PLAYBOOKS
A play for every inflection point.
The work falls into four kinds. Every play below is something we have run inside a real business — not a framework, a play. Growth, systems, turnaround, owner and exit.
Growth
Grow on purpose, not by accident — with the offer and the customers you already have.
Au Naturel
Grow with what already works
Channel Expansion
New channels, proven offer
New Revenue Hotline
Complementary lines for the customers you already have
Big Foot
Expand the footprint
Parallel Partners
Same customer, not a competitor
Strategic Reset
Realign the business around what it's actually for
Systems
One set of numbers everyone trusts, and the layer underneath the owner.
Single Source of Truth
One set of numbers everybody trusts
The Scoreboard
The five to seven numbers that run the business, weekly
Handover
Document and delegate the owner's job
Unit Economics Teardown
What one unit, customer or job actually makes
The Bench
Build the layer underneath you
Fewer, Connected
Rationalize the stack so the systems talk
Turnaround
Cash first, stabilize, then decide what to stop.
Cash First
Stabilise cash and buy time
Cut to the Core
Decide what to stop
Renegotiate
Suppliers, leases, terms
The Front Door
Pricing and margin, fixed at the source
Unit Triage
Close, fix or convert — unit by unit
Trust Rebuild
Lenders, franchisees and staff, in that order
Owner & Exit
Built so it could be sold — whether or not you sell it.
Sellable
Built so it could be sold, whether or not you sell it
Take Back the Calendar
Get the owner out of the day-to-day
Succession
Who runs it next, and how they learn to
Right-Sized
Decide you're big enough, on purpose
Partner Alignment
Get the owners agreeing on the same future
