SERVICES · ADVISORY
Some product decisions are too important to make without a second opinion.
SkillsJewels gives leadership teams, boards and investors senior product counsel on the decisions that set direction for years: strategy, organisation design, major investments and the people who lead them.
Independent
Advice that isn't tied to selling you a build, a platform or a larger engagement.
Senior
Experienced product leadership in the room, not a junior team working from a template.
Flexible
Retained monthly counsel, or a single scoped piece of work.
When you need this
A board or investor needs an independent view of a product organisation's strategy, team or delivery before a funding or acquisition decision.
A CEO or new product leader wants someone outside the organisation to test their thinking before they commit to it.
A major decision (a platform rebuild, a restructure, a senior hire) needs to be made well, and made once.
How the engagement runs
Frame. Agree the question, who needs the answer, and by when.
02Review. Read the material, talk to the people involved, and look at the product and how it's built.
03Advise. Give a clear recommendation with the reasoning and the risks, in writing and in the room.
04Follow through. Stay on as counsel while the decision is carried out, on a retained basis if useful.
Book a 30-minute scoping conversation
We'll take one decision or one question, agree what a useful answer looks like, and show you how we'd get there.
