Strategic Clarity
Three focused sessions applying structured consulting frameworks to your most important business challenge. You bring the challenge. Richard brings the rigour.
One challenge. Three sessions. A board-ready recommendation.
Each session builds on the last. By Session 3 you have a structured recommendation, financial framing, and a 90-day action plan you can act on immediately.
Diagnose — MECE Problem Structuring
Decompose your challenge into its true root causes. Leave with a clear problem map and confidence you are solving the right problem, not a symptom of it.
Analyse — Hypothesis & Financial Framing
Form a best-guess answer, identify the fastest test to confirm or kill it, and frame the financial impact in EBITDA terms. Leave with a tested hypothesis and decision criteria.
Decide — Recommendation & Governance
Structure the final recommendation, document risk acceptance, and build a 90-day action plan with named owners and a clear escalation path.
Six specific outcomes
A precisely stated problem — not a symptom or a solution in disguise
A MECE root-cause map of your challenge
A tested hypothesis with EBITDA financial framing
A structured, board-ready recommendation
A 90-day plan with named owners and milestones
Risk acceptance documented — not assumed
This is for you if…
You are facing a decision that keeps getting deferred because the problem is not fully understood
You are struggling to separate root cause from symptom and keep solving the wrong problem
You need to frame a recommendation for your board or leadership team and want it to be rigorous
You are running on instinct on a high-stakes challenge and want to stress-test your thinking
Richard Shaw
The frameworks in Strategic Clarity are the same ones Richard uses on live enterprise architecture and transformation engagements at Defra, the Home Office and the NHS. MECE structuring, hypothesis-driven analysis and decision governance are not theoretical tools for him — they are how he works.
The coaching approach means he will ask the questions that surface what you already know but have not yet structured — rather than imposing a solution from the outside.
