The whole strategy lifecycle.

Most firms stop at the plan. We cover every phase, so strategy keeps moving after the workshop ends.

  1. Research

    Industry, market and competitor analysis to inform decisions.

  2. Formulation

    Design and plan the strategy, working back from the outcome.

  3. Implementation

    Choose the framework, assess structure, map the risks.

  4. Execution

    KPIs and OKRs, a quarterly rhythm, reporting and problem solving.

  5. Operations

    Change management, training and building in-house capability.

Identity verification, AML/CTF and regtech partnerships delivered on a fractional model.

From one day a week to a live partnership engine

Personr needed more than a partnerships plan in a slide deck. It needed someone to build the strategy and then go and execute it. Blue Delta started as fractional Head of Partnerships one day a week, enough to map the opportunity and prove the value of a dedicated function.

Early wins changed how the business saw partnerships. Within the first week the scope doubled to two days a week, and the work moved quickly from planning to signed partners and a referral channel into AML/CTF-regulated businesses.
