Services
What We Deliver
Three distinct offerings — each designed to bring rigour, data, and fresh perspective to your strategy process.
Service 01
Scene-Setting Briefings
60–90 minute custom presentation
A custom, data-rich presentation on the competitive landscape in SA financial services — delivered at the start of your strategy review to sharpen focus on the economic backdrop and how that impacts where your company is (Point A) before turning to the Strategic Agenda which will substantively focus on where Point B might be and how you are going to get there.
Macro-outlook and trends
Key economic and policy developments, and broader trends, that will shape your operating environment.
Regulatory and Fintech disruption
Regulatory shifts, emerging competitors, new business models, and the technology trends reshaping financial services.
Competitive landscape
Where you stand relative to peers — market share, product mix, and segment performance across the SA financial services landscape.
Service 02
Independent Facilitation
Your agenda, run by an objective outsider
A business unit often knows exactly what it needs to discuss. The issues are clear, the data is in hand, and the team is ready to make decisions. What’s missing is a neutral facilitator who can hold the room, keep the conversation disciplined, and free leadership to participate rather than manage the process.
This service is exactly that. You set the agenda. I run the room. The facilitator brings no preset content but introduces structure, neutrality, and the discipline to keep a roomful of senior people focused on the decisions you came to make.
It is also a natural starting point. Many engagements begin here and progress to Service 03 once the team decides it wants the outside-in industry challenge layered on top of the process.
Pre-Session Alignment
A short briefing with the convening leader to understand the agenda, stakeholders to include to achieve desired outcomes, and dynamics in the room. This prep is done to ensure the agenda delivers the desired outcomes, and runs smoothly.
Independent Facilitation
A neutral outsider holds the process for the duration of the session — half-day, full-day, or two days — keeping the conversation on track without steering its content.
Real-Time Capture
Decisions, action items, and unresolved questions are captured live in the room so nothing leaks out the door.
Service 03
Strategy Facilitation
1–2 day strategy sessions led by a SA financial services insider
Strategy sessions often fall flat — dominated by politics, bogged down in operations and victim statements, or lacking external perspective. Strategy Facilitation is different because the facilitator brings deep SA financial services domain expertise, not just process discipline.
Each engagement includes pre-session stakeholder interviews, 1–2 days of facilitated working sessions, and post-session synthesis into a clear strategic roadmap. The outsider in the room is qualified to challenge assumptions, surface blind spots, and ground the conversation in what’s actually happening across the industry — moving the team from Point A to a sharper, evidence-tested view of Point B.
Pre-Session Interviews
Confidential conversations with key stakeholders to surface the real issues before the room convenes.
Industry-Grounded Challenge
The facilitator brings current data on the SA financial services landscape and uses it to test assumptions, ask hard questions, and stress-test the proposed direction.
Structured Facilitation
1–2 days of focused, disciplined strategy work — not a talk shop, but a working session that produces decisions.
Strategic Roadmap
A post-session synthesis document capturing decisions, priorities, accountability, and the path from Point A to Point B.
