We work with leadership teams on restructuring, transformation and growth — combining
strategic perspective with hands-on execution.
What kind of challenges does Aurentor help with?
We help organisations when something important needs to change — whether that means improving performance, restructuring the business, transforming operations, reducing costs, building new capabilities or creating new growth.

What does Aurentor specialise in?

Aurentor focuses on three areas: Restructuring, Transformation and Growth.
Across these areas, we bring experience in strategy, operations, technology, organisation and change.

Is Aurentor a strategy consulting firm?

Strategy is part of what we do, but our work does not stop at recommendations.
We work with clients from understanding the challenge and making the right decisions
through to implementing change and delivering results.

Does Aurentor work with implementation?

Does Aurentor work with implementation?
Yes.
We believe that good advice only creates value when it leads to action. Our teams work closely with clients to turn decisions into measurable change.

When should I hire Aurentor?

Aurentor is typically brought in when the situation is important, complex and execution
matters. That could be a restructuring, transformation, performance challenge, growth initiative or
another business-critical shift.

Can Aurentor help if we don’t know exactly what the problem is?

Yes.
Many of the situations we work with are not fully defined when we start. We help leadership
understand what is happening, identify the critical issues and determine what needs to change.

Can Aurentor help when a transformation has lost momentum?

Yes.
We can enter an existing transformation, assess what is holding it back and work with leadership and the organisation to restore focus, momentum and accountability.

Can Aurentor help improve business performance?

Yes.
We work with organisations to identify performance opportunities, remove barriers and implement the changes required to improve results.

Can Aurentor help during a business turnaround?

Yes.
Aurentor can support leadership through periods of significant performance pressure, helping identify the most important actions and drive them through the organisation.

Can Aurentor help a company that needs to reduce costs?

Yes.
Cost reduction can be part of a broader restructuring or transformation. Our focus is on sustainable improvements that strengthen the business rather than simply reducing costs in isolation.

How does Aurentor work with clients?

We work closely with client leadership and teams, typically through small, senior teams that stay close to the work. The aim is to combine external experience with a deep understanding of the organisation and its situation.

Does Aurentor work alongside the client or advise from the outside?

We work alongside the client. Our consultants get close to the decisions, people and challenges that determine whether change actually happens.

How senior are Aurentor’s consultants?

Aurentor is built around experienced consultants and leaders with significant experience from complex transformations, restructuring, growth and operational challenges. Clients get direct access to senior expertise rather than a large pyramid of junior consultants.

How large are Aurentor’s teams?

We deliberately work with small, senior teams.
The team is built around what the situation requires rather than around a standard consulting staffing model.

Does Aurentor work with the client’s existing teams?

Yes.
We work with the people already in the organisation and aim to strengthen their ability to deliver change, rather than creating a parallel organisation around them.

Does Aurentor work on projects or longer-term engagements?

Both.
The engagement is shaped around the client’s situation and what is required to achieve the desired outcome.

Can Aurentor bring in additional expertise?

Yes.
When a situation requires specialist knowledge beyond the core team, Aurentor can bring together the relevant expertise from its wider network.

Why choose Aurentor instead of a large management consulting firm?

Aurentor offers a different consulting model: small, senior teams with experienced people staying close to the work. Instead of building a large project organisation, we focus on bringing the right expertise and accountability to the situation.

What are the advantages of working with a smaller management consulting
firm?

A smaller firm can provide greater proximity, continuity and access to senior people. For clients, this can mean fewer layers between the problem and the people solving it — and faster movement from decision to action.

Can a smaller consulting firm deliver large-scale transformation?

Yes.
The size of the consulting firm and the scale of the transformation are not the same thing. Aurentor combines senior teams with the specialist expertise and network required for complex assignments.

What is the difference between Aurentor and a large consulting firm?

Large consulting firms offer scale, breadth and extensive resources.
Aurentor is built around seniority, proximity and focused teams — with experienced people staying close to the client and the work.

How do I change management consulting firms?

The first step is to clarify why the current relationship is no longer delivering what the organisation needs.
Aurentor can then assess the situation, understand the existing work and determine whether we can provide a better fit — including taking over an existing engagement where appropriate.

Can Aurentor take over an existing consulting engagement?

Potentially, yes.
We can step into an existing programme or engagement when a client needs a different level of seniority, execution focus, expertise or accountability.

Can Aurentor work alongside our existing consulting partner?

Yes.
We can complement another consulting firm when additional senior expertise, execution capability or specialist knowledge is needed.

Should I use a consulting firm or an independent consultant?

It depends on the situation.
An independent consultant can provide deep individual expertise and flexibility. Aurentor provides access to a senior team, complementary capabilities and a broader network while maintaining a close working relationship.

What is the difference between Aurentor and an individual consultant?

An individual consultant brings one person’s experience and perspective.
Aurentor combines experienced individuals into a team, making it possible to bring different perspectives and capabilities into the same challenge.

Why choose Aurentor instead of continuing with an independent consultant?

If the challenge has grown beyond what one person can reasonably cover, Aurentor can provide additional senior capacity and complementary expertise without moving to a large consulting organisation.

What restructuring work does Aurentor do?

We help organisations improve performance, reduce unnecessary complexity, clarify accountability and create the conditions for sustainable profitability.

Can Aurentor help with operational restructuring?

Yes.
We work across organisation, operations, processes, technology and ways of working to identify what needs to change and help implement it.

Can Aurentor help reduce IT costs?

Yes.
IT cost reduction can form part of a broader transformation or restructuring. Aurentor has experience helping organisations significantly reduce IT run rates while improving how technology supports the business.

Can Aurentor support a turnaround?

Yes.
We can work with leadership and operational teams to identify the most important performance opportunities and drive the actions required to realise them.

What kind of transformation does Aurentor work with?

We work with complex business transformations involving strategy, operating models, organisation, processes, technology and digitalisation.

Can Aurentor lead a large-scale transformation?

Yes.
We have experience leading complex transformation programmes across large
organisations and multiple parts of the business.

Can Aurentor help with digital transformation?

Yes.
We look at digital transformation as a business challenge, not simply a technology programme. The focus is on translating technology and digital opportunities into business outcomes.

Can Aurentor help if our transformation is already underway?

Yes.
We can join an existing programme, identify where progress is being lost and help leadership regain focus, momentum and accountability.

Can Aurentor help a company grow?

Yes.
We support organisations with growth strategies, new business development, expansion, new capabilities and new business models.

Can Aurentor help launch a new business?

Yes.
We can help organisations move from an opportunity or strategic ambition to a functioning business — including proposition, operating model, organisation and launch.

Can Aurentor help with expansion into new markets?

Yes.
We can support organisations entering new markets or scaling existing businesses by combining strategic direction with practical execution.

Can Aurentor help turn a strategy into a working business?

Yes.
We work across the gap between strategic intent and operational reality — helping define what needs to happen and then making it happen.

Aurentor is a senior, entrepreneurial consulting environment where people are expected to take responsibility, challenge assumptions and stay close to the work.

Who is Aurentor looking for?

We look for experienced people who are comfortable working with complex problems, senior decision-makers and situations where judgment and accountability matter.

Do I need to come from a large management consulting firm to join Aurentor?

No.
Relevant experience can come from consulting, industry, leadership roles, transformation programmes or entrepreneurship.

Can I join Aurentor from a large consulting firm?


Yes.
Aurentor can be a natural next step for experienced consultants who want more
responsibility, closer client relationships and a more entrepreneurial environment.

Can an independent consultant join Aurentor?

Potentially, yes.
For experienced independent consultants, Aurentor can offer the opportunity to combine entrepreneurial freedom and senior responsibility with a broader team, larger assignments and access to complementary expertise.

What makes Aurentor different as a place to work?

We combine the proximity and entrepreneurial character of a smaller firm with the experience, network and opportunities needed to work on significant business challenges. People are expected to contribute not only to client work, but also to building the company.

What kind of career can I build at Aurentor?

Aurentor is designed for people who want to grow through responsibility and meaningful work rather than a rigid career ladder.
You develop by taking on increasingly complex challenges, working closely with clients and contributing to the development of the firm.
