SoftbouldersConsulting

A firm with considerable inertia.

Making mountains out of billable molehills.

You have a problem. We have a framework for extending it into the next financial year.*

Consulting services that won't rock your world.
That would require a change order.

Corporate philosophyOur “Rock Solid” Approach

Why move the boulder when you can invoice the obstacle?

The Boulder Paradigm

Most consultants treat problems like mountains to be conquered. We treat them like boulders: something you can climb over, go around, or just wait for erosion to do its thing. Patience is a virtue, and so is not working too hard.

The Moss Growth Model

Like moss on a rock, our strategies grow organically over time. Sure, it might take a few years to see results, but have you seen how pretty moss is? Much nicer than those aggressive “disruptive” strategies everyone else is pushing.

Please do not disturb the moss. It is leading the transformation.

Professional servicesServices
(Not as Hard as They Look)

Strategic Pebble Placement

We'll help you arrange your small problems so they look intentional and artsy.

Like Zen garden rocks, but with more spreadsheets.

Sedimentary Team Building

Layers upon layers of mediocre teamwork that eventually form something vaguely useful.

Like limestone, but with more awkward icebreakers.

Igneous Innovation

Hot new ideas that will cool into something rigid and unmovable.

Like lava, but with more PowerPoint slides.

Our “Rock Bottom” pricing package isn't actually our cheapest option. That would be too obvious.*
