About the Work

The strategic planning engagement helped our leadership team reach a shared view of where we were heading — something we'd struggled to articulate for over a year. The facilitated workshop format suited us well. We left with a roadmap we actually use.

We engaged Verdantis for the Operations Diagnostic after noticing delays in our order fulfilment cycle. The report was thorough and, more importantly, it was readable. The recommendations were prioritised in a way that respected our capacity constraints — not a generic framework.

I appreciated how little time was wasted. The pre-session interviews meant that by the time we sat together, the facilitator already understood our dynamics. The three leadership alignment sessions were among the most productive conversations our senior team has had.

Verdantis came to us through a referral, and I understand why people refer them. There's no overselling, no inflated scope, no pressure. They asked the right questions and delivered a strategy document that our board accepted with very few revisions. That doesn't happen often.

We were a bit sceptical at first — we'd had consultants before who left binders that collected dust. This time the outputs were practical and our team actually engaged with them. Six months on, three of the five priority recommendations have been acted on.

What stood out was the quality of listening. The consultant didn't try to fit our organisation into a template. She asked, observed, and came back with observations that were specific to us. That specificity made the whole engagement feel worth the investment.

Our two senior partners had been operating with different assumptions about the firm's direction without fully realising it. The leadership alignment sessions surfaced that and gave us a structured way to work through it. We came away with a clearer, shared picture of where we're going.

The four-week follow-up call, which I'd initially assumed was just a courtesy, turned out to be quite useful. We'd run into a specific implementation question that the team was able to help us think through. It's a small thing, but it reflected an attitude I appreciated.
