my Approach
Define the future you want.
Become the company to prove it true.
In volatile markets, many businesses fall into the trap of planning - listing initiatives, setting budgets, and hoping momentum will follow. But hope is not a strategy. Real strategy is about making deliberate, sometimes difficult choices that create a credible path forward.
I work with ambitious leaders to simplify complexity and define the identity (the DNA) required to achieve the future they choose to build.
Typically my work:
Begins by understanding the real problem, not the brief.
Is a tailored method to the challenge, not the other way around.
Involves working closely with leadership to define the identity the business needs in order to progress.
Combines strategic thinking with creative exploration to unlock innovation and clarity.
Every engagement is a partnership, not a handover.
The Principles of the Work
Whether we are engaged in a rapid sprint, a focused programme, or ongoing advisory, my approach is governed by three fundamental principles.
01 The Logic of Choice
Strategy is as much about deciding what not to do as it is about deciding what to do.
I help leadership teams make integrated choices: where to play, how to win, and what must be true for success. The outcome is not a long to-do list, but a clear strategic logic that guides decisions, trade-offs, and priorities with confidence.
02 Identity as DNA
A brand is not a visual wrapper. It is the “who” at the centre of every choice you make.
I focus on defining the organisation’s underlying identity—the beliefs, behaviours, and direction that shape how it shows up and competes. When strategy and identity are aligned, the brand becomes a durable advantage that is difficult to replicate and easy to recognise.
03 Bridging the Gap
Defining the future is one thing. Becoming the organisation that proves it true is another.
I help bridge the gap between current reality and future ambition, ensuring strategic choices are reflected in culture, communication, and customer experience. This is how clarity moves from intention into action.
Contextual Intervention
I don’t force a one-size-fits-all process, because no two strategic challenges are the same. The intervention adapts to the scale and nature of the problem.
Strategic Sprints
Rapid, high-intensity clarity on a specific choice or constraint.Brand Programmes
Deeper work to define identity, positioning, and direction.High-Level Advisory
Ongoing support for leaders navigating complex, high-stakes change.
The outcome is always the same: clarity that enables confident movement forward.
Strategy = Choice
It is not a plan, a calendar, or a complex document. Strategy is a coordinated set of choices to achieve a defined objective.
Brand = Perception
It is a reputation that lives in the hearts and minds of other people.
Identity = Influence
If a brand is perception, it is identity that shapes and influences that perception. It is the active alignment of who you are, where you are going, and how you show up.
Strategy is a coordinated set of choices to achieve a defined objective - it is not a plan.

Identity as the driver, not the outcome
Identity shapes the organisation.
The organisation shapes the experience.
The experience shapes perception.
Perception is brand.
What you can expect when we work together
Clear thinking. Direct collaboration. No fluff.
You get a partner who:
asks the questions others avoid
works directly with your leadership team
creates space for aligned, confident decisions
simplifies complexity so you can move forward
adapts the process to your specific challenge
blends analysis with creative exploration
focuses on progress, not presentations
When leaders gain clarity on who their business needs to become, everything strengthens — decisions, alignment, confidence, and the experience customers feel. You move with purpose instead of drift. You shape how you’re understood rather than leaving it to chance.
