We have used Haywood Strategic for many intense projects for predominantly Private Equity businesses looking at growth strategy, commercial Due-Diligence or performance improvement; across a number of different industries including consumer goods and industrials.
James has the right mix of rigorous complex problem-solving skills, pragmatism to arrive at actionable solutions and the personality to work effectively with clients from different cultural backgrounds.
We can always rely on Haywood Strategic to deliver sound strategic insights for our clients and would recommend him to businesses looking at delivering growth strategies or rapid strategic projects.

Organisation & Team Impact Assessment
“We used Haywood Strategic for a Leadership Team Impact Assessment of our business using the GC (Game Changing) Index. The whole Leadership Team was extremely surprised by the efficiency and the accuracy of the insights provided by the GC Index tool. The assessment tool measures how Individual Executives are energised to make an impact in teams through the business cycle of actions.
The Team Impact Assessment affirmed some things we already knew; for example, my COO complements my Innovative/Entrepreneurial side with his energy to implement my ideas. It allowed the Leadership team to get a clearer view on how our individual energies worked together, but it also highlighted a few areas of development for the individuals in my Leadership team as well as a few areas where the team could collaborate more and become more productive.
​
As my business reaches the next phase of international growth it was the perfect time to engage Haywood Strategic.”

Executive Performance Coaching
““I am an Entrepreneur building several complex businesses that we want to scale quickly, so I have an incredibly busy schedule as well as trying to balance family life.
I engaged Haywood Strategic for an Executive Coaching program to help me to think through the critical steps in my personal and professional Growth Strategy, so I could fully deliver both responsibilities in a balanced manner.
​
James listens extremely closely in the coaching setting to understand pragmatic areas for performance improvements, as well as uncovering any blockers that might me hindering growth.
If I’d have understood the power of coaching sooner, I would have engaged Haywood Strategic much sooner in my career, but better late than never, hey!
I would highly recommend Haywood Strategics' services to anyone looking for personal & professional growth”
