We specialise in:

Strategic Planning and Organisational Structuring

We understand your overall vision, direction and strategy affects every aspect of your organisational structure. Working with your key stakeholders, we take a fresh look at your strategy, configuration, and people to identify constraints (such as capacity, capability, mindset, culture) that may be hindering your success. Our solutions are developed to support your company’s redesign and restructure while reinforcing its overall strategy and ability to thrive. 

Value Creation / Business Plan Development

We appreciate that a well-structured value creation plan, or business plan, provides you with a clear blueprint of the strategic and operational direction of your organisation. By establishing the clear financial and non-financial goals, you can execute the initiatives, establish the platforms and secure the resources needed to deliver on these goals. Identifying the measures, milestones and critical success factors that track progress ensures your short-term steps align with your long-term objectives.  

Executive Board Member: Interim/Contract

We position ourselves as an indispensable resource for your organisation in its search to adapt and change in today’s ever disrupted environment. The composition of your executive board is crucial to your success, and any gaps in capability, capacity and culture can undermine performance. Our flexible CEO, CFO or COO level services are designed to deliver a cost-effective short term or part-time executive solution and provide parity in your competency gap. Whether you require an interim resource to turnaround your business, undergo a transformation or another significant change project, we can give you the valuable expertise and agility you need.

"Paul Young was CFO at Classic Fine Foods during the four years I was Chairman. Paul did an excellent job in the typical CFO Functions, but he definitely had a broader view of business issues, and he was of great support to the CEO in the decision making process. Loyal, hard-working and never afraid to give his view however controversial his view was….If I had to run a business, I would certainly pick up Paul for that job"
