Strategic Consultancy and Project Management
We rethink business models, train managers and executives, and manage innovation and transformation projects.
SMEs and Start-ups
Do you need to rethink your business objectives? Reorganise your operations and boost efficiency? Or revamp the processes and procedures needed to drive growth? We help SMEs and start-ups to structure their business and operations. See examples of the challenges faced by business owners.
Upskilling
It is likely that an SME will not have all the management skills required for business development. As specialists in work-based learning with entrepreneurs and business leaders, we provide support in the areas of management, administration, strategic marketing and intellectual property.
Corporate, Public Sector and NGOs
Are you looking for an experienced and reliable external partner to lead or support your projects? We bring management expertise to your team, with clearly defined responsibilities and objectives, and work in close partnership with your internal project team.
Principles and commitments
As a rule, specific business knowledge resides within organisations, in their people and systems. For this reason, the key to success often lies in the effective management and administration of existing resources. To this end, managers can draw on a wide range of models and tools available across various platforms, including generative AI; however, for these solutions to be effective, they must be tailored to the organisation, and managers must know how to do so.
At A&CP, we recognise this need and are committed to providing this support. A sound work ethic, partnership with the client and the setting of credible objectives form the basis of our approach. This begins with an assessment of needs, clarifying symptoms, problems and their causes. Next, and before any other activity, we work with our clients to set realistic objectives that are in line with existing capabilities and resources.
Our extensive experience across multiple sectors, contexts and geographical areas is the foundation of our approach. First and foremost, we observe, interpret and share our views, drawing on examples from past experience, whilst always seeking to maintain a focus on ‘common sense’ management.
