About Us
A few good people.
It's not a slogan, it's the whole point.
No armies of junior consultants armed with theory but no experience. We're a small group of senior operators who have built, run and scaled technology businesses and managed tech products. We still do the work ourselves.
We're a team of former senior business and product leaders with experience built over decades of working in technology and media companies. After taking these businesses to success we decided build a different kind of consultancy to share what we've learned.
​
Our goal is to help you grow profitably through operational and commercial excellence. ​We share our experience and apply it to your business in a way that suits your goals. You get to tap into our knowledge and and frameworks for delivering better business outcomes. We share with you how other businesses have resolved similar challenges and help you implement solutions to overcome the obstacles to growth.
​​​
We developed the Value Lab methodology to specifically tackle difficult business problems and propose pragmatic solutions. We're not theorists, we're here to deliver the changes that you need. We help you set out achievable goals and help you operate more effectively to hit them.
​
Who are we?
What you'll get
Small and senior is the feature.
Big firms sell a senior partner and staff the work with juniors. We don't. The people you meet are the people who do the work.
It's why we take on fewer clients and why the ones we take on get our best thinking, not our leftover capacity.
Operators, not theorists
We've sat in the chairs our clients sit in as CEOs, COOs, product managers and strategy directors. We advise from having done the job
Focus above all
The hardest, most valuable thing a technology business can do is focus. We help you do it, and we'll hold you to it.
We say the hard thing
You're paying for honesty, not comfort. If we see something that isn't working, you'll hear it from us up front.
