Founder

Hi - I’m Dan,

There are two ways I can help you unlock potential in your manufacturing, engineering or industrial business.

I have a zero-fluff approach, so let’s go:

(01) Fast Value:
An 8-week targeted value creation sprint to identify and execute high-impact opportunities in your core business.

(02) The Simple Strategy:
A strategy development and execution programme that takes you end-to-end.

We’ll avoid the pitfalls of (non)strategic planning by building a growth strategy around:

1. Optimising the core business
2. Growing through logical extensions and adjacent markets
3. Exploring & innovating future products, services and business models

I focus on bridging the gap between strategy and execution, guiding you through the critical decisions required to align the day-to-day activities with the long-term strategic direction.

Send me a DM to discuss if you want to drive growth and innovation in your business.
