Senior external judgement
Independent Advisory
An experienced independent view for management teams facing important decisions, difficult trade-offs, unfamiliar situations or periods of change.
Working principle
Management does not always need another permanent executive, another software supplier or a large consultancy engagement.
Sometimes management needs an experienced independent person who can examine the situation, challenge assumptions and provide a view that is not constrained by internal politics or by the need to sell a predetermined solution.
The role is not coaching or mentoring. It is practical senior judgement applied to a live business situation.
Where the best answer is to simplify, stop, defer or avoid a proposed action, that conclusion should remain available.
