Founding Partner: Andrew Constable MBA

I specialise in taking startups, early-stage & more established businesses from 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲.

As an MBA qualified Forbes contributor & consultant, my practice is based around:

Lean Startup – Spend More Time Building vs Planning Your Business

Most products fail not because entrepreneurs fail to build what they set out to create but because they waste needless time, money, and effort building the wrong product. In other words, they make something nobody wants…We assist you in finding a better way.

Jobs-To-Be-Done – Unearth Customer Struggles

Jobs To Be Done (JTBD) is a method that helps you understand why and how people obtain the products they do.

Testing Business Ideas – Reduce the Risk of Failure

We use a set of tools, techniques, and tactics designed to help you validate an idea for a new product quickly, objectively, and accurately.

Business Modeling – The What, Who, How and Why

The strategy workshop process is your key to empowering participants, by using the tested Lean canvas, business model canvas, Value proposition canvas and Customer forces canvas, to identify areas of business growth, by following an approach used by the leading organisations.

OKR Consulting – Drive Alignment & Focus

Objectives and key results lead to better performance management by tracking your progress through goal-setting. You can use them with groups and teams, and they’re set over a specified amount of time so you can track your progress.

I run the agency, 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.

I am a fellow coach of Andrew’s; we improve our coaching practices in a mastermind group for Continuous Innovation coaches. Andrew is often the coach who is “ahead of the curve” on his knowledge and understanding of innovation best practices and coaching methods, and is the one I often look to for advice on my own practices. Of all the coaches in our mastermind, I would most highly recommend Andrew for clients and companies looking to speed up and improve their startup/innovation efforts.

Andrew is very passionate about start-ups and innovation and it comes across very clearly in terms of the work he is doing for his clients.
