Our Approach

Understanding Your Objectives

Every organisation is different. We begin by understanding your ambitions, challenges and opportunities, ensuring our advice is tailored to your specific objectives rather than a standard consultancy framework.

Building Strong Partnerships

The most successful projects are collaborative. We work alongside leadership teams, staff and external stakeholders to build trusted relationships, strengthen existing teams and bring together the right expertise.

From Strategy
to Delivery

Ideas only create value when they are successfully implemented. We help develop practical strategies, establish clear priorities and support projects from initial concept through to delivery.

Creating Lasting
Impact

Our aim is not simply to complete a project, but to leave organisations in a stronger position - through new partnerships, greater capacity, stronger networks and strategies that continue to deliver long after our involvement has ended.

Selected Projects & Case Studies

Strengthening art dealers businesses

Assisting art dealers to maintain and grow their crucial role in the art market, development of artists and scholarship, and institutions - including restrategising impact and influence for one of the leading dealers in the world, reviewing key business decisions, developing their fairs programme and wider engagement with museums and the broader cultural sector.

Long-term strategy for major art fairs

Multi-year strategy for major international art fairs - setting clear goals and the practical steps needed to reach them, developing new initiatives across the organisation, together with financial requirements and key performance indicators. Engagement with stakeholders across the fair to build a shared understanding of strengths and weaknesses, and restrategising how individual projects and ideas could address them.

Institution partnerships and funding

Pairing an institution and business with the right partners to build something new together - identifying opportunities grounded in each organisation's own history and existing strategy, and developing the work from concept through to delivery. The results included more dynamic and distinctive programming that generated press coverage and stronger income from both existing clients and new partnerships.

Positioning new entrants to the art market

Advising multiple businesses entering the sector for the first time on how its many different actors - auction houses, dealers, fairs, museums, lawyers, insurers and advisors among them - interact with one another, and mapping where they could best position itself within that landscape.

Convening the cultural sector

Bringing together both public and private actors within the sector - from leading governmental and intergovernmental agencies, the art trade and independent experts, foundations and collectors in major summits and working groups to develop authoritative reference documents used across the field. Extensive consultation with stakeholders and experts, program development and delivery.

Museum due diligence & acquisitions

Comprehensive review and provenance research of collections. Development of acquisitions policy and procedures from the ground up for a group of the world's leading museums - ensuring governance was fit for the risks of the 21st century, among them legal exposure, provenance, and social and ethical considerations.
