Strong businesses start with solid foundations.
Direction. Connection. Impact. Value.
What is your business determined to do?
Risk mitigation or rallying cry, your foundations should support your business ambitions.
Times change. Markets move. People move on.
Businesses evolve, or fail.
Want your business to weather the waves of change? Don't leave it to chance.
Be intentional about your core foundations - make them strong.
Align your business around them - make it invincible.
Be More Rock.

Grow strong
What does 'growth' mean to you? Building the right team or customer base? Expanding into new markets? Driving more sales? Acquiring new businesses or more funding?
Mobilising your business effectively demands a clear focus & an aligned team. Define your foundations, then align & inspire every part of your business around them.
Exit strong
Businesses don't get sold overnight - the most successful exits are the ones that have been properly planned for.
Family secession, MBO or outright sale... the strength of your foundations will be part of the due diligence process & can have a sizeable influence on your business valuation & buyer appeal.
Where we stand:
Strategic consultancy should be clear, direct & 100% client-led.
Rock is led by what each business needs, not by what each output is labelled.
We won't let the latest buzzphrase - be it 'purpose-led' or 'differentiated proposition' - to detract from what really matters: the four foundations that every strong business is built on.
Direction, Connection, Impact & Value.
How we roll:
Silo-free
Our approach is joined-up & friction-free.
By talking with client team members at every level, across every function, our foundation strategies are more informed & have greater buy-in. By coordinating alignment partners across a wide range of commercial, cultural & creative areas, we join the dots up across delivery too.
Straightforward
Our style is direct, clear & grounded.
No jargon, no padding, no nonsense; no forced methodologies or proprietary models. We're led by data without drowning in it & we focus on fit-for-purpose programmes that real people can run with.
Strong
Our work is robust, relevant & effective.
We examine your business from every angle, researching your market & competitors as well as talking to the people that matter - your team, clients, partners etc. We work with you to find strong solutions that have both "fit " for what's now & "flex" for what's next.
