As a consultant, I’ve worked with businesses of all sizes and learned that, at the start of most needs, challenges, or opportunities, businesses rarely need complex consultancy. They need clear guidance, practical information, or a connection to an organisation, that can help with the first step.

WOSO-GaMI was created to provide SMEs with exactly that: initial guidance, information, and business connections, with no obligation to act on the advice or engage any further services. more info below

Work-life balance
After more than 30 years in management consulting, I decided to retire. While many long-standing clients still sought my advice, that chapter of my career formally came to an end three years ago. Reflecting on what I would do if I were starting again with the goal of supporting SMEs, one thing was certain: it would have to be virtual. I no longer wanted the constant travel, hotel stays, airport lounges, and lengthy project meetings that so often define a consultant's life.
Today, I provide straightforward guidance, share practical insights, and make introductions to trusted businesses and professionals who can help. The difference is that I now do it from a desk in a small bedroom on England's east coast rather than from boardrooms and conference centres globally.

Bedford ILab (Bedford Council)
Steve has provided our various sites with invaluable free guidance and support. From contract management and supplier negotiation to aiding with business infrastructure changes and planned upgrades, Steve has always been on hand to advise (along with regular troubleshooting for good measure!).
Managing various public sector sites, it is without doubt the guidance we have received has enabled our centers to run efficiently and effectively even with the continued budgetary constraints. We would be lost without you Steve!

IIB
While a independent Management consultant our founder was also a Fellow of the IIB — a network of more than 5,000 global consultants — our founder is entitled to use the post-nominal letters FInstIB. Fellowship is awarded by peers in recognition of a deep understanding of all aspects of business, together with a proven track record of helping companies and fellow IIB associates solve complex challenges.
Although the IIB has naturally diminished as many consultants have retired, he remains proud to use the designation, knowing it was awarded through the respect and recognition of his fellow consultants.
