Advisory

Clarity is rare. Structure is hard-won. Outcomes matter most.

Strategy, structure, governance, alignment, and venture design.

At Orkawild, we don’t step in to deliver answers for you — we work with you. We guide, advise, and mentor leaders through complexity so outcomes are achieved together. What remains is not reliance on us, but enduring clarity, capability, and confidence within your organisation.

We are selective by design, working only with a handful of boards, executives, and founders each year — those shaping what comes next in sport, education, consumer ventures, and complex institutions.

Independent by design. Selective by choice.
Focused on outcomes that endure.

How We Work

Orkawild offers two advisory pathways: Project Engagements and Advisory Retainers.

  • For moments where clarity and structure must be built together.

    Every project is co-designed with you to ensure:

    • clarity is created collaboratively

    • outcomes are understood and owned internally

    • capability is strengthened along the way

    • structures and decisions endure beyond our involvement

    Examples of project work include:

    • governance renewal and structural reform

    • membership or commercial model redesign

    • strategic reset and organisational alignment

    • venture design and early-stage concept development

    Projects vary in scope and duration.
    We shape them around your needs, not ours.

  • Independent perspective and high-level clarity when it matters most.

    A retainer is ideal when leaders need:

    • strategic judgement

    • confidential counsel

    • clarity in complex environments

    • support navigating boards, stakeholders, or reform

    • an experienced partner to pressure-test decisions

    Every retainer is customised, but typically includes:

    • regular strategic sessions

    • ad-hoc support for high-priority decisions

    • guidance through uncertainty, growth, or external pressure

    • leadership clarity and accountability structures

Why Organisations Choose Us

With, not for - We work beside leaders, not above or around them.

Judgement that sees the whole system - Boards, institutions, membership bodies, complex environments — we understand them intuitively.

Clarity that strengthens capability - Every engagement builds internal confidence, alignment, and ownership.

Calm leadership in moments of tension - We bring steadiness, structure, and perspective when the stakes are high.

More than consultants — strategic partners - Three decades of CEO-level leadership, governance experience, and venture design underpin our advisory approach.


The Orkawild Edge: The Seven Spells

Our work is guided by seven capabilities that define modern strategic leadership:

  1. Clarity – cutting through noise

  2. Judgement – knowing what matters

  3. Transformation – reshaping systems for resilience

  4. Story – aligning purpose, identity, and direction

  5. Alchemy – turning ambition into strategy

  6. Mentorship – strengthening leadership confidence

  7. Outcomes – designing results that endure
