Executive Level Support

How often do you feel you ‘don’t know what you don’t know’ – and nobody in the organisation is willing to tell you…?

An organisation often suffer from one or two ailments:

• The unwillingness of its people to highlight problems and issues until it’s too late, through fear of making a ‘career limiting move’, (‘Yes’ men) or
• A failure to spot market changes that could bring threats or opportunities, due to the need to focus ‘on the day job’ (myopia)

Either leads to a less efficient and successful organisation, with limited growth compared with its potential.

Through our culture, experience and backgrounds, Prism’s senior people understand the ‘loneliness’ of the business executive. We have held senior executive positions in a number of blue chip and start-up businesses, with responsibilities ranging from supply chain and procurement through to customer and market management.

This gives us the ability to act as your ‘critical friend’, with the time and objective independence to help you to see what you may sense you’re missing – and the experience and insight to provide you with appropriate advice.

We employ our proven approach of Diffraction to:

• Break down otherwise intangible or indiscernible issues into easy-to-see components
• Review and validate alternative options and opportunities you may be facing

We then work with you to Converge these into:

• Direct actions and improvements in your organisation, supply/ transaction chains, or customer base
• New approaches to your existing markets, and/or diversifying into new ones

We believe in what we say and advise, so are always prepared to ‘stick around’ if you wish to assist in the implementation of any initiatives you may wish to pursue. This can include continuing the critical friend role as a Non-Executive board member, through taking ownership and leadership of the risk on your behalf, to establishing a risk and reward model for the initiative between you organisation and Prism. We would be happy to talk to you confidentially (and anonymously) about other clients we are assisting in this manner.
