Why strategic advisory?

In a time defined by uncertainty and rapid change, many leaders face complex decisions that reach far beyond day-to-day operations. Through our network of senior advisors and the broader Novare ecosystem, we provide perspectives that combine extensive leadership experience with a deep understanding of context, strategy, and business. Working with a Novare advisor means:

  • Access to expert knowledge that strengthens and accelerates decision-making
  • Time optimisation – immediate access to experience and competence that takes years to build internally
  • External perspectives from seasoned leaders, often crucial in solving complex challenges
  • Support in risk management in a world few – if any – can navigate alone

Tailored to every assignment

Every advisory engagement within Novare Advisory begins with the client’s unique context. We start by listening – to understand the situation and define the purpose and goals of the assignment. Our advisory approach is grounded in close collaboration and dialogue, where the advisor contributes insights and recommendations not available inside the organisation. Our ambition is to enable clients to make and act on well-considered and executable decisions.

We act first and foremost from our experience as leaders, and second as carriers of deep expertise in selected fields. We do not claim to be the ultimate experts or implementers – we see ourselves as enablers.
