“First, it's a chance to stop and look at the business from a perspective, and specifically at the different areas in comparison to benchmarks. And then it's extremely valuable to have people who really have a deep understanding of the industry and of your business' data to evaluate the status quo and provide insights as for future moves. Not only regarding things we should do, but also others we should not. I found the process very efficient for clients who cannot pay the high bucks big organisations can. The previous data gathering and diagnostic tool, followed by the in-depth feedback from consultants.”

“The consultation was very valuable - speaking about our issues with an 'outsider'. Also the final report, where you highlighted our obvious red flags which we missed."

Petit Press

"This process made us ask ourselves important questions about the current state of the business in general but also about the state of some specific areas, even as detailed as our registration strategy."
