Ways to Engage

Engagements

Engagements may be ongoing or time-bound, depending on the nature and scope of the work.

The approach

Purpose defines the format

Each engagement is shaped around the objective, participants and circumstances, rather than a predetermined format.

Selected Engagements

Institutional Advisory Relationships

For financial institutions, family offices, corporations and selected organisations.

Ongoing advisory relationships developed around the institution's context and priorities. Rather than beginning with a predetermined programme, the relationship can draw on different areas of Opufinite's work as circumstances require.

  • Built around the institution's particular context and priorities
  • Provides continuity beyond an individual intervention or event
  • Can draw on several areas of Opufinite's work within one relationship
Typical situations
An organisation wants independent perspective available across a period of change or heightened responsibility.
A financial institution wants to deepen selected client relationships through private conversations, gatherings or advisory access.
A company wants continuity around a leadership team rather than a single intervention.
A family office wants an external resource available across matters beyond the mandate of existing advisers.
An institution wants selected clients or leaders to have access to independent perspective when appropriate.
An institution wants a longer-term relationship rather than commissioning individual engagements separately.
Selected Engagements

Leadership Offsites

For executives, founders, boards and senior leadership teams.

  • Protected time outside the normal operating rhythm
  • Built around a clearly defined situation or objective
  • Substantive discussion around real leadership and strategic issues

For corporations, institutions, family offices and organisations.
