Ways to work with us

Structured, fixed-scope engagements, each producing deliverables you can act on.

Offer one

Function Analysis Services

Understand what your process, plan or product really does, or what a new one must do. Function analysis decomposes the subject into the functions it must perform, each written as a verb and a noun, then arranges them using how and why logic. The result is a validated function list you can design against, measure improvement against, and decide automation against.

How it works

  • A client briefing confirms the subjects of the analysis, the focus areas and anything excluded.
  • Participants brainstorm the functions independently and in parallel, assisted by our online tool.
  • One-to-one sessions develop a deeper understanding of each participant’s view.
  • We synthesise every contribution, with the disagreements left visible rather than smoothed over.
  • A facilitated review, where the people who own the functions challenge, refine or endorse the draft.

What you receive

  • A validated function list, presented as a structured list, a functional tree or an architecture map.
  • Observations and recommendations, including the performance criteria, constraints and risks recorded along the way.
  • Where automation or AI is a possibility, a CARBS assessment of what stays with human judgement, what an AI agent can do and what a deterministic script handles better.
  • Everything in an editable format your team can update after we have finished.

Disruption Futures Programme

Create readiness and preparedness for what is to come. The Disruption Futures Programme maps what could disrupt, or open up, each part of your business across your chosen time frame, giving equal weight to opportunity and to threat: what could break, and what you could build.

How it works

  • Start with three horizons. Working with you, we create three scenarios for change: for example, six months, one year and two years.
  • Create the mapping matrix. Down one axis, what matters to your business: processes, products, markets and strategies. Across the top, the forces and technologies that could change them. One for each time horizon.
  • Workshop one. An end-to-end consideration of each scenario, identifying and confirming the context and what matters in each time horizon. At the end, a draft disruption strategy document is produced.
  • Reflection and research. Between the workshops, attendees reflect on the first workshop and undertake identified actions. We work with you on research and strategy, and hold one-to-one sessions with participants.
  • Workshop two. Review of the draft disruption response strategy to create the finalised product, including forward actions.

What you receive

  • A custom scenario analysis tailored to you, your sector and market.
  • A disruption anticipation and response plan.
  • A prioritised set of defensive and proactive moves and growth opportunities.
  • Delivered as an amendable document that can be updated and kept as a live document by your organisation.
Two workshops over 3–6 weeksfrom £8,000
