What we offer
Lighthouse’s founding partners set out to create a new type of adviser for your business. We took the best aspects of two professions – management consulting and business research – and combined them to create something better.
The result is Lighthouse – a consultancy which provides decision-makers with opportunity analysis based on research of the highest quality.
It's a proposition that people seem to like. And in the 5 years since we started, we've built a practice advising some of the world’s leading businesses to prove it.
And what we don’t
We’re not the kind of consultants who spend months sitting in your business. We won’t sell you hardware, software or linger to soak up budget and create work for ourselves.
Instead, most of our projects are tactical analysis of situations or issues and revolve around clear deliverables and a tight timetable. We’re research and analysis focused.
We concentrate on getting a detailed picture of your sector, and then bring you intelligent, tactical strategies and solutions to help you grab opportunities and move forward with confidence.
As one of our clients said recently,
“You’ve taken the guesswork out of our planning”.
Fresh ideas
Yes, we like digging deep into the numbers and crunching the data but the way we see it, opportunity analysts should have imagination too.
Independence
We owe it to you to give our honest, unvarnished opinion on the issues you’ve asked us to analyse.
We make our assumptions clear and you’re free to challenge us to explain our conclusions – that’s all part of the job. As a specialist firm, we have no axe to grind.
Our independence allows us to tell it like it is – and that’s particularly important when it comes to advising on commercial due diligence.
International reach and language skills
We advise businesses with operations in all the main international markets – Europe, Asia and the United States. Our teams understand the need to tailor your strategy to the unique features and conventions of your market place.
Sector insight
Our people have first-hand experience in their chosen professional fields – management consulting, banking, accountancy, legal services and venture capital – as well as being expert business and marketing strategists and analysts. So when you come to us, you get familiarity with your sector and insight.
Focused working
Before we accept a project, it’s vital that we understand your objectives clearly. Sometimes that means helping you define what you want to get out of working with us. That way you can be confident that our work is tightly-focused, well-planned and accurately budgeted.
A call to action
Too many consultants leave their clients informed but unsure how to take the next step. Not Lighthouse. We want to make sure that you get a return on your investment in our advice and analysis.
Using workshops, project management methodologies and our bespoke suite of proprietary and powerful analytical tools (including Launch Grid, Brand Driver Mapping and Campaign Manager) we’ll help you to build consensus about what to do next, and draw up a plan for implementation. So you don’t just know what needs doing, you also know exactly how to do it.
