Having been in business at the sharp end of the design world, advised creative institutions and
helped many types of creative enterprise to prosper, one thing is abundantly clear - creativity and commerciality rarely make natural bedfellows. Consequently, maintaining quality, growing clients and reputation, driving profitability, and getting the best out of people can be a daunting challenge.

areas such as:-
- Goals, strategy and stakeholder buy-in
- Structure, systems and processes - ensuring they are right for the business and for growth
- Getting the best out of people, teams and relationships - internal and client
- New business - building an approach that creates revenue and opportunities to develop
-
- Innovation and service development
- New business strategy
- Departmental purpose / silos
- Coaching / mentoring of individuals and teams
- Team building and performance
