Mindsheet was founded in 2003 by Raglan Tribe, and is committed to help our clients improve their market position, revenues and profits by the application of our business growth and innovation services. Globalisation, the fast pace of technological change, the emergence of low wage centres of manufacture and the move to a knowledge-based economy mean that business has never been so competitive. As a business leader you face the challenges of identifying and exploiting growth opportunities, keeping ahead of the competition, focusing resources and managing risk.
Mindsheet specialises in helping companies transition through key stages of growth, to fulfill your business potential. Our core purpose is to align your company DNA for growth by focusing on 4 horizons:
- Clarity & Focus - Getting crystal clear on your goals and reducing your journey to logical but simple stages
- Going Safe - Stabilise your Growth Platform in existing markets to enhance margins for security and reinvestment
- Going Different - Systematic experimentation and discovery of innovation opportunities to support high growth
- Going Big - Exponential growth enabled by people networks, scalable systems, products, and exponential technologies
Our difference is that we put you in control of every stage of transformation. You lead the project and outcomes, but you can augment any shortfalls with a blend of the following services:
- Training: the key benefit of external consultancies is their professional advice and independence. Why bring on expensive contractors if your people can be trained to undertake the transformation. We give your team the skills to manage change which is key to your future growth
- Achievement Oriented Learning: we don’t just put your staff through courses that are forgotten by the time they get round to solving the problem. Instead, the training is built into project plans that are linked to your business outcomes. Just allocate your staff to a task and the targeted training guides them through the actions. This is delivered through our Company Growth Success software platform
- Coaching: now that you own the project and outcomes, you may want some hand holding to guide your teams through the transformation. Just add one of our experienced consultants to your team and we can help resolve any issues through regular coaching calls
- Consulting: if you are short of people then you can allocate some of our experienced consultants to any challenging activities. They will solve the problem and help your journey back to self-sufficiency. Our consultants have at least 10 years of management experience and can work with you to plan this transition from the outset
We deliver value through designing practical solutions to business issues, listening to our clients, thinking creatively and using a rigorous approach to problem-solving.

We have specific market expertise in the pharmaceuticals, automotive, aerospace, defence & security, communications, IT and finance industries.
