How We Work

A Smarter Approach to Consultancy

For too long, organisations looking for consultancy support have had two main options:

 

Large agencies – Expensive, with high overheads and generic, one-size-fits-all solutions. Clients often pay for the brand but end up working with junior staff.

​

Independent consultants – While specialists bring deep expertise, working alone can limit scalability, collaboration, and delivery capacity.

 

Neither model is perfect. That’s why I do things differently.

A Collective Model, Built for Impact

At Affleck & Co., my approach is simple:
 

  • Curate bespoke teams of independent experts for each project.

  • Ensure senior-level expertise - no juniors leading delivery.

  • Keep costs transparent - clients pay for expertise, not unnecessary overheads.

  • Stay hands-on - we don’t just give advice; we help implement real solutions.


This Collective model brings the best of both worlds: the flexibility and specialism of independent experts with the structure and impact of a full consultancy team.

How We Deliver

Our Four-Phase Approach

Phase 1 

Understanding & Co-Designing the Approach

We start by immersing ourselves in your organisation - refining objectives, shaping project scope, and designing a tailored approach.

Phase 2

Assigning the Right Experts

Rather than assigning whoever is available, I bring in the best specialists for the job - ensuring every consultant has the experience to deliver real impact.

Phase 3

Agile, Hands-On Delivery

We don’t just write reports and leave. Our consultants embed themselves in projects, working alongside teams to deliver results in real time.

Phase 4

Knowledge Transfer & Sustainability

We make sure organisations are set up for success long after we leave - equipping teams with frameworks, insights, and tools to sustain progress.
