Executive Advisory
The partner you call to consult before you make an important decision.
Ongoing advisory for a senior leader carrying hard calls, where AI belongs in your organization included. Monthly access to INSTAR consultants for the company's leaders and the PMO head.
For C-suite, founders and function heads who make the calls and have no one to test them with. Often it is chosen after implementation or alongside PMO as a Service, so the leader has a sounding board once the system is running.
Same capability. Different accountability.
Adapt programs build skills and competencies within a defined timeframe. They are for managers and teams who want training and practice.
Executive Advisory is not a project. It is an ongoing partnership with INSTAR, a retainer that gives you direct access to an INSTAR principal consultant as a strategic thinking partner. Not a coach. Not a trainer. A practitioner.
For leaders who need a thinking partner for the most complex parts
- →VPs and managing directors of organizations (100+ people) navigating AI transformation or significant organizational change
- →COOs who are accountable for execution but don't have a strategic thinking partner at their level
- →PMO directors heading a transformation portfolio who need a senior sounding board
- →Directors of organisations working with donor funding or large programmes, holding accountability to a funder alongside developing the organisation
- →Business owners who are building management capability in their organizations and want expert guidance alongside the process
Three engagement formats within one partnership
Monthly strategic sessions
Each session focuses on one or two specific decisions, challenges, or initiatives you are navigating. We prepare beforehand, work through it together, and you leave with clarity on what to do next. Not a check-in, a working session.
Advisory on transformation projects
When your organization is running a significant transformation, AI adoption, PMO redesign, organizational restructuring, InStar advises the leader steering it. We review progress, identify risks early, challenge assumptions, and ensure the management layer holds up under delivery pressure.
On-call consultation
Between sessions, you can reach out when a decision can't wait until the next scheduled meeting. A call, a message, a working document reviewed and returned with direct input. The kind of support that most consultants charge a project fee for.
