Our Vision
To be the top consulting firm in Nigeria delivering distinct value to our clients while consistently redefining the consulting market space.
"It's not the strongest of species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but those that are most responsive to change."
Businesses that flounder are often headed in the wrong direction or swimming in the wrong waters. U-turns (traditionally called “turnarounds”) are frequently required before the floundering finally manifests. A u-turn is also not complete until a vehicle is safely turned to the other side of the U.
Typical client challenges and symptoms:
Outdated business model or strategy
Dwindling market share and revenues
Competition from new or substitute products or services or market entrants
Business in “sleep mode” or near comatose
Ashford & McGuire’s ValuePlus solutions:
Designing u-turn maps for generating returns ( U-turns for Returns)
An article captioned “Vanishing Legacies” (ThisDay, 24th March 2006) opened with these words:
In Nigeria, very few prosperous family-owned businesses (companies in which a family has a controlling stake) thrive beyond the first generation. Those that do, find it difficult to run professionally while making the family happy. How can such businesses prosper through generations? A business founder that plans for and manages his succession will add lasting value to the business”
These words reflect the heart of Ashford & McGuire’s corporate legacy building service. Through this innovative service, we intend to be in the forefront of building lasting corporate legacies in Nigerian enterprise.
