What really makes a strategy work—and why do so many professional services firms get it wrong? In this conversation with Alastair Beddow of Meridian West, we dig deep into how service-based companies can craft and implement strategies that actually stick. We explore what strategy is (and isn’t), the role of evidence and data in decision-making, and why buy-in across the firm is non-negotiable if you want to move from vision to execution.

I share stories and insights from my own experience alongside Alastair’s expertise, and together we unpack the pitfalls of treating strategy as a static PowerPoint document rather than a living, breathing process. If you’ve ever wondered how to align your people, your clients, and your resources in a way that fuels sustainable growth, this episode is for you.

Topics We Cover in This Episode:

Why most strategies fail before they even begin
The surprising role of “saying no” in fueling growth
How the “triangle” of firm, clients, and people drives every strategic choice
What professional services can learn from private equity’s approach to growth
How to navigate the emotional challenge of pulling back from long-time clients
Why short-term wins matter for long-term strategy execution
A framework to ensure your strategy doesn’t just sit in a drawer

If you’re ready to think differently about how strategy is created, communicated, and lived out inside your firm, this episode will give you practical tools and a fresh perspective. Tune in, take notes, and start putting these ideas into practice today—because the best strategy isn’t just written, it’s implemented.
