You have an uncomfortable decision to make and need someone to take the blame? Save the money for the circus with a big consultancy and get straight to work with us. We take all the blame for your forward-thinking move.
A fit when
“The decision is clear to you, but nobody wants their name on it.”
Afterwards the decision is made, and the blame sits with us.
Some decisions are clear long before anyone dares to make them. Everyone knows the old process has to go, the project has to stop or the team has to be cut differently. What is missing is not the analysis. It is someone who takes the heat.
The classic way: hire a big consultancy, sit through three months of interviews and slide decks, and in the end they recommend what you already knew. That costs a lot of money and even more time.
For example
- Downsizing. The numbers have said it for a year: the organisation is bigger than what it does. We work out with you where cutting makes sense, explain it to the people who stay and the people who go, and take the anger that comes with it.
- Carve-outs. A business unit should stand on its own or be sold. We untangle what belongs where, make the call on the disputed pieces and take the blame for every shared service that has to be split.
How it works
On a call we talk about the decision and why it is stuck. If we can stand behind it, we put our name on it: we make the case to your people, answer the uncomfortable questions and take the blame when someone needs to be angry at somebody. You get to work.
What you get
- A decision that gets made instead of postponed
- An outside party that carries the responsibility in public
- No circus
