Business transformation from first conversation to sustained result

I have spent more than forty years improving business performance. Financial performance, operational performance, supply chain performance, you name it. The 6E Model® is how we establish what is really happening, decide what needs to change and make sure the business can hold the result.

See the whole business before improving the parts

Business Reality

In our experience, organisations are often poor at seeing the whole business. Functions optimise their own measures and protect their own priorities. Russell Ackoff warned about the consequence. Improve the parts in isolation and the whole can perform worse.

We see it in excess stock, queues, rework, missed delivery and cash tied up for longer than it should be. None of that fazes us. We begin by establishing the actual condition and the needs of everyone affected by it.

I help businesses shorten their timelines and improve cash, margin, and revenue. The 6E Model® provides the structure for lasting change, from understanding the business through to sustaining the improvements.

Choose the right level of intervention

Some organisations need a clear evaluation. Some need focused recovery. Others need wider transformation or stronger internal capability. We establish the condition first and then agree the right level of support.

Founder led, with the capability to scale

I lead the model, the Evaluation baseline and the senior alignment. Where an engagement requires wider delivery or specialist capability, I bring in experienced associates selected for the condition, the sector and the result required. The team can scale. The method, standards and accountability do not change.

A proven methodology for delivering sustainable bottom-line benefits

Davie is different to any other “consultancies” that I have experienced within my career. He delivers on time and with a bottom-line benefit to the business that is sustainable after his exit.

Davie took time to understand our current state and constructed a phased plan which initially stabilised the situation whilst the root causes were being addressed.

I would certainly use him again.

A strategy for turbulent times

We worked with Davie on developing a strategy that both pointed the business on a route that navigated those challenges but also addressed the wider initiatives of our owning group.

Ideas developed through experience

My books and articles explore the relationship between time, leadership and business performance. This is where I go deeper into The Timeline, The Essence and Drift, and test the thinking against the reality of running and changing organisations.
