Solving Strategic Challenges with Rigor, Relevance, and Speed
You don’t need another generic consultant. You need a partner who can help you solve complex business problems or seize emerging opportunities—with the same precision, creativity, and accountability you’d expect from your own senior team.
I work with senior managers of small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) to design and implement custom solutions that are both evidence-based and immediately actionable. My approach is rooted in design science—a structured problem-solving framework that ensures solutions are not just ideas, but tested, validated, and ready to perform in your unique context.
What I Offer
1. Strategic Consulting, Tailored to You
No templates. No buzzwords. Every engagement starts with understanding your goals, constraints, and ecosystem—so we can co-design solutions that work in your reality.
- New market entry & internationalisation strategies
- Digital transformation initiatives that drive business value
- Transitioning to circular business models and sustainable practices
- Complex problem-solving with high stakeholder alignment
2. Design Science–Based Process
I apply design science principles to ensure that the solutions we create are both rigorous and relevant—justified by data, and tested in practice.
- Structured problem diagnosis and ideation
- Rapid prototyping and stakeholder co-creation
- In-field evaluation and refinement cycles
- Documentation that builds both insight and alignment
3. Deep Sector and Strategic Expertise
You benefit not just from my method, but from my experience in applying it to real-world business scenarios across industries.
- Expertise in digital transformation, platform strategies, and data-driven business models
- Insight into international strategy, scaling, and localisation challenges
- Practical frameworks for embedding circularity and sustainability into operations
Why It Works
Traditional consulting often delivers either depth or speed—rarely both. My approach delivers:
- Clarity on what matters, through structured discovery
- Confidence in your strategy, thanks to validation in your context
- Momentum to act, with solutions tested and refined in real-time
This isn’t just advice. It’s design-led strategy and execution that fits your SME’s stage, ambition, and capacity.
How We Work Together
I offer flexible engagement models:
- Focused sprints to tackle a specific opportunity or bottleneck
- End-to-end consulting projects for strategy design and rollout
- Facilitated workshops for leadership teams and innovation units
- On-call advisory for when you need strategic input without the full engagement
Let’s Build What Works—for You
If you’re a senior leader ready to move from complexity to clarity—and from strategy to sustainable results—let’s talk.
Together, we’ll co-design smarter solutions for the challenges that matter most.
Why Work With Me
With a background in business consulting, applied research, and academic publishing, I understand both worlds—and speak the language of both. My approach is grounded, practical, and doctoral-examiner aware.
If you’re pursuing a doctorate that doesn’t just analyze the world, but aims to improve it, let’s work together to ensure your research is as impactful in practice as it is in theory.
How We Work: A Structured Yet Flexible Consulting Process
Every organisation is different. That’s why my consulting process—while grounded in proven design science principles—is adaptable to your specific needs, preferences, and budget. Whether you need a focused intervention or a more in-depth engagement, I tailor each step to suit your priorities, available resources, and decision-making style.
1. Clarifying the Focus
We begin with collaborative scoping conversations to define the business problem or opportunity. This may involve selected stakeholder interviews or internal discussions, depending on your team’s availability and the level of insight required.
2. Engaging the Evidence
Based on the agreed scope, I conduct targeted reviews of relevant academic and professional literature to structure the challenge and inform solution options. This ensures we’re not reinventing the wheel—and that proposed directions are backed by both theory and practice.
3. Developing an Initial Solution
Drawing from the insights gathered, I create a bespoke solution concept—whether a strategy, framework, prototype, or action plan. The depth and format of this deliverable can be scaled to match your timeline and budget.
4. Co-Creation with Your Team
If desired, we refine the proposed solution through interactive workshops or facilitated sessions with your managers and employees. These sessions are fully customisable—from short design sprints to deeper innovation labs—and ensure relevance, ownership, and alignment with internal realities.
5. Evaluation & Feedback
The solution can be validated through qualitative or quantitative methods such as surveys, structured interviews, or workshop-based feedback. Evaluation scope and tools are chosen in consultation with you to balance rigor, practicality, and cost-efficiency.
