Over the last decade, I’ve worked with more than 1,000 teams, from high-growth startups at Imperial College London to global brands like Google and American Express.

My content on the Business Model Canvas has reached over 325,000 views on YouTube, helping leaders worldwide rethink how they create, deliver, and capture value.

Time and time again, I see the same situation.
Talented teams working hard.
But on the wrong things.

Why?

Because the plan isn’t clear.

It’s buried in slide decks.
It lives in the leader's head.
The team can’t see it or follow it.

When that happens, they loses focus, waste energy and miss the biggest opportunities.

I believe strategy works best when it’s inclusive.

The most successful leaders don’t try to have all the answers. They make sure their whole team can see the big picture and they encourage everyone to contribute their best ideas.

That’s why I use visual tools like the Business Model Canvas.

They make strategy simple, visual and actionable for everybody. They turn passive team members into active co-creators of the future. That way, your team is truly with you and committed to the same future you are. When that happens, you're ready to do the best work of your life.

Leaders bring me in when:
→ Growth has slowed down 
→ The old playbook no longer works 
→ Teams are pulling in different directions
→ People are busy, but not getting results
→ A big launch or change is coming (it's high risk)
→ There’s no proof customers will buy the next idea

I was personally trained by Alex Osterwalder.
He's the creator of the Business Model Canvas.
It's a visual strategy tool trusted by millions globally.

"I enjoy working with Nick. I'm confident you will too."
– Alex Osterwalder, Founder & CEO, Strategyzer

Where do we start?

It’s called The Business Model Power Hour.

In 60 minutes, we will:

→ Map your business on one page
→ Identify what’s working and what’s not
→ Decide what to prioritise for the next 90 days
→ Create a plan your team can see and follow

Clients often tell me it’s the most valuable hour they’ve ever spent on their business.

Most then move on to do a 12-Week Sprint.

This is where we:

→ Stress-test your business model
→ Adapt to what customers want now
→ Build evidence for your big decisions
→ Align culture with strategy

By the end, you’ll have a plan that works in today’s market and a team ready to deliver it.

Venture Builder & Ecosystem Developer

HealthTech Scotland

The Scottish healthcare transformation and the creation of new high-growth companies will power a Scottish economic revolution. High-growth start-ups and scale-ups are significantly more productive than the everyday economy and are highly absorptive of skilled labour and radiate innovation to their customers and supply chains – driving job creation and wage growth (plus, tax revenues) beyond the walls of their own businesses. Scotland is at a key inflection point in which fundamentally new business models will arise and flourish; the pace of innovation and the need for inclusivity is accelerating, particularly across the areas of Diagnostics, AI, Data Science; with the potential for unprecedented impact for good across the Scottish economy and patients wellbeing; with healthcare providers, the NHS, industry, clinicians, entrepreneurs, academia AND investors all collaborating.

The goal is for Scotland to be recognised as a "Global Centre for HealthTech Entrepreneurship" where the patient experience is at the centre with the latest healthtech innovation solving many of the global healthcare challenges.
