FAQs
Questions before your first call.
If your question isn’t here, email us or book a call.
What happens on the strategy call?
We talk through the decision in front of you, who else it affects and what a good outcome looks like. You leave with a suggested next step, whether or not you work with us.
Do you only work with large companies?
No. Most of the businesses we work with are growing SMEs without an in-house strategy team.
How are your prices set?
Each package has a fixed price, agreed before work starts, so there are no surprise day-rate bills. Prices are shown excluding VAT.
Is “game theory” very mathematical?
The thinking is rigorous, but what you get is plain English: the move we recommend, why it wins, and what to do when others respond.
Which sectors do you work in?
Creative, marketing, social media, logistics, construction, property, investments, hospitality, automotive, bioscience and agriculture.
How quickly can you start?
Usually within two weeks of the first call. A Strategy Sprint can often be completed within a week.
Will you help us put the plan into action?
Yes. Our plans include a 90-day action plan, and the advisory retainer gives you ongoing support as the market responds.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. We work with businesses across the UK by video call, and meet in person where it helps.
What do you need from us?
Time with the people who will make the decision, any figures or research you already have, and an honest view of the problem.
What if the research shows our plan won’t work?
We’ll tell you, and explain why. Finding that out before you commit is one of the most valuable things a strategy can do.
