"Consultant, speaker and author Alastair Dryburgh helps businesses improve their financial performance, often in ways quite different from those first thought of."

"An outstanding contrarian consultant."
– Albert Wright, Institute of Business Consulting

"Taken at a conference centre where I was speaking to a group of chief executives. I told them do go into the maze, but know where you want to arrive, and how you'll find your way around."

"We are the most daring in what we undertake at the same time as we are the most thoughtful before going about it; while with others it is ignorance that makes them bold and thought that makes them hesitate."
- Pericles, ruler of Athens, c. 430 BC

Are you asking yourself questions anything like these:

• Are we getting too comfortable? Could we be getting trapped in our own orthodoxy?
• Where should we be thinking more clearly so that we can act more boldly?
• Is there somewhere where a small change in approach could produce a big change in impact?
• What needs to change for us to maintain our success in rapidly changing conditions?
• How do I as a leader ensure that my message is clear enough to withstand the constant pressure of conformity?

If you are thinking along these lines, we should be talking. With a straightforward, pragmatic approach to strategy and a mildly heretical view of business issues, Akenhurst Consultants helps its clients move more surely through complex and confusing times. We can help you clarify your objectives and message, or find areas where outdated assumptions are holding you back.

If you are sure that your strategy and processes are 100% right and you just want to raise efficiency there's probably not much value in us talking. On the other hand, if you are even slightly intrigued by the idea of small changes to your thinking making a big difference to your results, get in touch now. Or take a look at the sort of companies we work with or our range of free articles explaining what we do.
