Consultancy

Consultancy can mean many things to different people. Cambridge dictionary defines it as “the activity of giving advice on a particular subject”. To us, it is the services we offer to resolve specific problems or where specialist knowledge or experience. Often it is needed but, for one of many reasons, is not available to our clients in-house.

Making the work visible

We use value streams to show the flow of activities and documenting them using standard notation formats. We strive to make sure that all the documentation is unambiguous and is explained during the engagement which means that our work is always clear to follow and maintain once it’s handed over to you.

As Unique As you are

We will adapt all we know to your situation and will create a tailored consultancy engagement for your needs not just churn out the same approach we use for every client. Our approach is pragmatic. Many talk about achieving best practice, but for some of our customers that goal is so far in the distance that it is almost inconceivable and leads to inertia and despair.

Once upon a time, in a bustling city where glass skyscrapers kissed the sky and the hum of technology filled the air, there was a small park. This park was an oasis of greenery amidst the urban sprawl, home to a majestic oak tree that stood tall and proud. This oak had witnessed the city grow and evolve over many decades, and it had become a symbol of strength, wisdom, and resilience for the locals.

Across the street from this park, a group of visionary entrepreneurs was in the process of establishing a new consultancy firm. They wanted a name that would not only represent their commitment to providing insightful and robust solutions but also reflect their deep roots in the community and their dedication to helping businesses grow and flourish.

One crisp autumn morning, as the founders met to brainstorm names, a ray of sunlight broke through the clouds and illuminated the old oak tree in the park. Its leaves shimmered with a golden glow, casting a warm, inviting light. Inspired by this radiant sight, one of the founders suggested the name “BrightOak.” The name embodied the brilliance of innovative ideas and the steadfast strength of the mighty oak, a perfect metaphor for their consultancy.

And so, BrightOak Consultancy was born, with a mission to illuminate the path to success for businesses of all sizes, drawing on their wisdom and experience to help clients thrive in an ever-changing world. The majestic oak continues to stand as a reminder of their origins and their commitment to excellence.
