Zoom Riddle is an independent management consultancy firm for growing organisations in London, across the UK and internationally. We advise leadership teams on governance and decision rights, organisational design and strategy execution, online and scoped to the question, with no delivery team to sell.
An independent management consultancy firm for growing organisations in London, the UK and worldwide: governance, structure and strategy execution.
Leadership teams usually start looking for a management consultancy firm after something specific has stopped working: decisions slow down, a strategy is read differently by each team, or growth adds people and complexity faster than the structure that was built for a smaller organisation.
Choosing a firm is a decision about independence as much as expertise. A firm that also sells software, outsourcing or a large delivery team has a reason to find a problem its own offer can fix. An independent firm has only the question to answer.
Zoom Riddle is deliberately small and independent. The work is a diagnosis, a design the leadership team can act on and advice on what to change first, written for the people who will carry it out.
Zoom Riddle’s advisory is offered worldwide. Our in-house methodology is designed to be applied to any organisation, wherever it is based, and engagements are run online.
Four areas where leadership teams most often ask an independent management consultancy firm for help.
Who decides what, how quickly, and where decisions stall.
Whether structure, roles and management layers still fit the size and stage of the organisation.
Whether the strategy is understood the same way at every level, and what happens between the plan and the work.
Whether the leadership team shares one view of priorities and acts on it consistently.

Evidence-led reading for leadership teams.
It gives a leadership team an outside view of a defined organisational problem and advice on what to do about it. At Zoom Riddle that means diagnosing where governance, structure or strategy execution is under strain, designing what should change and advising on sequencing and ownership.
Look for independence, published thinking you can judge for yourself, clarity about scope, and a willingness to say when advice is not needed. Ask what a first piece of work would deliver and how you would know it had worked.
An independent firm has no software, outsourcing or delivery team to sell, so the advice is not shaped by what the firm needs to fill. The trade-off is scale: Zoom Riddle advises on the question and leaves delivery to the people who own the change.
Yes. Zoom Riddle’s advisory is offered worldwide, and London is one of four markets where Zoom Riddle expects to establish an office in future, alongside Zurich, Dubai and Singapore. The work is delivered online, so UK organisations can be advised wherever they are based.
Zoom Riddle scopes work to the question, so cost depends on what has to be answered and there is no standard price. A first conversation is the way to define the question and the scope.
Yes. Zoom Riddle’s advisory is offered worldwide, and our in-house methodology is designed to be applied to any organisation, wherever it is based. Engagements are run online, based on documents, data and structured conversations with the leadership team. London, Zurich, Dubai and Singapore are the four markets where Zoom Riddle expects to establish offices in future; they are not limits on who we work with. Any company is welcome to get in touch.
A clear description of the question, what has been tried and what evidence exists. The aim is to agree whether independent advice would help and, if so, what a first piece of work would deliver. Services can be delivered remotely, and we accept requests from organisations wherever they are located.
The emphasis is on diagnosis, design and advice for the leadership team that owns the change, rather than on supplying a delivery team. Implementation stays with the people who will live with the result.
