Growth Challenges

"Without Joe's advice, I don’t think we would have done it. We’re incredibly grateful for his analysis and guidance....We started thinking seriously about the evolution of our business and the value in it. We realised that we needed a pair of expert outside eyes. Joe gave us that but also brought invaluable expertise and knowledge about running consultancy businesses. He has been a key asset not just in developing a strategic plan but also in implementing it"

“Each time I’ve spoken to Joe, I’ve come away feeling inspired and full of energy to follow the reading, leads and ideas that have come out of our session. From our first discussion, I knew I’d found the right person! Joe’s breadth of knowledge about what makes a successful consultancy is second to none. His direction has led us to a much bolder strategy than I would ever have envisaged. We have the confidence, through Joe’s advice, to think bigger. The MESH management team loves working with Joe, and I’m sure yours will too.”

“Joe's expert judgement and immense knowledge of the field helped us cut through some confusion and make some really helpful decisions and choices. Our business is really beginning to move up a level thanks to his help. We're looking forward to continuing to work with Joe as our business grows.”

His foresight and dynamic thinking have helped us achieve and expand our long term strategic goals. Above all, Joe’s combination of commercial awareness and academia, makes him a powerful contributor to any organisation fortunate enough to work with him”.

"We are an ambitious consulting start-up, looking to grow quickly and steadily. Joe is a great advisor helping us to stay on track. He reminds us of the most important. He helps us to find new talent. And he is always a sounding board to our fast-changing priorities and new ideas. It is always good to talk with somebody external, especially such a kind advisor."

"Being a Founder can be an isolating and daunting experience. In my 14th year of business I found myself with some unexpected challenges which needed some external support and Joe’s valuable steer. His donated some of his energy when I was lacking some, he believed in me when I was lacking some self belief and I continue to seek his advice which is always straightforward, practical and tailored to my specific stage in my business development"

"Making the decision to contact Joe was without doubt, the most important decision we've made yet in our company's history. Joe's expertise and advice has provided incredible value to our business. Joe has identified revenue streams for us that we hadn't even considered, has provided critical advice on how to best grow our team and has introduced us to many key contacts in his network who we otherwise never would have met. I couldn't recommend Joe more highly to someone on their journey of starting up their own firm"

"We engaged with Joe to provide external support on scaling and growing our consulting business. Joe provides valuable insight from his body of research and previous interviews with consultancy owners who have scaled their firms. He has a well defined framework for assessing and improving the value of a firm, which is easy and practical to apply. The nature of his research work means that he has a strong network and I’ve found the introductions he has provided very valuable."

“Through Joe’s thoughtful mentoring and constructive guidance I was able to clarify my professional service offering and rediscover what I do best. As generous, knowledgable and kind as anyone I’ve ever met, I’ll always be grateful for our introduction”

"Professor O'Mahoney delivered a comprehensive development programme with our Partners that made it easy for them to identify and implement behavioural changes that in turn drove business results. Joe did this by deeply understanding their context and ensuring that the programme is tailored to their specific needs. Thanks to this approach, Partners were fully engaged in the programme and excited to implement lessons learned as well as share them with the team. Everyone agreed it was a brilliant programme!"
