YOUR NEED

Do you need help and an injection of novel ideas for a product launch?  

Do you need to plan a project or need to get a project back on track with some effective planning and cost control?

Do you need interim/part-time consultancy services to deliver your project on time or to help your business in a time of short-staffing?

Do you need an extra pair of sensible hands for marketing/comms/project management?

Does your business need an injection of dynamism, new ideas and expertise in a cost-effective way?

Would you like to brainstorm the future direction of your business and have some external professional eyes take a look at how you could improve?

SOLUTION

I deliver tailored consultancy solutions to meet the specific business needs.  My services are highly professional but lower cost than the bigger companies.  My work typically starts with a free consultation, followed by a written proposal which explains my understanding of the requirements and my suggested approach.  I normally produce a proposed work programme to confirm the requirements and identify the most appropriate business solutions, a comment on risks/issues aand how to manage them.  I present and then work to a proposed programme of work and budget/cost, with clearly defined next steps and I confirm the project milestones and the reports, analysis and recommendations that I will deliver to you.

Monthly timesheets and reports are obviously delivered, along with project management tools such as risk analysis, budget control, etc, according to the needs of the business.

My priority is always to help find pragmatic and financially sound marketing, sales, service and commercial solutions which can be effectively implemented, with or without me, and which add value and success to the business
