built business and cost models to simulate the results of technology steps
road-mapped the product development

Executive coaching and mentoring
We have Level-7 qualified coaches and mentors who deliver executive and leadership guidance to help individuals and teams to succeed with their businesses.
Steve Watts was a business mentor on the Government’s Help-to-Grow Management programme with Nottingham University Business School. He took 23 leaders and their businesses through the programme and saw significant advances in market strategy, product focus, digitalisation, organisation structure and financing at the end of each 12 week block.
At CambridgeIQ we coach and mentor ‘with empathy’. As well as a traditional psychology approach, we can also use our business and technology expertise to really understand (empathise) with an individual’s day-to-day challenges - we have been there!
We can switch between guiding with coaching, advising with mentoring and implementing a solution, whichever is most comfortable for you.
