Strategic Clarity: A Structured Method for More Effective Business Advising

Business advisors around the world face common challenges effectively meeting diverse clients needs and supporting them to success. In response, the Interreg NPA–funded Target Circular project, led by Dr. Niall O’Leary, Head of the Hincks Centre for Entrepreneurship Excellence, leveraged new research to develop the Strategic Clarity method and handbook.  Piloted with more than 100 business advisors and SMEs across four countries, it integrates three methods each independently shown to significantly improve entrepreneurial outcomes.  Combined for the first time into one practical advisory process in Strategic Clarity,  these methods strengthen existing advisory practice and improve client success. The concise, 9-page advisor handbook for exploiting these new research insights is available now. Advisors, trainers, and policymakers keen to improve entrepreneurial and SME success using evidenced based methodologies are invited to read and share the handbook.
