Your Path to Breakthrough Results
My approach is designed to deliver maximum value with minimal disruption to your busy schedule.
Each engagement follows a proven three-step process tailored to your unique situation:
1.
A Discovery Session
We start with a discovery session focused entirely on your business challenges and goals. This isn't a generic intake call—it's a valuable strategic conversation that often yields immediate insights. You'll walk away with clarity on whether we're the right fit and a preliminary understanding of potential solution paths.
2.
Developing A Plan
Based on our initial session, you'll receive a comprehensive strategic plan tailored to your specific challenges. This includes a detailed analysis of the problem space, prioritised solution options, and a clear implementation roadmap. We'll refine the approach together, ensuring it aligns perfectly with your business realities and objectives.
3.
Executing On It
This is where strategy transforms into results. Whether I'm executing the plan myself or guiding your team through implementation, you'll see focused action, regular progress reviews, and agile adjustments as needed. A typical engagement runs for 3-6 months, with clear milestones established at the outset, so you always know where things stand.
Got Questions?
A Fractional Problem Solver gives you specialized strategic expertise on a part-time basis—senior-level skills without the full-time executive cost. Unlike traditional consultants who often deliver reports and recommendations then disappear, I work as an extension of your team to both develop and implement solutions. My multidisciplinary background across product strategy, user experience, and technology allows me to address complex challenges that span multiple domains, giving you integrated solutions rather than siloed advice.
I specialise in strategic challenges at the intersection of product, user experience, and technology. These include product-market fit optimisation, user engagement and retention strategies, product roadmap development, technology selection and implementation, digital transformation initiatives, and innovation strategy. The common thread is that these are complex problems that require both strategic thinking and practical implementation expertise—exactly the kind of challenges that are holding back your growth potential.
The consultancy service is a comprehensive "I do it for you" solution where I take ownership of solving your strategic challenge from analysis through implementation. The advisory service is a "you do it, I help you" model where I provide strategic guidance, frameworks, and feedback while your team handles the implementation. Both options include regular strategy sessions, but the consultancy model includes more hands-on work and deliverables. The right choice depends on your team's capacity and the complexity of your challenge.
While specific outcomes vary based on your unique challenges, clients typically experience improvements in key metrics like user engagement (20-40% increase), customer retention (15-30% improvement), product development efficiency (30-50% faster time-to-market), and strategic clarity that leads to better decision-making across the organisation. I establish clear success metrics at the beginning of each engagement, allowing us to track and measure progress and ensuring you see tangible returns on your investment.
Most client relationships begin with a 3-6 month engagement, which is usually sufficient to address a specific strategic challenge. Many clients then transition to an ongoing advisory relationship to tackle additional challenges or maintain strategic momentum. The consultancy package is structured as a six-month engagement, while the advisory service operates on a quarterly basis. This timeline allows for meaningful change while maintaining flexibility for your evolving business needs.
The process begins with a free discovery session where we discuss your challenges and determine if we're a good fit. If we decide to move forward, I'll prepare a tailored proposal outlining the scope, approach, timeline, and expected outcomes. Once approved, we'll schedule our kickoff session and begin the discovery phase of the engagement. You can book your free discovery session by clicking the "Solve My Problem" button scattered throughout the page—it's the first step toward transforming your strategic challenges into opportunities for growth.
