Strategic Change for SMEs: Why Smaller Firms Need a Different Kind of Support to Avoid Business Leader Overwhelm

Most small business leaders know change is necessary—but that doesn’t make it easy. When you’re already stretched thin, even a small shift can feel like a big ask.

That’s where I come in.

I provide expert change support designed specifically for small and medium service-based businesses. Unlike traditional management consultants focused on corporate transformation, my approach is grounded in the real-world pressures of smaller firms: limited time, tight budgets, and teams already running at capacity.

My clients often come to me overwhelmed. They know they need to make a change—whether that’s adopting new technology, restructuring their team, or preparing for growth—but don’t know where to start. That’s exactly what I help with.
