Firehills unlocks growth and value by seeing the world differently

Firehills is a strategy consulting firm built for a world defined by complexity, interdependence and constant change. We bring a fresh perspective to help leaders unlock growth and value by revealing opportunities that traditional consultancies miss.

Our strength lies in combining strategy, organisational design and leadership around a deeper understanding of how your world really works, so that you’re more capable and committed to your future.

Our delivery model is fast, rigorous, and cost-effective: combining expert-led delivery with advanced technology and analytics, giving you results in weeks, not months.

Why we exist

The Firehills team has over fifty years’ experience helping leaders make strategic choices.

What we’ve learned over that time is that the traditional ways of thinking about organisations don’t reflect reality. The world is complex and messy - most business and planning tools miss crucial parts of the puzzle because they can’t engage with that messiness.

Two things have changed.

1. Artificial Intelligence can expose the structures and dynamics of our world in ways that were practically impossible even two or three years ago. That lets us see the world differently.

2. There are new ways of thinking about organisations, markets and the whole economy that make complexity intelligible. That lets us understand the world differently.

Firehills has been built to bring these things together from the start, providing a unique combination of insight and technology that lets leaders make decisions that unlock real growth and value.
