We say what the decision needs, and when it needs nothing.
Five decisions, each led by the partner whose question it turns on.
Sergio leads where the decision turns on whether it will pay. Giulia leads where it turns on whether anyone will want it. The other brings the half they do not lead.
Each ends in something written that you take away: a strategic frame (the decision, its case and its priorities, for the committee that must approve it), a creation brief (what is made, who it is for, how it earns, why it will be chosen), or an AI operating architecture your own people can run.
Find the growth
Growth strategy · Market opportunity · Market entry · Portfolio value creation
Where will the next return come from, and what will it cost to reach?
We size the opportunity, test each move against your economics and your customer, and rank what is left standing. What you take away is a strategic frame: the growth strategy with its investment case attached.
Sergio leads; Giulia brings the customer.
A brief that fits a portfolio company mid-hold, growth flat, a value-creation plan the management team has yet to own.
Create something new
Business building · New ventures · Product strategy · Investment case
A business that does not exist yet: what should it be, and will capital back it?
We design the model and the product as one thing (what it is, who it is for, how it earns, why it will be chosen) and put the case in front of the capital before anyone builds. What you take away is a creation brief and an investment case built for an investor’s scrutiny, with a prototype where the idea has to be seen before it is funded.
Sergio leads on the model and Giulia on the product; each brings the other’s question.
A brief that fits a destination or a catalogue, and an owner who wants the case before the capital.
Reposition what exists
Brand strategy · Product and experience · Repositioning · Relevance
A brand, a product or a property that has lost its pull: what should it stand for now?
We find what people still want from it, decide what it should stand for now, and redesign the product and the experience to match. What you take away is a strategic frame for the repositioning, then a creation brief: the product decisions, the creative direction and the numbers that show it pays.
Giulia leads; Sergio brings the commercial case.
A brief that fits a heritage house under new financial ownership, sales holding, desire fading, a collection due.
Make AI useful
AI strategy · Operating model · Working prototypes · AI investment case
Where does AI change your economics, and where does it not?
We separate the uses that move your economics from the ones that only add activity, design the operating model around the uses that remain, and build a working prototype on our infrastructure before anyone commits to a system. What you take away is an AI operating architecture your own people can run, proved on one of your real processes.
A prototype here is a working workflow: our reading of what you need, built on our infrastructure and run live on a real process of yours, so the decision is made on something that works. It includes how the work is done and how people are trained to work with agents. The production system that follows is built by us where it is small, or by the builder you choose where it is an enterprise build — which we do not do. It is not a slide, and it is not a new product you have to launch.
Sergio leads; Giulia brings what your customers and your people will notice.
A brief that fits three AI pilots, no operating model, a board asking what the return is.
Take it to market
Business design · Pricing and channel · Creative direction · Launch direction
The decision is made: how does it reach the market, and to what standard?
We design the business around the idea (pricing, channel, partners, the operating model at launch) and direct what is produced: what is made, by whom, and to what standard. Your teams carry it out, with the specialists we select. What you take away is a creation brief for the launch: the business design, the creative direction and the launch plan.
Giulia leads on what is made and Sergio on the business design; each brings the other’s question.
A brief that fits a funded venture six months from launch, the brand still on paper, a team that has never launched one.
Decide. Design. Prove. Enable.
The partners decide and design. You see the proof before you fund it. Your people carry it.
Decide.
What should be done, and what should not, in a written position you can take to the board.
Design.
What it should become: strategy, product, brand and operating model, designed as one thing.
Prove.
The investment case, the prototype, the creative direction, in front of you before you commit.
Enable.
Your own people carry it through, with specialists selected for the challenge where needed. We direct production and hand over the architecture.
The Session first. Then the work it calls for.
Every engagement starts on your situation, not on a proposal. What the Session finds becomes a defined project and, where the work earns it, a mandate.
How it beginsWhat we turn down.
- Media buying, performance marketing, social operations and content for volume.
- Build-shop work on systems we did not design.
- Enterprise implementation at scale.
- Any engagement with no decision behind it.
We do not become your operations. We choose the work by the decision at stake, not by the size or type of the company.
Five decisions. One first step.
If yours is one of them, or near one, it starts the same way.
