SULGRAVE  PERSONAL CONCEPT
At a time when all too many business people do what they want and not what they should, it is increasingly difficult for the rest of us to get things done, regardless of technology.

You are successful, an achiever; you know what you are doing and how to get things done; and yet daily it seems as though the world and even your company have a disease. You do not want the contagion to spread to your career. One cannot threaten to sue or to fire all the time, 24/7, or routinely engage forensic accountants to oversee finance. You cannot retain multiple legal counsel to oversee legal counsel. Yet one has to manage risk to drive productivity amidst change. What can you do?

Team with us to screen your horizons, optimize your people networks and work through your gordian knots before you have the crisis.  Use customer complaints and employee grievance to rationalize your business and drive innovation. You don’t have to keep doing it the same old way. Embrace change.
 
We ask the impertinent questions to get you to the pertinent answers as Jacob Bronowsk suggested in  “The Ascent of Man,” 1973.  We will improve your profits, decrease your costs, screen for risks and help you get issues to your financial and legal specialists before the problems grow to eat you and your money. Whatever your sector, we can meet your problems head on. We spot the anomalies and solve.

We draw on a breadth of understanding and depth of knowledge in business, law, science and technology to spot the critical anomaly and solve. We do not synthesize solutions for clients, leaving them to execute as they will, but rather team with the client to ask the impertinent questions which lead to pertinent answers. Together we spot the anomalies and solve. The solutions emerge from synthesis of the client's own data, skills and processes and our knowledge and skills in seeking questions and deriving answers. 

Clients who team with us know how to execute their own their own solutions because we go to the heart beyond the accepted strengths and obvious challenges. Together we find the unexpected. We redefine the client holistically, deriving strengths, anticipating contingencies to focus efforts.  Teaming with clients, we can synthesize information and concepts from disparate fields and with detailed concentration on a client's business model and execution in order to derive true inter-relationships and distill new insights into strengths and challenges.

We help our clients streamline company and personal business models for efficient use of time, resources, strengths and personal contact while being thorough and attentive to detail. We identify true core competencies, not always those which seem obvious.

We spot problems and build solutions, aiming to clear the horizon before the problems become lethal or legal.
What goes awry to spawn a crisis is never the crux of the real problem. There is always deeper dysfunction.

In a world driven by quarterly earnings and spin, companies get caught up in a myth of operational health. At a critical level, typically before the real meltdown, no one can say there is anything wrong, lest they be accused of negativity and be excluded, demoted or sacked. Companies go on burying symptoms of corrosive trouble until there is indeed a major crisis, either of a cascade of small problems, or one big explosion.

We stand by you through the best and worst, and stay to build solutions and support your insights when there is no one else to listen. We will be there when you fell most alone at the top – or slipping down the slope. We will network with the best networks to make sure you ace these tests.

What we offer comes out of strategic opportunities we have seen businesses lose, often before the chance the chance even arose, largely because no one wanted to mind the details or the consequences, facts clearly within their grasp. Unpleasant details which tended to negate their model were shunted to the side or buried.

A strategy won’t yield growth if you forget the details.  And functional legal details do get forgotten, such as Marketing just loaded the specs of your yet to be released product on your own company website, laying out the basis for an infringement cease and desist letter from your key competitor.  Or your engineer just created a prototype out of your competitor's product and Marketing put it out there in the ads.

Catastrophic consequences to profit growth can result from company disarray or managerial hubris, as Halliburton learned from asbestos. We are detailed because you have to be. We identify true core competencies, not always those which seem obvious. We help you spot problems and build solutions, aiming to clear the horizon before the problems become lethal or legal.
