Case studies
Theory is all very well, but what’s important is that it works in real life. It’s of fundamental importance to my work that I stay involved in business strategy and real-life leadership situations. Here are five examples.
Multi-generational family business, major expansion
A busy, profitable multi-generational family business, ambitious for the future and accustomed to being on the front foot, had continued to innovate and grow rather than simply relying on what previous generations had built. Now another significant expansion was approaching.
Precision engineering, employee ownership transition
Brafe Engineering is a successful precision-engineering business with deep technical expertise, high-stakes global clients and considerable loyalty among its people.
Regional hospice group, merger ahead
An expanding group of regional hospices was preparing to take another hospice organisation under its wing.
Engineering group, return to private ownership
Over many years, the family-owned organisation had grown into a remarkably diverse collection of specialist companies serving markets around the world.
