The work that keeps working.
Most strategies do not fail because they were badly designed. They fail because nobody stays close enough to catch the moment momentum starts to slip. The Retained Advisor relationship is built for that gap.
By the time a major strategy or improvement engagement wraps up, most leadership teams are stretched and ready to just get on with it themselves. That is completely understandable. But without someone on the outside tracking how it is actually landing, small things quietly compound. Decisions get reinterpreted. Priorities drift. The hard conversations that need to keep happening, do not.
Six months later, the strategy is back on a shelf. Not because the thinking was wrong. Because there was no one left in the room.
We introduce the Retained Advisor relationship early, often during the strategy engagement itself, so the rhythm is already in place before the main work winds down.
You would be amazed at how much a leadership team can get done with just a few focused hours of dedicated problem-solving. Each session draws on practical frameworks to cut through the noise, giving you a clear and agreed list of priorities for the weeks ahead.
Monthly or six-weekly sessions with your leadership team. Working sessions, not status reports.
We bring the right tools to each session so your team can cut through complexity and leave with a concrete list of what needs to happen next.
A clear record of key decisions, priorities, and next steps from every session, as needed, so the work does not just stay in the room.
Someone who knows your context, your people, and the decisions you made, checking in on how they are playing out.
The same advisor who built the strategy with you, staying close to how it lands.
$3,000 + GST per quarter.
Includes up to 4 hours of strategic advisory time per quarter, used flexibly across one longer session or shorter check-ins as your team needs.
Work beyond this scope is discussed and quoted separately before it begins.
The Retained Advisor relationship suits leadership teams who have done the hard thinking work and want to protect their investment in it. It is particularly valuable if your organisation is in a period of change, if you have a strategy that needs to shift culture as well as operations, or if your leadership team is still building its confidence in making the hard calls together.
