01 / Conviction
Most firms don’t need a hundred slides.
They need one answer, defended, in the time the decision allows. Ruth Halden has spent twenty-two years being the person a board calls when the plan stops working.
Scope agreed, team named, fee fixed.

03 / Working papers
The work a board actually remembers
01
Strategy under constraint
When the plan has to change and the runway hasn’t. We size the options, kill the ones that don’t survive the numbers, and defend the one that does.
Deliverable: Options paper
One recommended, and the numbers behind it.
02
Commercial and pricing
What you charge and why the market accepts it. Rebuilt against your own win and loss data, not a benchmark deck.
Deliverable: Pricing model
Rebuilt on your own win and loss data.
03
Operating model
Who decides what, how work reaches them, and where the current structure quietly stops it.
Deliverable: Operating map
Who decides what, and by when.
