The decision
in front of you.

Ninety minutes, just the two of us. Bring me the call you're sitting with, data, systems, a transformation that's stuck - and we'll work it through properly. You leave with my honest take and a clear next step, not a list of things to think about.

How it goes

i.

A quick pre-read

I send a short form so we start on your actual question, not on me getting up to speed.

ii.

Ninety minutes together

We meet on Google Meet and I record it for you, so you don't have to scribble notes while we talk. You bring the decision; we get into it.

iii.

A note from me after

Within 48 hours I send a written summary, the call I'd make in your shoes, and what I'd do next.

Bring me something like

The specific, slightly-too-big calls where another head in the room saves you weeks of going round in circles.

  • A programme that's stalled and you can't quite see why.
  • Choosing, or replacing, a system, and not wanting to get it wrong.
  • A migration you're nervous about, and how to take the risk out of it.
  • A reporting or data strategy question that keeps shapeshifting.
  • An operating model question you're trying to get straight in your head.
  • A board or investor conversation on systems and data you want to nail.

VI · What People Say

Words from the room.

A handful of notes from leaders, founders and chairs I've worked alongside.

Barbs walked into a programme that had been stuck for nine months and had us all reading off the same page inside a fortnight. The plan we left with was the one we actually ran.

She tells you what she thinks. No fluff, no vendor agenda. Our board got a read on our data we could finally act on, and a short list of fixes we could start on Monday.
James Okafor
ChairNorthstone Group
Having Barbs in the room changed how we made the call. She knew the context from month two and saved us from at least one expensive mistake on the systems side.
