you truly stand and what opportunities await through comprehensive strategic assessment that brings clarity to complexity.
Return to HomeWhat This Assessment Delivers
Imagine having a clear, comprehensive understanding of your organisation's position—not just the surface-level view you see daily, but a thorough examination that reveals both strengths you can build upon and opportunities you might not have noticed.
This assessment provides that clarity. Through careful analysis of your market position, internal capabilities, competitive landscape, and growth potential, you'll gain perspective that only comes from stepping back and looking at the complete picture.
The outcome is a detailed report that doesn't just describe your situation but prioritises practical recommendations based on their potential impact and feasibility within your operational reality. You'll finish the engagement knowing exactly what your next steps could be and why those steps make sense for your specific circumstances.
When the Path Forward Isn't Clear
Many organisations reach a point where the usual approaches to planning feel insufficient. Perhaps you're considering expansion but aren't confident about which direction to pursue. Maybe you sense your market position has shifted but lack the external perspective to assess it objectively.
Internal discussions can become circular when everyone brings the same frame of reference. Teams work diligently yet progress feels uneven. Strategic planning sessions produce documents that sit on shelves rather than guiding meaningful action.
This isn't a failure of capability or commitment—it's simply the natural limitation of viewing your situation from within it. Just as a building's architect benefits from stepping back to see the entire structure, organisations benefit from comprehensive external assessment that reveals what daily immersion might obscure.
Our Strategic Assessment Approach
Rather than arriving with templates and frameworks to impose, we begin by genuinely understanding your organisation. This assessment draws on established analytical methods whilst remaining flexible to your specific context.
We gather information through interviews with key stakeholders, review of operational documents, and observation of how your organisation actually functions day-to-day. This provides both quantitative data and qualitative insights that numbers alone can't capture.
Information Gathering Phase
We conduct structured interviews with leadership and staff, review strategic documents and operational data, and observe workflow patterns and decision-making processes.
Analysis Phase
We examine market positioning relative to competitors, assess internal capabilities and resource allocation, identify growth opportunities and potential challenges.
Synthesis Phase
We develop prioritised recommendations with clear reasoning, create implementation pathways considering your resources, and prepare presentation of findings.
Delivery Phase
We present comprehensive written report with visual aids, facilitate discussion of findings and recommendations, and provide follow-up consultation to address questions.
What Working Together Looks Like
The assessment typically spans four to six weeks, though we adjust the timeline based on your organisation's size and complexity. Throughout the engagement, you'll remain informed about our progress and any interim findings worth discussing immediately.
Initial Discussion (Week 1)
We establish the scope of assessment, identify key stakeholders to engage, and arrange access to necessary information. This ensures everyone understands what the process involves.
Information Gathering (Weeks 2-3)
We conduct interviews, review documentation, and observe operations. This phase requires some time from your team but we schedule efficiently to minimise disruption.
Analysis and Report Development (Weeks 4-5)
We analyse the gathered information and develop findings. During this period, we may reach out with clarifying questions but largely work independently.
Presentation and Discussion (Week 6)
We present our findings in a detailed session with your leadership team, discuss recommendations thoroughly, and address questions. You receive both the written report and presentation materials.
Investment in Clarity
The strategic assessment is priced at £1,850 for the complete engagement. This represents a one-time investment in understanding your organisation's position and identifying practical pathways forward.
Consider what uncertainty costs—delayed decisions, missed opportunities, resources allocated without clear direction. The assessment provides the foundation for confident strategic choices that align with both your capabilities and market realities.
What's Included:
How This Assessment Creates Value
The effectiveness of strategic assessment lies in its ability to provide perspective you cannot generate internally. When organisations complete this engagement, they typically report several specific outcomes.
Immediate Clarity
Within the first few weeks, you'll begin seeing patterns and connections you hadn't noticed before. The external viewpoint often reveals obvious opportunities that internal familiarity had obscured.
Informed Decisions
The assessment provides the factual basis for strategic choices. Rather than relying on assumptions or incomplete information, you'll have thorough analysis supporting your direction.
Team Alignment
When everyone views the same comprehensive analysis, discussions become more productive. The report serves as a shared reference point that helps resolve internal debates objectively.
Practical Direction
The recommendations are prioritised specifically for your situation. You'll know which initiatives to pursue first based on both potential impact and realistic implementation within your constraints.
Most organisations find the assessment valuable enough to implement at least three of the major recommendations within the following six months, with measurable improvements typically appearing within the first quarter of implementation.
Our Commitment to Your Satisfaction
We understand that engaging consultants represents both financial commitment and organisational trust. Here's what you can expect from us throughout this assessment.
No-Obligation Initial Consultation
Before any formal engagement, we'll discuss your situation to determine if this assessment truly suits your needs. There's no pressure to proceed if we're not the right fit.
Complete Transparency
You'll know exactly what the process involves before we begin. No hidden fees, no scope adjustments without discussion, no unexpected additions to the original agreement.
Ongoing Communication
Throughout the assessment, we maintain regular contact about progress and any significant interim findings. You're never left wondering where things stand or what's happening next.
Moving Forward
If you're considering whether this strategic assessment might help your organisation, the next step is simply a conversation. We can discuss your specific situation, what you hope to gain from external analysis, and whether this engagement aligns with your current needs.
There's no commitment required for this initial discussion—just an opportunity to explore whether working together makes sense for both of us.
