Create business strategies without consultants.
Notus gives small and growing businesses access to management consulting thinking and tools without the long contracts or high fees.
Every company needs a strategy…
Consultants know the theory, while you know your business. Notus marries the two, while sparing the expense.
How Notus works
The vast majority of companies can’t afford to hire strategy consultants on long contracts for high fees. That’s why we created Notus. Our approach does away with the smoke and mirrors of agencies and gives businesses the tools and information they need to create their own strategies.
Guided Learning
Each Notus guide is made up of modules and lessons that teach the theory and give step-by-step guidance to drafting a strategy. By the end of each guide you’ll have everything you need to draft and implement your business strategy.
Expert Support
Our guides are drafted by industry experts with deep knowledge of their field and experience advising at the highest levels of both the public and private sectors. Throughout the process of completing the guide and drafting your strategy our experts will be on hand to support.
Flexible Approach
Notus guides are designed to fit around your schedule. Each module is made up of five lessons, complete one during your commute or over your morning coffee. Alternatively, complete them all at once. Whatever approach suits you and your business best, Notus caters to it.
Integrated Management
As you progress through the guide you’ll fill in the Notus Strategy Template. This provides the necessary structure to draft, implement, manage, and share your new strategy.
