Business Advisory & Problem Solving
Perth-based executive business advisory for WA and Australian leaders facing complex decisions, growth questions, operational friction or unclear priorities.
When to engage
Owners, CEOs, general managers and functional leaders accountable for a business decision that crosses teams or disciplines.
Use this service when the challenge does not sit neatly inside one function and leaders need an independent senior view before committing people, money or attention.
The first piece of work
We agree the decision, evidence, stakeholders and deliverables before beginning. The review gives you a basis for action and a clear view of any work still needed.
Share only high-level context in an initial enquiry. We agree how detailed or confidential information will be handled before you provide it.
The review covers the agreed decision and evidence set. Detailed market research, specialist legal or financial advice and implementation are not included unless separately scoped with the appropriate expertise.
The schedule and fee depend on the scope, evidence and stakeholder access required. These are agreed in writing before work starts, together with Steve’s availability, responsibilities and completion or transition arrangements.
Working directly with Steve
Steve brings operator, founder, product, commercial and executive leadership experience to problems where business, people, process and technology overlap.
Explore Steve’s career experienceSteve works with the sponsor to define the decision, tests the evidence and assumptions with relevant stakeholders, compares options and presents a recommendation with practical next actions.
Steve leads the engagement and is responsible for the advice. Where appropriate, AI supports research and analysis within the agreed approach to handling information. Recommendations are checked against the evidence and business context.
Initial enquiries are reviewed by people and are not sent to AI or automated decision systems for classification or decision-making.
Before you begin
It usually starts with a focused review of the decision, the business pressure around it and the options worth comparing before larger commitment.
Use it when the issue crosses functions, priorities are contested or leaders need an independent senior view before committing money, time or reputation.
Most engagements leave leaders with clearer framing, comparable options, a sharper recommendation and practical next steps that can be acted on quickly.
Start the shift
A first conversation can establish the fit, the work needed and a useful next step. You do not need a polished brief.
