Every project ends. The Kindred Programme keeps the advisory relationship going after it does.
Ongoing advisory access. Quarterly reviews. A partner who knows the business well enough to give a straight answer without a discovery process.
Our Philosophy
The most useful advisory relationships are built over time — not project by project.
The Kindred Programme is the structure that makes that kind of relationship possible.
Programme Benefits
Always-on access
Direct access to Shaun Roberts for strategic questions, significant decisions, and the kind of thinking-out-loud discussions that are difficult to have internally. Available throughout the year — not only during formal review sessions.
What this means in practice
A major decision is approaching and you want an objective perspective before committing. An unexpected challenge arises mid-year. A discussion with a stakeholder that you'd benefit from thinking through with someone who knows the business. Kindred makes this kind of access available — not just during scheduled sessions.
Four times per year
Structured quarterly sessions that review business performance, assess what has shifted, surface emerging challenges, and plan the next cycle of improvement. The accountability structure that keeps improvement from eroding.
Performance review · Challenge identification · Forward planning
Once per year
A comprehensive review covering operational performance, commercial effectiveness, and strategic direction. A structured baseline for the year ahead, tracking progress from the prior year.
Operational · Commercial · Strategic · Progress tracking
Ongoing
Guidance for ongoing improvement initiatives between formal reviews. Momentum doesn't always align with a schedule — this ensures support is available when it's actually needed.
Between sessions · Improvement initiatives · Challenge support
When you need it
Priority access to ArchWay, ArchView, and Bespoke Consulting services throughout the year — ensuring availability when specific project support is needed alongside the ongoing partnership.
ArchWay · ArchView · Bespoke · Priority scheduling
Kindred members receive access to BizKit resources as they become available — enabling ongoing internal capability development alongside the partnership, so the organisation builds independent strength in parallel with external support.
Includes access to
Toolkits · Assessment workbooks · Templates & registers · Implementation playbooks · Governance packs · Training resources
Areas Of Support
Operational — supply chain, inventory, process improvement, governance.
Commercial — strategy, sales management, pricing, market positioning.
Strategic — business planning, decisions, leadership advisory.
Why Organisations Join
The hardest thing for any leader is maintaining an objective view of their own business while running it.
Kindred provides that external perspective — from someone who knows the business, without being inside it.
Membership is tailored to the organisation.
