Primarily sm provide services relating to strategy, but we may also take on project work which extends into other areas.
Strategy Method (workshop, exclusive to sm)
Most people are good strategic thinkers, but are not always aware of the principles of strategy (much like the difference between speaking fluent English and explaining the rules of grammar). Awareness of those principles is the key to evaluating, communicating and designing strategies.
It allows all members of an organisation to contribute their insight and knowledge to the creation of a robust strategy.
sm provide a one day workshop to create a common awareness of the principles. $4,750 for up to 10 participants.

Strategy Design (exclusive to sm)
Strategy can’t be static. Competitors appear, technology, Boards, CEOs, times, and expectations change.
sm provides a strategy design and development service. The scale of the task will vary. Clients must have attended a method workshop and undergone a review prior to any design work. From $3,750.
Planning and design
sm will assist you through facilitation of planning and design sessions. From $3,750 per day.
Business processes
All businesses have processes. To improve them it greatly helps to document them using a common language. It also helps to have experience and knowledge of processes adopted by others, creativity, and a good understanding of the design process. Starting at $200 per hour.
Management reviews, projects, problem solving, internal policy, design, research and analysis.
sm can conduct management reviews in to many aspects of business. These may relate to efficiency and effectiveness, compliance, risk, project reviews and other matters. Talk to us and we will tell you honestly if we can help. Fees vary.
We are particularly interested in internal policies, their effectiveness, clarity and simplicity. Often internal policies are not complied with because they lack those qualities. We can conduct a management review and provide an assessment. We would consider various factors including:
- Completeness
- Risk
- Clarity
- Simplicity
- Compliance
- Integration and repetition
