Three core consulting services designed to help UK businesses develop strategy, improve operations, and plan sustainable growth with collaborative support.
Back to HomeHow We Support Your Business
Our consulting services focus on the fundamental areas where thoughtful guidance can make a meaningful difference: developing clear strategic direction, improving how your business operates, and planning growth in sustainable ways.
Each service involves collaborative work over multiple sessions, with the specific approach adapted to your unique situation. We're not applying standardized templates but rather working alongside you to understand your challenges and develop practical solutions together.
The pricing reflects per-session engagement, allowing flexibility to scale support based on your needs. Most clients work with us over several weeks or months, depending on the complexity of what we're addressing and how implementation unfolds.

Why Work With Compass
Collaborative Methodology
We work alongside you rather than delivering recommendations from a distance. This partnership approach typically leads to better implementation because you're involved in developing solutions from the beginning.
Transparent Process
You understand not just what we recommend but why. This transparency helps you make informed decisions and builds strategic thinking capability within your organization.
Practical Focus
Our recommendations account for your actual resources and constraints. We focus on approaches that can be implemented effectively rather than theoretical ideals.
Integrated Implementation
Support continues during execution, not just planning. We're available to help navigate the challenges that inevitably arise when putting strategies into practice.
Context-Driven Approach
Every business situation is unique. We adapt our methods to your specific context rather than applying standardized frameworks universally.
Long-Term Thinking
We focus on sustainable development rather than quick fixes. Our recommendations consider lasting impact and build habits that support ongoing improvement.
Choosing the Right Service
Each service addresses different business needs. Here's some guidance on which might be most relevant for your current situation.
Consider Business Strategy Development if:
You're looking to clarify your direction, exploring new opportunities, addressing fundamental questions about positioning, or feeling uncertain about strategic priorities. This service helps when you need to step back and think about where you're heading.
Consider Operational Improvement if:
You notice inefficiencies in how work gets done, feel that processes could flow more smoothly, see opportunities to streamline operations, or want to make daily work easier for your team. This service focuses on the practical mechanics of running your business.
Consider Growth Planning if:
You're thinking about expansion, considering new markets or offerings, want to understand your competitive landscape better, or need structured analysis to support growth decisions. This service combines market research with realistic scenario planning.
Not sure which service fits your needs? That's perfectly normal. We can discuss your situation during an initial conversation and help you determine the most relevant starting point.
Many clients work with us across multiple service areas over time as different needs emerge. There's no requirement to commit to a specific service before understanding your situation better.
How to Get Started
Initial Conversation
Reach out through our contact form or by phone. We'll arrange a conversation to understand your business situation, challenges, and what you're hoping to address. This initial discussion is exploratory with no obligation.
Determine Fit
During our conversation, we'll explore whether our collaborative approach suits your needs and preferences. We'll also discuss which service area seems most relevant as a starting point based on your current priorities.
Structure Engagement
If we decide to work together, we'll outline a practical engagement structure. This includes scheduling initial sessions, clarifying what we'll focus on, and establishing how we'll work together most effectively.
Begin Working Together
We start with learning about your business in depth, then move into collaborative analysis and solution development. The pace and focus adapt based on what we discover and what proves most valuable.
Understanding the Investment
Our services are priced per session, with rates reflecting the nature and complexity of the work involved. Business Strategy Development is £180 per session, Operational Improvement is £160 per session, and Growth Planning is £195 per session.
Most engagements span multiple sessions over several weeks or months. The exact number depends on what you're addressing and how implementation unfolds. This flexible structure allows you to scale support based on your needs and budget.
Unlike project-based consulting with fixed deliverables, our session-based approach means you pay for actual time working together. This creates transparency and allows natural adjustment as your needs evolve.
We're happy to discuss the likely scope and investment during our initial conversation. While we can't predict exact requirements before understanding your situation, we can provide general guidance based on similar engagements.
