Business Design Sprint

A focused 12 sessions switching between design and implementation to map your whole business on one central reference frame.

Find the strategy that provides value your customers want and can't get anywhere else. Give it the structure it needs and optimise the systems to deliver on the strategy repeatedly, reliably and efficiently. So growing, scaling and selling your business feels natural, not forced.

Open to 10 businesses per quarter. Every session 1-on-1, keeping it exclusive and deeply personal.

What you get

A Strategic Business Reframe

All 9 functional areas mapped on to one integrated visual frame. So you can see the whole business at a glance. Core corporate, organisational and operational connections all arranged in a navigatable sequence.

2 - 4 validated strategy positions & value options

We identify 2–4 strategic options built around the unique value only you can deliver. Each shows the differentiated position, priorities and next steps required to make it work.

Structured business audit

We review the people, roles and resources behind the business, exposing weak links, stretched capacity and unclear ownership. The audit sets out the structural changes needed to keep work moving.

Value creation, delivery and capture map

We document how work, people and cash move through the business and where value gets stuck. The map exposes leaks, bottlenecks and the points slowing the business down.

Poor visibility & approach means never quite
into getting a grip.

Slipping into the haze of busy-ness, succumb under pressure, burn out and quit. Prematurely selling out for less then you deserve.

Or, get bogged down with an endless supply of advice and activity disguised as working on the business. Consuming the time, money and resources you say, you don't have.

  1. Persistent cashflow constraints.

    Struggling with the compulsive guilt of robbing "Peter" to pay "Paul" as debts pile up with tax, suppliers and payroll all pulling at the same cash.

  2. Relentless competitive clashes.

    Threatening to put the business out of business as the pressure to stay busy surrenders to the need to out bid competitors at any cost.

  3. Endless capacity & capability gaps.

    Contributing to the daily urgency to contain internal dramas, as focus on initiatives that really matter, have to give way to fires at hand.

Every business faces challenges, constraints and opportunities.

It's inevitable. Which challenges, constraints and opportunities — and when they show up is hard to predict and control. Knowing how to navigate and negotiate through them is essential, timeless and priceless.

What we deliver

The Business Design Sprint

It takes one integrated view, one simple approach and 12 sessions across 3 phases.

DefineChallenges, constraints & opportunitiesAlignStrategy, capability & capacityFocusExecution structures & systems

Strategic business reframe

Strategy (/ˈstratɪdʒi/) nounPins a position and creates a choke point in the marketplace, giving customers value they want and cannot get anywhere else.

We map the value only you can deliver across nine functional areas, delivering a clear, differentiated and unchallenged market position customers can recognise. You leave with one practical framework you can put to use as a central reference immediately, not a thick strategy deck.

Structured Business Audit

Structures (/ˈstrʌktʃə/) plural nounHouses the critical elements required to enable execution of strategy — people, resources and processes.

We analyse and fill structural gaps, organising capabilities and capacity while clarifying who owns what and when. This creates a practical structure that keeps decisions focused and moving without every bottleneck finding its way back to you.

Systemised Business Flow

Systems (/ˈsɪstɪm/) plural nounUtilises, activates, feeds and fuels the structures to deliver on the strategy — repeatably, reliably and efficiently.

We trace how people, activities and cash flow through the business, revealing stretched capacity, trapped cash and problems before they spread. This creates practical systems that keep work moving without unnecessary intervention.
