Who We Are
Accountability - Measured by your results
EXO is neither a strategy consultancy nor a team for hire. We set up and run businesses to create growth in partnership with our clients. We take on complex business challenges to find and deliver answers. We take action rather than just give advice.
We created EXO in 2017 as a team of highly experienced business professionals with track records having created over $1bn in capital growth and as Directors experienced in running companies from $0 to $100bn turnover. We recognise that the standard consulting model is an inappropriate way for us to engage with clients. We wanted to take more accountability for our work, be measured and rewarded more closely in line with results, to learn faster than we taught: something which standard consulting fails to allow.
With our accountable engagement model we:
- Prioritise client value creation above our fee generation.
- Break free from the constraints of billing by the hour and offer our 100+ years of experience as effectively as possible
- Take ownership for our work and personally drive it through to achieving the end goal
- Enjoy our work and the professional relationships that evolve through mutual trust and respect
Specialisation - This time its different
We will not claim to be experts in all matters. What matters to us is using our experience to add value where we can, whilst recognising that experience is rarely all that counts. If the answers to your challenges could be found in indexed catalogues of other peoples' stories we would rather sell you the book than charge you the fee.
We look for opportunities to combine our industry experiences, our horizontal skills and our methodologies to deal with the unbroken ground of new growth. Yes, this time its different, don't let the past constrain your future.
Compatibility - Filling the void
Established corporates need new growth in the same way an old tree grows new leaves. Too often big companies back away from the uncertainties of innovation, building on the past instead of building for the future. Innovation is left to start-ups, struggling for the resources to succeed beneath the dense canopy. The innovator' s energy and passion is blocked by incumbents fearing they will one day have their dominance threatened.
We want to energise and enable new growth where it has the greatest chance of success. We create opportunities and structures where corporates can embrace innovation and innovators can penetrate markets: bridging the void between disruptor and incumbent.
Above all - Team
Most importantly we seek to dissolve the barriers that exist between partners, clients and consultants to create a seamlessly blended team. We will work hard on our responsibilities and commitments to the team, to the venture, because we share the same goals focussed on your success.
