Strategic Consultancy

Strategic Consulting: Solutions and Advice

In this day and age it is essential to target efficient strategy and deliver on promises.  Poorly conceived strategy and ineffective planning are often at the heart of the many initiatives that fail to deliver against expectation.

Such mistakes cost dearly through loss of client confidence, staff morale, business profit and job security.  Getting it right first time is essential if you want to enjoy the benefits of a win-win situation for all concerned.

Our strategic consulting service will help you to avoid these pitfalls.  We adopt a simple approach:

• Establish your current situation and future objectives
• Facilitate informed discussion with key members of your team
• Provide leadership on key drivers for change, matched against your culture
• Embed practical delivery mechanisms to get on track and stay on track
• Bring about positive outcomes through empowering your workforce

Our model can be applied at any level within an organisation just so long as there is a desire to bring about incremental and coordinated change to future direction.

Project Example

Flier – this client needed assistance quickly to address its pension deficit problem if the company was to survive and asked Pi to identify the options available to them.  Pi considered what was in the Company’s best interests and gave strategic advice that resulted in an approach being made to the PPF and the Pensions Regulator, using support from other professional advisers where appropriate.  In everything that we did, we at all times had full regard for the interests of employees and the Trustees of the Company’s pension scheme. 

Pi’s involvement took the Company to a stage where an ongoing dialogue with both the PPF and the Regulator was set up to enable a successful transition of the Company’s Pension Scheme into the PPF.  This included complex discussions, liaison with Company and Trustee advisers and very tight project management.  The outcome was a successful result "in record time."  Throughout the project, Pi kept all parties and stakeholders fully informed of developments.

The client contacted us to say that: "It would appear that we have achieved a successful conclusion to this project.  ‘Flier’ has the chance to prosper and we have protected jobs, paid our creditors and maintained some value for existing shareholders.  I would like to sincerely thank all at Pi for your efforts on our behalf."
