Our Experience

"There are no problems - only challenges."

All preponderate members have senior management responsibility within their own businesses and have typically worked in a number of sectors and a range of countries over many years. This gives the widest possible perspective to your business challenge.

From small business issues to the project demands of multinational enterprises, from high profit practices through social enterprise to charities, preponderate members have the capabilities to deal with your business issues.

Our members include former heads of national charitable organisations and are currently represented on a range of national steering groups tackling issues in the voluntary and community sector.

What We Have Done Before

As a courtesy to our client base, we do NOT reveal names of previous clients. We do not believe this would be in their interests as we are often called to deal with sensitive management or technology issues which it would be inappropriate to expose to a wider audience.

A number of recent projects are described here. In all cases, the client is referred to by sector and size only.

Market and competitor analysis (Youth charity)
Business Planning, Strategy and Feasibility Study (Education Charity)

If you have a particular challenge for preponderate, we would be interested to hear from you. All initial enquiries are dealt with by our Business Development team and all initial consultations are, of course, without cost to you.

We look forward to working with you.

See Key Streams for more examples of our work.

“It must be considered that there is nothing more difficult to carry out, nor more doubtful of
success, nor more dangerous to handle, than to initiate a new order of things. For the
reformer has enemies in all those who would profit by the old order, and only lukewarm
defenders in all those who would profit by the new order, this lukewarmness arising partly
from fear of their adversaries, who have the laws in their favor; and partly from the incredulity
of mankind, who do not truly believe in anything new until they have had actual experience
of it. Thus it arises that on every opportunity for attacking the reformer, his opponents
do so with the zeal of partisans, the others only defend him halfheartedly, so that
between them he runs great danger.”
From The Prince – Niccolo Machiavelli
