CLARITY WHEN DECISIONS MATTER

Helping organisations and individuals build commercial acumen and confidence

SEQUORA ACADEMY deploys commercial and procurement talent to meet immediate needs, with accelerated development and flexible pathways to hire.

SEQUORA GUARDIAN offers embedded commercial and risk oversight across bids, contracts, delivery, and enterprise value events.

Some organisational commercial problems are well understood, but structurally hard to solve alone.

Commercial challenges are rarely invisible.

Most organisations are aware of where capability, risk and value exposure sit, but addressing them properly often competes with more immediate delivery pressures.

By “commercial”, we mean the disciplines that govern how organisations create, protect and realise value, from procurement and contracting through to bids, sales, delivery and risk management.

In larger organisations, these challenges typically show up around capacity and development.

Recruitment is often reactive, focused on filling gaps as they appear. Capability development is recognised as important but struggles to compete with day-to-day delivery demands. Line management and support sit alongside already full workloads, limiting the time and structure needed for accelerated growth.

As a result, development becomes a “do just enough” activity. This is not through lack of intent, but because sustained focus is hard to maintain at scale.

In smaller and scaling organisations, the challenge is different.

Critical commercial, contractual and risk responsibilities are often absorbed by senior leaders alongside other priorities. Holding the full breadth and depth of capability required, across different risks, levels of experience and moments of need, rarely makes sense as a permanent overhead.

Important work is managed as best it can be, deferred when it feels disproportionate, or addressed only when issues surface, even where the potential impact is significant.

In smaller and scaling organisations, the challenge is different.

Important work is managed as best it can be, deferred because it feels too complex or time-consuming relative to immediate pressure, or addressed only when issues surface, even where the potential impact is significant.

Sequora exists to take responsibility for these problems. This is not because organisations lack capability, but because focus, time and economic logic make them difficult to solve internally.

Two focused responses to different organisational realities

Sequora addresses these challenges in two distinct ways, each designed around the economic and operational realities organisations face.

Some need capacity and capability, delivered with focus and structure.

Others need breadth, depth and continuity of commercial and risk oversight, without carrying it as permanent overhead.

SEQUORA ACADEMY

Deploys commercial and procurement capability, built for both immediate impact and long-term strength.

Sequora Academy is a resourcing model designed for organisations that need capable people in role now, but know that sustainable capability cannot be built through reactive hiring alone.

We deploy commercially focused talent into live environments, supported by structured development, close management and deliberate investment in accelerated growth. This allows organisations to meet immediate delivery needs, while building deeper capability over time, without adding to already stretched internal workloads.

For public sector organisations, Sequora Academy is accredited and accessible through Public Sector Resourcing (PSR) RTD framework.

Best suited to organisations that:

Want faster development than traditional academy or graduate models provide.

Rely on external resourcing to fill commercial or procurement gaps.

Recognise capability as strategic, and retention is valuable, but lack the time to build it internally.

SEQUORA GUARDIAN

Offers embedded commercial and risk oversight, protecting and enhancing enterprise value.

Sequora Guardian provides access to experienced commercial, contractual and risk capability across the value lifecycle, from bids and sales through to contracts, delivery, investment and exit.

Rather than holding this breadth and depth as permanent overhead, organisations can draw on Sequora Guardian as needed, ensuring important work is handled properly, consistently and with appropriate senior oversight.

Guardian protects against short-term issues that can create long-term exposure, and against low-likelihood, high-impact risks that can materially affect enterprise value.

Best suited to organisations that:

Delegate important commercial or risk responsibilities alongside other roles

Are founder-led, scaling, or acquisitive

Want to protect value through growth, investment or divestment events

Explore Guardian

Most organisations need one of these. Others benefit from both. In all cases, Sequora exists to take responsibility for the work that is known, important, and difficult to sustain internally.

Built for organisations that prefer foresight to hindsight

Sequora works with organisations at different stages, often before pressure makes options narrower, whether that pressure shows up as delivery risk, stalled capability or exposure when circumstances change.

Some challenges are visible early. Others only surface when growth accelerates, scrutiny increases, or value is tested. Sequora exists to help organisations act while there is still time, choice and control.

Large and complex organisations

Where delivery pressure crowds out capability-building.

Sequora works with large public sector bodies and corporates that depend on external resourcing to maintain commercial and procurement capacity.

These organisations typically:

Operate with persistent demand for capability

Rely on reactive recruitment to fill gaps

Recognise the importance of development, but struggle to sustain focus alongside delivery

Sequora Academy provides deployed capability now, while creating the structure, support and continuity required to prevent capability gaps becoming entrenched over time.

Individuals building commercial careers

Where learning on the job is not enough.

Sequora also supports individuals who want to develop strong commercial careers in live environments.

These individuals typically:

Want responsibility early, with proper support

Value structure, coaching and exposure over theory

Are motivated by long-term progression, not short-term placement

Sequora Academy provides an environment where development is deliberate, supported and taken seriously.

Founder-led, scaling and acquisitive organisations

Where responsibility sits with a few people and the consequences of failure are far greater than the rewards of success.

Sequora supports SMEs where senior leaders hold significant commercial, contractual and risk responsibility alongside other priorities.

These organisations often:

Manage bids, contracts and delivery across a small leadership team

Face uneven demand for specialist experience

Are preparing for growth, investment or exit, sometimes sooner than expected

Sequora Guardian provides experienced oversight without the cost or rigidity of permanent overhead, helping organisations protect and enhance enterprise value before it is tested.

Across each of these contexts, Sequora helps organisations address important commercial challenges while there is still time to act, not after consequences are already locked in.

Trusted where outcomes matter

Sequora is built by practitioners with experience across complex, regulated and high-pressure environments, where commercial decisions are scrutinised, risks are real, and outcomes endure.

Our work is designed to stand up to audit, transaction and challenge.

We focus on ownership, continuity and judgement, not short-term intervention or generic advisory.

Sequora is intended to complement teams, taking responsibility for work that is important, material and difficult to sustain internally, while strengthening your capability rather than creating dependency.

Work with our team to build capability that lasts.
