Strategy

The development of strategy and change management within the context of professional service organisations is at the core of our work. Since first considering these issues during his MA and MBA in 1992, they have been subject areas on which Andrew Hedley has focused his career.

Our view is that the development of stretching but realistic strategies together with the building of skills which enable change are the two core competencies that will separate the successful from the “also-rans” in professional services.

This has never been truer as professionals face an increasingly dynamic and competitive market. It is all too common for the leadership team to spend far too little time focusing on the long term prospects for their business while they deal with the distractions created by the pressing issues of the day. Practising professionals, charged with securing the sustainability and profitability of their organisations in the short term, often have difficulty in creating the necessary thinking time to consider the longer term direction of their businesses.

Hedley Consulting facilitates the development of strategy within the leadership group. We advise on strategic options together with how to effect implementation and change management.
