How to take your business to a higher level?

Are you capitalising on 100% of your available assets? Are you fully taking advantage of digital? Is your business model tired and in need of reinvigoration? With so many new tools like Facebook, twitter and beyond it is remarkable how few companies are doing anything markedly different or indeed taking advantage of new innovation. At Duncan Wakes-Miller Consultancy we:

1. Understand what strategy really means in your industry

2. Are expert at identifying potential disrupters

3. Develop action plans that can break through

We provide immediate business performance improvement and have case studies to prove it.

 We deploy a proven methodology with real commercial understanding, consumer and competitive insights:

1. We visualise the state of play through deep immersion in your business, brand and consumers.

You know your business but sometimes a third party perspective can shine new light on old problems. We immerse ourselves getting to understand your business and the industry you’re in. We dig deeper to understand the commercial imperatives, and the brand ambitions. We use research, leading edge digital expertise and cross category experience to bring new perspectives.

2. We define what success looks like.

A technique to understand the real issues behind a commercial challenge. We define the driving factors and their commercial effect. Only by truly understanding the problem can we be in a position to articulate the solution to solve it. This is more than data and analysis but a definition from which we can apply critical thinking.

With so many businesses being so similar if you are 99% the same as your competition that 1% difference is 100% of the difference and we need to find that and leverage it to our advantage.

3. We plot your journey to a point of advantage.

Modern markets are complex, priorities lists are long, and momentum is crucial. We provide quick wins and capability gains against strategic imperatives to start winning. We identify through collaboration and insight what your brand stands for and ensure consumers see the same picture to realise your business potential.

4. We get the right stuff done (and continuously improve on it).

Resources are scarce and every investment demands a positive return. You need roles defined dynamically, tasks and deadlines set and realistic goals established.  Everything designed to be measured, managed and optimised.

You sometimes need the courage to prioritise between the many important things that are required. Not everything can get done and we provide the experience to empower you make the right calls.
