Strategic Advice and an Experienced Sounding Board

Charles Taylor Managing Agency

A CEO needing a critical friend in uncertain times

Challenge

Making decisions at the level where the buck stops is never easy, especially when the stakes are high, and the pressure to improve performance is on. Internal management teams, though highly skilled, are often too close to the business and can have too much skin in the game to be impartial or be misguided by bias.

Solution

Being one step removed from the day to day running of the business, yet working closely with the management team, gave us a unique opportunity to provide guidance and advice impartially and neutrally. Offering an experienced sounding board can be the difference between just a decision and a great decision.
