What we help you decide

Four situations keep coming up for SME leaders. If one of them is holding you back, a diagnosis is often enough to get the team moving again.

  • Growth

    Which market, which offer, which pace: choosing where to put this year’s commercial effort.

  • Organization

    Who decides what, when the team has grown faster than its roles, meetings, and tools.

  • Pricing and margins

    Reviewing a price list, dropping an unprofitable offer, understanding where the margin is made.

  • Priorities

    Too many open projects: sorting, sequencing, and saying no with criteria the whole team understands.

Start with a diagnosis

In about five days: interviews with the people who decide and those who execute, a review of the available figures, then a two-page brief naming the real constraint and the next decision to make.

Three formats

Each engagement is priced after a scoping call, before any commitment. Timings are indicative.

Weekly check-in with the team Ongoing decisions Review of first outcomes

Good strategy does not exist to fill a document. It connects every decision to the next observable outcome.

The through line

How an engagement runs

The same course whatever the format: at every stage you know who is involved and what you receive.

1

Scoping call

One hour to state the decision, its constraints, and the right format.

2

Interviews and figures

Key people are heard and the available data reviewed.

3

Decision workshop

Options are compared against explicit criteria; one priority is chosen.

4

Follow-up

A regular check-in until the first observable outcome.

Field notes

What we learn on engagements, summed up in a few lines. The full notes go out with the monthly letter.

Priorities

Sorting projects without upsetting anyone

A board in columns, three criteria written in advance, and one simple rule: nothing comes in unless something goes out.

Growth

Opening a market: three questions first

Who buys, who decides, who pays: if one answer is missing, the sales plan can wait.

Pricing

Reviewing prices without losing clients

Start with the least profitable offers, give early notice, and explain what changes for the client.
