3 Reasons Why You Should Use External Experts in Your Business

Reduce Costs

Don't pay a full time Captain's salary for tasks that could be done for less cost by a full time Corporal and part-time Captain.

Do you really have 40 hours a week of responsibilities for each of your executives, or could some of those tasks be delegated to a project manager or financial controller on half the salary of a seasoned executive.

Staff Development

Attracting and retaining the best talent means providing career development opportunities. Talented staff don't want to wait till an executive retires before they get a chance to be involved in strategic value-add projects.

Instead, we help our clients to give talented staff the opportunity to step up and take on executive level responsibilities under the guidance of an experienced executive mentor.

Unlock hidden value

Many small to medium sized businesses cannot afford several hundred thousand dollars of annual salary for an experienced C-Suite executive, so a financial controller or ICT manager ends up holding the keys to some of the business' most valuable assets:

  • Business data that could have been distilled into insights about profit drivers; and
  • Strategic options that could have been presented to the CEO.

Alastair Cranswick was part of a 3-person team of specialists that comprehensively reviewed our marketing, sales, customer on-boarding and partnership operations, providing the evidence-based insights we had been seeking for years.


What distinguished Al's work was the honest assessment of our challenges, transparent communication throughout the process, and actionable recommendations. The cross-functional alignment workshop he facilitated created genuine consensus across our teams.


His ability to connect brand values with operational strategy delivered sustainable improvements that continue to benefit our organisation. I would confidently recommend Alastair for any complex strategic challenge.
