Can’t find anyone to challenge your thinking? Need a safe space to work through your ideas?

Your team wants to please you, your board may not know the sector well enough to push back, and a traditional consultant hands you a framework rather than an argument.
121 CONSULTING

121 Consulting is a confidential sparring partnership for leaders working through a pivot, a launch or a board presentation they haven’t quite pressure-tested yet.

You bring the idea, we argue it through with you as peers who’ve made these calls ourselves, and you leave with a position you can defend.

HOW IT WORKS

For chief executives and editors

Who it’s for

C-suite leaders and editors – the people whose decisions are hardest to test inside their own organisation.

The format

We start with a one-hour conversation to outline the issues. Then we build on that over three more hour-long sessions. Each client gets a full report afterwards.

Confidentiality

Every session and the final report are strictly confidential.
