At a glance: what we do

Interim - Fractional - Leadership - Execution

We’ve been in the business for 30+ years and take pride in sharing the experience we’ve acquired.


We provide high-level business and strategy expertise, interim management, hands-on mentoring and delivery of digital products & software solutions. 


We embed ourselves in your company to help form a sound strategy and to execute it.  So often strategies fail to help employees make better decisions or improve morale.  Rarely do strategies help to guide and govern the crucial discussions and agreements that get made hundreds of times a day in your business.


We make strategies and visionary leadership effective.

Unlock Potential & Increase Performance

Want a high-impact but low-level engagement? Our advisory services range from as little as an hour a week with Scott Potter to NED (Non-executive Director) expertise.  And we are flexible.  We can guide you through the creation of your technology strategy.


 Advisors:

Feel supported, be better prepared and more able to take on your job's challenges with our experienced, practical and friendly advisors.  We cover a wide range of specialisms covering all aspects of Business Agility, Revenue Growth and Business Resilience.


 Coaching:


Be a better you. We offer your employees Executive Coaching and Performance Coaching from our EMCC accredited Coaching Practitioner.

Increase Competence & Teamwork

We provide custom training and workshops to target exactly what your organisation needs.


Our approach to training is a little different.  We take a fresh approach, based on science, to increase people's knowledge and their ability to apply it in the workplace.  We help form new habits as well as a deeper understanding of why so-called 'good practice' may or may not be the best fit for your situation.


The purpose of our training is to improve business performance.  We do this by improving both the performance and wellbeing of individuals and teams.


Our training is ideal for all businesses and industry sectors, not just in the Technology or Digital space.

  • Who We Are

    We are Value Flow Solutions.  We focus on continually increasing the flow of real value through, and to,  your business...even during times of disruption. 


    We are a London based, technology & business optimisation consultancy specialising in increasing Business Agility & Resilience, working with clients across the UK, Europe and North America.


    All of our team are highly experienced and are experts within their field.

    What differentiates us from other consultancies is that we make a big impact with a small footprint... just a few expert consultants, not your usual army of contractors and consultants.  We achieve more, with less.


    We are the creators of the highly effective and much loved H.O.W Analysis Technique, the Competitive Business Agility Framework and the Personal Agility Toolkit.

  • Our Purpose

    We have a very clear purpose that drives us.

    But what does this mean? 

    As a member of the C-suite or Senior team, you might see it as:

    Improving your cashflow, getting to market quicker, targeting customers better and making a bigger impact.


    Others may see it as:

    Reaching the right users, better learning what they need and giving it to them, or even using data to make informed decisions to surpass your competitors.


    You may also feel a better sense of wellbeing and contentment as your efforts are more effective and your ideas better understood.


    Our Advisory & Coaching supports you as an individual.  We offer pure performance coaching from our  qualified and accredited coaches.  We also offer a carefully blended mix of performance coaching with mentoring and advisory expertise.


    So what does this actually mean?

    We support and guide individuals, maximising their performance and their wellbeing.


    As well as providing hands-on experts, we also offer training tailered to your needs, targetting the key areas which need a boost. 


    With over 30 years experience, you're in safe hands.

  • The Silver Bullet

    There is no silver bullet but having capable and motivated Product & Engineering teams, that are working in an environment conducive to enabling high performance, working towards coordinated and complimenting goals means that you are much more likely to build the right digital product and enhancements at the right cost to boost your company's profits.  This is what we make happen.


    For technology companies, the key enabler for this is having the right data & technical platform, from automation, architecture & monitoring through to hosting and infrastructure.  It's not enough to rely on ambition, culture or exceptional process.  There is a way to speed up AND reduce the amount of business liabilities that lurk in your technology estate, whether it's in the form of technical debt, security risks or the ongoing cost of ownership.


    On this site you can find out more about what we do and what we can offer you. If in doubt, don't hesitate to drop us a message.


    Whatever your needs...


    We have broad & deep expertise in Software Engineering, Solution Design, Agile Adoption, DevOps, Lean Product Management, Business Strategy and helping you realise the benefits that they can provide when implemented and embedded correctly for your particular needs, organisation and culture.  There are many pit-falls on these journeys, many of which are not apparent until some time later, when they are difficult to rectify.  We can help you avoid these problems before they happen.
