Independent management consultancy
The plan is only half the job.
Founded 1987 in London by Margaret Tallis and Daniel Rowe.
Most strategies are right on paper and stall in practice. We design the choice and the way it will be run at the same time, with the people who will run it.
Six ways into the problem.
Eight sectors, one way of working.

Where would we start with you?
Advice is cheap. Results are what you pay for.
I
Measured in your numbers
We agree the measures on day one and report against them every month — your P&L, not our hours.
II
Fees that share the risk
On most cost, pricing and transformation work, part of our fee depends on the result we agreed at the start.
III
Built to outlast us
Your people run the new way before we leave. We check back at six and twelve months, at our cost.
We start on the floor, not in the deck.
02
Frame the choice
We narrow the options to the few that matter, price each one, and put a clear recommendation to the executive team.
03
Run it together
A joint team sets targets, owners and a weekly rhythm. We fix what breaks and count only what reaches the accounts.
04
Hand it back
Dashboards, routines and skills move to your team. We return at six and twelve months to check the numbers held.
