No-one can afford to stand still – organisations need drive, impetus and fresh expertise to deliver complex change programmes and ambitious growth strategies. This is where our help comes in.
Our experience
We have been helping clients in the leisure, hospitality and gaming space since 2004. We have built a solid reputation as a ‘go-to industry specialist’ for interim manager-led change and transformation within the leisure, hospitality and gambling sectors.
We work with some of the industry’s leading organisations and have supported business-critical programmes that have materially changed organisations for the better.
How we help
We will help you identify the best way to deliver change programmes expertly, quickly and cost-effectively – be that a senior interim to fill a gap, or specific expertise on a short-term basis to overcome obstacles, deliver a growth plan or steer a turnaround.
This can include providing individuals or teams of consultants in a model that bridges the gap between management consulting and interim management resourcing.
We maintain a network of interims which now connects thousands of independent management consultants and hands-on delivery experts across the globe.
Our team manages every stage of an assignment’s delivery using a rigorous ROI methodology of control and monitoring through milestones and objectives.
