Business Consulting Services at Praxis360

Running a business leaves little room to step back, assess performance, and think strategically about business strategy. Praxis360 helps create that space, supporting leaders through fractional leadership to understand what drives performance today, define where they need to go next, and turn strategy into practical, achievable action. 

Our work blends commercial insight, operational excellence, and clear execution pathways so leaders can move forward with confidence. 

How we can help:

Doing more with less is the new operational reality in today's business strategy. Achieving operational excellence is about simplifying work processes, leveraging technology wisely, and enhancing execution so both customers and frontline teams enjoy smoother, more reliable service.

Delivering projects successfully is essential for long-term business performance and aligns with an effective business strategy. Yet, day-to-day operational pressures often stretch teams, dilute focus, slow progress, and weaken the benefits those projects are meant to create. This is where operational excellence comes into play.

Praxis360 brings structure, momentum, and disciplined delivery through project management, helping organisations deliver the work that matters with clear accountability and measurable impact.

Importantly, we recognise through our experience that teams must continue to run the business while delivering projects, which requires a balance often provided by fractional leadership.

Our delivery discipline considers both aspects, working with leaders to balance day-to-day operational demands with project scope, timelines, and cost, ensuring progress is achievable without overwhelming the organisation.

How we can help:

- Project and program delivery, planning, sequencing, risk & execution management

- PMO setup, governance cadence, reporting standards & stakeholder rhythms

- Risk, RAID, dependency & issue management

- Business case development, benefits modelling, tracking & realisation

- Project recovery and reset, scope clarification & delivery stabilisation

- Portfolio alignment & prioritisation

- Change management, communications, engagement, training & adoption

- Hands-on coaching to uplift internal delivery and change capability, including supply chain support.

Praxis360 offers fractional executive services for organisations that don’t require full-time strategy, project management, or executive office capability, but recognise the value of structured leadership support and disciplined follow-through in achieving operational excellence.  

We provide immediate, flexible senior capability to help CEOs, COOs, and leadership teams clarify their business strategy, make better decisions, and maintain momentum on the work that matters most.  

Praxis360 acts as a trusted extension of the executive team, sharpening focus, aligning priorities, and ensuring the organisation moves in one direction.  

How we can help:

Fractional leadership gives you immediate access to senior capability and ensures the organisation keeps moving while you recruit, restructure, or scale.

 Some challenges do not fit neatly into standard roles, programs or delivery structures. They are complex, time-critical or high-risk, and often arise when leadership capacity is already stretched.

Praxis360 supports organisations through complex initiatives that have already been successfully delivered in large, multi-site and high-pressure environments. This service is designed for situations where judgement, sequencing and execution matter, and where leaders want support from someone who has already navigated the complexity, trade-offs and realities of delivery.

Why Praxis360?

Leaders engage Praxis360 not for theory or templates, but for practical support shaped by real delivery experience.

Aaron has led and delivered complex special projects across operations, supply chain, manufacturing and digital environments, often under tight timelines, competing priorities and significant delivery risk. 

That experience enables Praxis360 to anticipate challenges, avoid common pitfalls and focus effort where it creates the greatest impact.

Real Experience

• Acquisition and integration of company operations

How We Add Value

Because these projects have been delivered before, Praxis360 is able to:

• Support leaders with clear decision options and trade-offs
• Maintain momentum without overwhelming the organisation
• Transition work back to internal teams with confidence
   

Support may include short-term or fractional leadership where continuity, authority or focus is required to see the work through.
