The Vision

What The Vision does

The Vision is a UK-registered business development consulting firm (operating under Interactive Rights Management Ltd, UK company number 5176134) that delivers structured advisory sessions called "Project Boards" to growth-stage companies and enterprise teams. Each Project Board pairs a client with three diverse experts and a trained external chair, yielding a concrete action matrix rather than a traditional advisory report, with supplementary follow-on engagements in the form of "Deep Dive Sprints" (execution support) and "Power to Action" (executive mentoring). The firm's differentiator is a proprietary cognitive profiling methodology co-developed with psychologists at Surrey Business School, used to engineer a 33% "sweet spot" of genuinely different thinking styles in each board; this methodology draws on a curated pool of 50+ world-class practitioners sourced globally.

The business is positioned as a professional services firm rather than a software platform, with revenue generated per challenge scoped through discovery conversations under multi-year contract structures across three core revenue streams: the Project Board, Deep Dive Sprints, and Power to Action mentoring. The go-to-market is sales-led and relies on case studies, testimonials, referrals, and a multi-channel content motion (LinkedIn newsletter "The Lens," the "Expertise Unlocked" podcast on Spotify and YouTube, blog articles, and a gated "Data-Backed Leadership Reality Check" report). Adjacent productised assets include the "Leadership Accelerator" practitioner-led executive development program and "Pickle," an AI coaching chatbot built on Anthropic's Claude API under an enterprise data-processing agreement with 18-month retention controls.

The Vision serves clients across FinTech, Gaming, AdTech, Legal, HealthTech, and EdTech, with named case-study customers that include 7 of D Ltd, Voilo Ltd, and Round Midnight LTD. The firm was founded in 2021 by Megan Goodwin (Managing Director), Valérie Bozzetto (Co-Founder), and David Gosen (Non-Executive Director, former MD of Nintendo Europe), and operates from a registered office in Leigh-on-Sea with global virtual delivery.

Core offering

Follow-on services include Deep Dive Sprints for execution support, Power to Action executive mentoring, and the Leadership Accelerator practitioner-led executive development program.

Product overview

The Vision is a consulting and advisory services company that operates as a unified offering rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. Its primary services are advisory boards delivered as 'Project Boards' (three diverse experts plus a chair in structured sessions yielding an action matrix), supplemented by 'Deep Dive Sprints' for execution support and 'Power to Action' for executive mentoring. Supporting offerings include the Leadership Accelerator (practitioner-led executive development), the Leadership Report (data-backed leadership research publication), and the Expertise Unlocked Podcast (expert discussion content). The company also embeds an AI coaching chatbot called 'Pickle' (built on Anthropic's Claude API) within its service delivery. The Vision's pool of 50+ world-class practitioners is selected using a proprietary psychometric tool co-developed with Surrey Business School to maximize cognitive diversity for each client challenge.

Direct peers

• Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO): EO operates peer-learning forums and learning programs for founders of growth-stage businesses, including forums, mentorships, and accelerator-style experiences. It competes with The Vision for the same growth-stage founder buyer using cohort-based peer insight.
• Vistage: Vistage runs facilitated peer advisory boards for CEOs and senior leaders, with monthly chair-led group sessions and one-to-one executive coaching. It is the most direct large-scale analogue to The Vision's Project Boards model.
• Young Presidents' Organization (YPO): YPO provides peer forums, workshops, and leadership development for CEOs running businesses above a revenue threshold. Comparable as a peer-advisory/leadership-development offering targeted at growth-stage and enterprise leaders.
• Sounding Board: Sounding Board is a tech-enabled leadership coaching marketplace pairing executives with matched coaches. Overlaps with The Vision's Power to Action executive mentoring stream and Pickle AI coaching chatbot.
• The Academy for Chief Executives: A UK-based peer advisory chair network for SME and mid-market CEOs running monthly board-style groups. Directly comparable to The Vision as a domestic UK peer advisory business with a chair-led group format.

Broad incumbents

• Center for Creative Leadership (CCL): CCL is a large global leadership development institution offering executive programs, assessments, and coaching. Overlaps with The Vision's Leadership Accelerator and Power to Action streams but at much larger scale and brand.
• Korn Ferry: Korn Ferry is a global organizational consulting firm offering executive coaching, leadership development, and talent strategy. Comparable to The Vision on the leadership development and assessment adjacency, though operating at significantly larger scale.
• ExecOnline: ExecOnline partners with business schools to deliver cohort-based executive education programs to enterprise teams. Comparable to The Vision's Leadership Accelerator as a structured leadership-development offering for enterprise buyers.

Emerging players

• OnDeck: OnDeck runs curated peer communities and leadership programs for tech operators and early-stage founders. Comparable in serving growth-stage operators with structured peer insight and leadership content, though more community-led than chair-facilitated.
• The Chemistry Group: The Chemistry Group is a UK-based consultancy applying cognitive diversity science to team performance and board effectiveness. Highly comparable in explicitly combining cognitive-style measurement with advisory engagements.
