Simply put, we solve cross-functional business problems to deliver performance or cost improvement to your bottom line.

Unfortunately, it’s much more common to find things going off track than working out exactly as we’d like.  And no two scenarios are ever going to be the same.  Factors may be external or internal; communication, funding, process, timing, competitive, people and skills or even unrealistic expectations.  Of course, it could be none of these, or all of them… and then, there will be yet more factors which are less obvious or unique.

Dissecting, and most importantly, resolving these difficult situations takes a seasoned appreciation of the many inter-dependent, technical and commercial factors that are invariably involved; while always remaining above the inevitable undercurrents of politics and vested interests that everyone would prefer to say are ‘unacceptable in our corporate culture’.

Resolutions require serious attention to detail, and often, the executive team will just have too many other daily responsibilities to devote enough time and effort to a problem before things develop into material issues that demand unwanted attention.

Is it a ‘Functional’ or Business problem?

First and foremost, we are business people with executive-level, functional experience spanning Sales, Marketing, Finance, Service, Support, Operations…. combined with a deep understanding of Technology. While we generally work with businesses that employ technology as a critical element of their business model, we’re certainly not your typical Telecom, IT or Technology people. While we are happy to be focused within an individual function, we really thrive on those difficult, cross-functional issues where everyone needs to be brought together to deliver what once seemed to be impossible.

So get a consultant in?

We are also not your traditional ‘consultants’. The last thing you probably need is an academic analysis and expensive report that leaves you with the thorny task of actually implementing the over-simplistic ‘recommendations’.   Even as you start making changes, inevitably, new factors emerge to get in the way.

A Different Approach

Westbray takes an integrated approach of strategic consultant, detailed contractor and interim manager, rolled into one surprisingly affordable day, or project, rate.  We’ll provide an experienced senior manager who can rely on real experience and can get into as much commercial or technical detail as necessary, while simultaneously identifying and tackling the core issues that are hampering the result you want. 

• We’re not just here to ‘do the analysis and leave you to it’. 
• We are about identifying and then implementing the most relevant changes that genuinely address the issues that will allow your business to move forward.

We’re totally committed to delivering our assignments as a temporary, yet integral, part of your existing team.  We seriously enjoy making a difference for our clients and are constantly striving to deliver more than you might have expected. 

We thrive on business problems crying out for a solution, however challenging. Please get in touch for a no-obligation discussion of your situation and requirements.
