Private strategy workshops

Everything runs through you. Are you focused on what actually matters?

For founders and owner-operators carrying the business — and the life around it — in one head. In half a day we map all of it, name what's blocking it, and agree the three things that truly matter — with a plan for the next 90 days and clarity on what can wait.

You arrive with too much in your head. You leave clear: knowing exactly what to focus on, and calm about what you've decided.

In half a day, everything you're carrying fits on one page.

01

Everything mapped. The business, the opportunities, the personal stakes — on one board, as we talk.

02

The bottleneck named. The one thing holding the rest back, said out loud.

03

The three things that truly matter. In order, with dated first moves for the next 90 days.

04

What can wait. Named and set down on purpose, so it stops costing you attention.

The two things you leave with

The board

Workshop artifact — a full situation mapped and annotated on a visual board

Your whole situation in one place, built live as we talk.

The roadmap

Three to five objectives in order, with dated first moves, what you are consciously setting down, and the patterns that came up while we worked.

Written after the workshop and in your hands within 48 hours.

Buy your way out of the cage you built.
Clarity Roadmap · Founder-engineer, profitable B2B software, a decade in
The business works. It only works through you, and it stopped being interesting a while ago. Selling, hiring, stepping back and building something new all need the same thing first, so that goes first.
01
Make it so someone else can run itHire the second engineer by week 6, paid out of the margin · scope the rebuild to one phase · introduce the two biggest clients to someone who isn't you
02
Show something to real peoplePut one small thing out publicly by end of March · talk to ten possible users before building more · find two peers and talk to them monthly
03
Put a number on enoughWrite it down with your partner in week 4 · pick the date you would walk away if nothing changes · two evenings a week that don't move
Consciously set down — revisit in JuneNew markets for the old product · rebuilding everything at once · any employed role · selling before the key-man risk is gone · saving for one more year before deciding

What comes out of it

"His ability to synthesize ideas in real-time made him a wonderful thought partner. He used Miro to turn my words into a clear visual map — it became obvious what to focus on and what to let go."
— Paul Millerd, author of The Pathless Path
Fifteen things on the go, cut down to three. The first one shipped within weeks. Independent advisor, solo practice.
Stopped the side projects and put everything into the one that mattered. Founder running several ventures at once.
A plan he'd carried for two years finally got a start date. The pilot runs in September. Entrepreneur and educator.
Replaced the CTO he'd hesitated over for months. The team was moving again within a quarter. Founder-CEO, venture-backed software.
Let go of his biggest client, who was also the worst one. Replaced the revenue in three months. Solo consultant.
Had the conversation he'd avoided for a year. Within days, everything around it shifted. Founder.
Published case study
Paul Millerd wrote about the day we worked together — what we mapped, what became obvious, and the plan he built from it.
"The best investment in my professional development I've made all year. Georg highlights things I barely remembered I said — the subtle comments that actually illuminate the true feelings."
Independent consultant, a dozen ideas in motion, unsure where to direct his energy
"Six weeks on, I return to my prioritised objectives as a way to ground myself during times of busyness and overwhelm."
Business change consultant, arrived mid-overload with client work and life priorities stacked

How it works

Most people start with a half-day strategy workshop — just the two of us, online, everything on a live board, a written roadmap in your hands within 48 hours. Some stay for a quarter or two after that, and I build alongside them: the memo, the pitch, the program, whatever the plan needs next. Others come back a year later, when the picture has changed again. We decide that once we both know what we're dealing with.

Recent roadmaps have covered
Who I work with The person who carries the decisions — their clarity, their priorities, their execution. And, when it helps, the team around them. What I don't do is organizational consulting: no culture programs, no business-unit strategy, no transformation decks.
With your team

A leadership team can be full of smart people and still pull in six directions — and AI just doubled everyone's option list without adding a single hour of focus. Same work, one room: everything mapped, the three things that actually matter agreed, and what the team is consciously not doing made explicit.

Bring this to your team
Georg Tanner

Before this I spent thirteen years at Swiss Re — in Zurich, Amsterdam and Hong Kong — working in digital transformation, corporate development and innovation. I built and ran an innovation accelerator, and did strategy work with leadership teams. Independent since 2021.

What clients come for is the combination: someone who holds the full picture without flinching — the business mechanics, the personal stakes, the things not yet said out loud — and then stays in the work until the plan is real.

Tell me what's going on.

A few lines is enough — the situation, and why now. No commitment, and no pitch coming back: if I'm not the right person, I'll tell you who is.

Prefer to talk? Book 20 minutes — no pitch, and if it's not a fit I'll say so.
