Helping organizations get things done, and done well.

Services

Negotiation Strategy, Support & Audits
Whether it’s helping our clients negotiate multi-million dollar contracts, working through contract disputes or just getting a gut-check from a trusted advisor, we always help our clients get results and create value.

Strategic Counsel
We’ve spent decades leading and advising leaders. We know it can often be lonely at the top, and you need a trusted voice who will speak the hard truths and suit-up to run with you towards the fire when everyone else scatters.

Strategic Plan Design
Acting as experienced facilitators, we know that framing is always more important than execution. Getting the right plan in place, one that has the buy-in it needs to succeed, will set your organization up for success.

Executive Coaching & Leadership Development
Vulnerability is your greatest strength as a leader, always. Knowing yourself is the first step to mastering your brief. Whether we like to admit it or not, everyone needs a sounding board, trusted confidant and honest broker.

Governance Support
Boards and the organizations they govern often have complex relationships – much like a family, all of which have their patterns and predispositions. ‘Process’ shouldn’t be a bad word. Whether you’re looking for a governance review, strategic support and advice, or a plan to evolve from where you are to where you want to be, we will help broaden your perspective, challenge your established thinking and help set your path to success.

Policy & Legislative Advisory Services
Government seems like a black box to some people, but not to us. We’ve been in and out of government for two decades, catching (and sometimes throwing) all the ‘incoming’ hot potatoes. We don’t lobby. We help you understand how, when, where and why to make your case to policymakers.

Communications Planning
A good communications plan combines the art of the “how”, and the science of the “why”. We’ve spent years developing and implementing plans on projects large and small, always believing that a living, breathing plan is the surest way to have your message not only heard but understood.

Business Development
To grow your business you have to know your markets. We help clients identify their markets, and the influencers and key players so they are ready to buy what you are selling – and we use the experience we’ve gained leading trade missions to the US, Middle East, Asia, the Caribbean and South America.

Crisis & Issues Management
The smallest “issue” or the most benign “crisis” has the potential to suck time, money, reputation and resources from your core mission when badly handled. You need the best at your disposal, and you want our experience in your corner when it counts the most.

Media Training
Not everyone can sing when a mic is stuck in their face – even the so-called pros. We’ve rolled-out major communications plans, pulled together late-night newsers, done double-enders across borders, written speeches, statements and press releases and everything in between. We’ll have you ready to ensure all the butterflies can fly in formation.

“Paul took the time needed to understand our non-profit and our various stakeholders. He researched our path to date and gained an understanding of where we were headed. We particularly appreciated the review he provided of various theories of Governance and how he applied that information to our specific situation. Paul went to great measures to put himself in our shoes. We now have a strong document outlining several options and recommendations that we will be working to implement over the coming year.”
