Connected decisions. One strategic direction.
RESET
A change in ownership, an acquisition, or a new strategic direction rarely comes down to a single decision. Each choice affects the others.
Two private half-days in Málaga to examine the connections, challenge assumptions and work through possible scenarios before setting your direction.
When the decisions are connected.
New ownership changes what investors expect. Growth forces choices about leadership, investment and operations. An acquisition raises questions about integration, priorities and control.
Each choice affects the others. A decision that makes sense on its own may take the business in the wrong direction when viewed alongside the rest.
In Málaga, we work away from the meetings, people and daily pressures surrounding these decisions. Two focused sessions give us the space to examine how the choices affect one another, how key stakeholders might respond and what could change along the way.
01
Prepare the ground
We identify the connected decisions, expectations and strategic questions that need attention. You provide the relevant context and materials, which I review before we meet in Málaga.
How the Reset works.
02
Work through the Reset
Across two private half-days in Málaga, we examine the connections between decisions, challenge assumptions and explore how different scenarios could unfold. We establish the direction and priorities for your next phase.
03
Leave with a Strategic Compass
You leave with a clear strategic direction, the decisions that support it and priorities for the months ahead. Your one-page Strategic Compass captures what you've decided and what happens next. We reconnect within 30 days to review progress and any necessary adjustments.

An independent perspective, grounded in experience.
I've advised more than 250 leaders over 25 years and have built, led and exited my own company.
I understand what it means to make difficult decisions and live with their consequences.
I combine that experience with scenario and script thinking, examining how people, interests and unexpected developments could change the outcome.
You work directly with me, in confidence, with no preferred outcome or implementation project to sell.
