Slingsby Consulting Strategic Advisory
Services

Advisory services to help your business grow

Each engagement is scoped to your needs. The services below can be engaged on their own or combined as part of a broader advisory relationship.

Project Approvals

Major projects often depend on securing approvals from councils, government agencies, landlords, financiers or internal boards. The process can be slow and the requirements unclear. We help you plan the pathway, prepare well-organised submissions and keep the process moving.

Our role is to bring structure to the process: understanding what is required, coordinating the people and information involved, and helping you respond to questions and conditions as they arise.

What this can include

  • Mapping the approvals pathway and likely requirements
  • Preparing and coordinating submission documentation
  • Liaising with authorities, consultants and stakeholders
  • Tracking timelines, conditions and next steps

Director Services

Company directors carry significant legal and practical responsibilities. We support directors and boards to meet those responsibilities with confidence, through sound processes, clear records and considered decision-making.

Whether you are a founder taking on a board role for the first time or an established board looking to strengthen its practices, we tailor our support to your company's size and stage.

What this can include

  • Board meeting structure, agendas and minutes
  • Support with director duties and decision-making processes
  • Company secretarial and record-keeping support
  • Board reporting and governance frameworks

Strategic Advice

When you face a significant decision (a new market, a major investment, a restructure or a change of direction), an independent perspective helps. We work with you to clarify your objectives, weigh the options and set a practical course of action.

Our advice is grounded in your business's circumstances, and focused on decisions you can act on.

What this can include

  • Strategy sessions with owners, executives or boards
  • Options analysis for major decisions
  • Setting priorities and measurable objectives
  • Ongoing advisory support as plans are implemented

Business Growth Planning

Sustainable growth needs a plan that connects ambition with resources, timing and risk. We help you turn growth goals into a structured plan, with clear milestones and the steps needed to reach them.

What this can include

  • Business and growth plans
  • Identifying growth opportunities and constraints
  • Implementation roadmaps and milestones

Governance & Risk Advisory

Good governance and a clear view of risk protect the value you are building. We help you put in place practical policies, oversight and risk management suited to your organisation, without unnecessary complexity.

What this can include

  • Governance reviews and improvement plans
  • Risk identification and risk registers
  • Policy and delegation frameworks

Stakeholder & Government Engagement

Many projects succeed or stall on the strength of their stakeholder relationships. We help you identify the people and organisations that matter to your project, plan how to engage them and communicate clearly throughout.

What this can include

  • Stakeholder mapping and engagement plans
  • Preparing briefings and presentations
  • Coordinating meetings and follow-up

Our services are advisory in nature. Where a matter requires specialist legal, accounting, tax or financial product advice, we will recommend that you obtain it from an appropriately qualified professional.

Fees and engagement

Every engagement is different, so we provide a written scope and fee proposal before work begins. Fees are set out in your engagement letter or invoice, and can be paid online by card through our secure payment page.

Client testimonial

“We brought Slingsby Consulting in when a growth decision had stalled between the board and the operating team. They cut through the competing briefs, set out the real options, and gave us a recommendation we could defend. The work was direct, well timed, and free of the theatre you get from a large firm. We left with a decision, not another report.” — Zane Fihelly, managing director, South Australian PSF
