What Struan brings, what the record shows, and what Struan deliberately is not.
Experienced people working directly with clients — not delegated to a junior team behind a senior partner.
No incentive to manufacture downstream work, and no large firm behind the engagement to feed.
Grounded in actually carrying responsibility for outcomes, not observing from a distance.
Close enough to the work to understand what is really happening — not reliant on second-hand reporting.
Struan does not publish client names or programme details. These examples reflect the nature of the work — not a complete record of experience.
There is no fixed methodology. The intervention is adapted to the situation — not applied from a standard template.
See the whole system before intervening — the real structure, not the reported one.
Test assumptions, behaviours and structures that have gone unquestioned.
Identify the few things that will materially change the outcome.
Turn judgement into practical action, and stay close until it holds.
Struan does not seek to become another consulting resourcing business. Growth is selective and will not be pursued at the expense of seniority, quality or independence. The value is judgement and intervention — not headcount.
Leaders engage Struan for judgement and intervention — not for volume.
They need someone who can see the whole system, challenge what is not working and help leadership move.
