Advisory
At WS, we believe that advice is only truly “good” when every word is vested with viability. We take this seriously enough to be willing to shoulder some of the sharp end when required i.e. help implement anything we recommend.
Our Advisory practice covers strategy review, benefit realisation and impactful techniques for ensuring your messages are always clear and compelling. To do this, we draw on the rich functional and vertical expertise from international leaders with proven success in meeting challenges just like yours. In particular, we can help you ensure that:
Your strategy is truly viable
The best strategies are readily understood by everyone who must live with them. This means the ambition must be grounded in realistic and measurable targets for each stakeholder group and that these alone dictate the operating model, technology and people requirements the firm chooses - nothing is assumed or bolted on. This establishes a clear line of sight between the ambition and the marginal employee’s activity and dependencies. So when things change, as they surely will, everyone is able to quickly and smoothly prioritise what must be done to still achieve the desired outcomes. We can help you rapidly perfect a strategy and line of sight that are both effective and easy to understand.
Its benefits are fully realised, on time
Great execution is about much more than good planning and good project management. Successful strategies are ruthlessly benefit-focused and adapt smoothly to mid-cycle changes. This requires freeing up the right capacity and exploiting the prevailing culture in a way that can strike lasting bargains with the business and pre-empt progress measurement. We can help you achieve all these things by drawing on years of experience in successful, lasting delivery.
Your messages are clear and compelling
Overdependence on your team’s writing skills and on your clients’ willingness to spend time trying to understand the output is a major cause of poor sales conversion rates. But trying to “fix” these directly is usually a near-futile exercise. So we focus on helping your team structure your messages in a way that sidesteps any such dependency and slashes the time taken for the audience to accept your argument. Our proven techniques can help ensure your presentations and proposals are more succinct, clearer and more compelling.
