Helping you solve your Business Challenges
1.
Owners: Know something is not right with your business,
but you don't know who to ask for help? The structure doesn't reflect where
your business is at now, things feel cobbled together and your procurement,
contracting, compliance, risk management and governance need work. And it's all
causing inefficiencies, compliance issues, loss of revenue and loss of sleep!
You have 20 different problems in a giant ball that needs untangling. Let's
chat, this is what we do!
2.
Board
Members: Need help communicating
strategic direction to your CEO and implementing changes? Or do you need a
strategic adviser (who has also been a Board Member and is experienced in
Governance) to help you work out the best future path for the organisation,
then help communicate this to the CEO and get buy-in?
3.
CEOs and
Managing Directors: Need a Chief Legal Officer or
General Counsel but don't have the budget to hire one full-time? Need help
solving specific problems and implementing solutions? Or need a strategic
analysis of your organisation to work out the cause of your problem(s), then
help fix them?
4.
General
Counsel: Having problems within your
Legal Division or with internal relationships in your organisation? Fixing
these is a speciality. Need extra senior resources on a flexible plug-and-play
basis? Need a Senior Strategic Adviser to carry out a discrete legal or compliance
project for your Division or the organisation as a whole?
5.
Chief
Financial Officers/Finance Managers/CFOs: Having trouble keeping on top of your financial tasks? Not quite there
with cashflow forecasting? Need help training and upskilling your team? Need an
external CFO to provide strategic guidance to the Finance Team?
6.
Senior
Managers: Need help restructuring your
Division, putting in place policies and procedures, implementing compliance,
streamlining processes, or help putting in place tighter workflows with other
Divisions (then documenting those workflows in diagram form)?
We can help with all those plus more!
