Principles
& Principal

Sauvignon Blanc is a principal-run and principles-led consultancy.  
We work strictly within the following principles and values.

Real world thinking 

We don't dwell on theory. Instead, we bring our considerable experience to your situation and make practical recommendations that you can act upon.  Our experienced principal consultant lives in the real world.

Honest and transparent

We will always be honest with you. That honesty includes being realistic about what can be achieved and telling you frankly what's working - and what isn't. 

This is not land and expand 

We get you started, or fix your problems. We don't sell you things you don't need.  Once you have the plan in place, it's over to you: we'll leave you our number...

Tailored 

There is no playbook. Every brand has different ambitions and context.  We won't sell you "the standard package" or do what everyone else does. Your solution will be bespoke. 

Confidential

Our intervention will be entirely confidential.  We do not even publish client-organisation names.  

Clean thinking 

"Simple can be harder than complex. You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end, because once you get there you can move mountains." 
Steve Jobs.
