BUSINESS REVIEW

Consulting businesses are expert advisors on a range of business issues. However, they rarely apply the same rigourous methodologies to their own business. Growth is often opportunistic, strategies are fluid and management time for detailed planning competes with client committments. This is  further compounded as firms expand into new geographies, industry sectors or services.

Navitas provide a third party objective assessment of the opportunities to further develop consulting businesses.

The focus of this review process will vary depending upon the size and complexity of the firm but will always produce a snapshot of the shape of the businesses and potential opportunities for further development. The review process is designed to be completed within 1 week with minimal disruption to senior management.

For small firms, this involves testing the founders vision for their business and objectives. We are then able to highlight any differences in ultimate goals and may have developed over time and suggest next steps in development that will gain consensus approval.

Where firms have multiple services lines, sectors and/or geographies we produce a simple matrix highlighting the total capabilities of the firm. We then engage with those executives with ultimate P&L responsibility to gauge their reaction to obvious leverage opportunities. This allows us to produce a prioritised list of markets for development that have the support of all relevant executives.

Following our review Navitas is able to further explore opportunities highlighted. This may be a more detailed market study, acquisition targeting, team hire/build or a traditional executive search project.

The Directors of Navitas have over 25 years experience working with Consulting firms around the world and understand the motivations of Partners and business owners. We are well placed to help clients develop achievable growth strategies that will bring lasting value to their firm.
