Real challenges. Real change.

We don’t offer ‘off-the-shelf’ solutions, and we believe passionately that one size definitely does not fit all.

We’ll help your organisation to map its transformation journey and then provide practical guidance, directions and approaches for getting you there.

“Challenge have deep subject matter expertise and take a rigorous, practical but flexible approach. Their opinions are grounded in reality and they’re prepared to state an honest view, which is immensely valuable.”
— Executive Director, Leading UK Bank

Transforming business performance

Your instincts may be telling you that things aren’t as good as they should be but you’re not quite sure why or what to do about it. Or you need to deliver efficiencies even though it’s hard to spot the slack. Whether you’re facing these challenges or transforming the business for growth, we’re specialists in designing and delivering whatever changes are required.

Understanding customer value

Do you know where you make or lose money? And why? Or what your customers truly value? Are your support teams up-to-scratch in terms of efficiency? We’ll help you identify what it’ll take to profitably deliver superior customer value and service, and ensure your organisation is optimised to make this happen.

Post-acquisition integration

From helping you design the end-state of the joined enterprise, to mapping the path through all the risks of acquisition, we’ll keep all your people on board during the transition and help you realise real value from the integrated business.

dealing with the increasing burden of market and regulatory change

We will ensure that your business responds to these changes as a by-product of good governance and internal procedures rather than being driven and distorted by external demands.

Designing and managing successful change programmes

We will help you design, mobilise and manage your change programme; we have done this successfully in the largest and most complex organisations. Equally, if your programme has already started but lost its way, we will help you recover it.

Implementing Business Strategy

You know strategically where you want to go but have been hitting stumbling blocks on the journey to get there. Perhaps you’re looking to break into new markets, prepare for Brexit scenarios or wish to avoid competing on price alone? We’ll guide you through the implementation and management of organisational change, translating strategy into successful action.
