At Adrian Cowderoy Consulting Ltd we introduce intelligence-led methods to the workplace for benign purposes that give competitive advantage.

System change as standard

We support our clients from exploration, through as-is assessment, experiments, strategy review, development, roll-out, and then we return to help with reviews and planning the next steps.

The company goes beyond process and technology change. We believe a sticky and organic change needs to be based on a view of the complete system.

  1. Develop the individuals who will have key roles within the system.
  2. Optimise how different elements of the system work together.
  3. Improve overall efficiency, to maximise outcomes and benefits.

Inspirations from fiction

A unique aspect of Adrian’s approach is the insight he brings from writing espionage thrillers. He studied the secret intelligence profession to create a “fictional world” that mimics modern intelligence practices. In building it, he imagined himself as an intelligence professional who’d moved into industry and refused to “spy” on anyone. He discovered possibilities that nobody had thought of.

Researching a highly secretive profession presents challenges. The methods of modern intelligence are well published in academic texts, but to understand how it fits together, and the human pain it causes, you have to live it – either within a fictional world, or the real one.

As well as Adrian’s complete novel (currently awaiting publication) he has 27 short stories freely available (see all here), each illustrating a different point.
