Why choose us?

Littleton Evans specialises in company optimisation. Often, this is associated with sharpening purpose, enhancing how key people and teams relate to others to maximise effectiveness (this is super-crucial), and aligning systems and processes to help support all that. We don’t deliver this alone on your behalf, but act as a coach, mentor or facilitator to help and guide you in the most effective way… you remain in control. 

Every company is unique… but there are a lot of similarities between them all, meaning the same sort of issues need to be resolved for greater success.  So, to start things off we offer a very straightforward (i.e. just the essentials) half-day optimisation training session based on all our accumulated experience and education, so you know up front what really matters… perfect for busy executives. Based on this, you might even decide you could undertake your own DIY optimisation!

All of our training and help is typically delivered via Zoom or Teams for ease, value for money and the environment, but we could come to your offices, depending on where you are located.  We are based in the South-Central part of England, near Salisbury and the New Forest.

Our 4-step company optimisation process...

STEP 1

“Let’s Talk”

(it’s good to talk)

We have a free initial conversation with you (owner/CEO) to learn a bit about your company, plus discuss what you need and what we can do to help foster your success.

Please use the form at the bottom of the ‘Home’ page to initiate this conversation.

STEP 2

Company Optimisation Training

(just the essentials)

You (and your top team) do the half-day ‘Company Optimisation Essentials’ training where you will learn the crucial elements for success.  As we discuss this, you will discover whether your company needs to make some improvements… or maybe not!  This helps equip you for DIY optimisation… or move to Step 3 for further help.

STEP 3

Bespoke Analysis & Planning

(preparing to thrive)

You know what challenges you face. Our structured discussions, questionnaires and assessments will help you understand these things in a deeper and integrated way which then helps us consider effective options for improvement and the means for actioning these… in a way that would feel right to you and your people. You can opt for an ROI review too.

STEP 4

Bespoke Follow-on Support

(facilitating your success)

This is where you decide if you you would like some support to help you make the planned actions happen in a smoother and more effective way, by tapping our vast experience in these things.  Most want this.  This can be just short-term or over a longer period… for individuals, the leadership team, other teams or departments, even company-wide. Success beckons!

Our bespoke individual services...

Personal Coaching for Leaders

This is tailored and flexible one-to-one or team coaching to develop key skills or style, maybe work-life balance for wellbeing, even ‘life’ issues, if helpful for the business.  Psychometric assessment is often chosen by clients to help with more focused development.

Business-Critical Projects

This is for helping you navigate tricky change projects (as your mentor, coach or facilitator), such as improving work culture, new ways of working or reorganisation.  We can also do confidential staff, customer or supplier interviews to understand what they really think.

Mediation & ‘Issue’ Resolution

This can be for internal company and family business ‘issues’, typically for disagreements between different team members, or with key external partners, which, if left festering and unresolved can certainly hinder optimisation of a company.

Sale & Succession Planning

This is to help you with the long lead time needed for a successful sale of the company or handover to a successor.  Basically, getting your company ‘ducks’ in a row and getting leadership team people up to speed to make the transition as smooth as possible.
