Strategy built like fine architecture.
Draven & Oak partners with ambitious leadership teams to turn complexity into clear, executable strategy — engineered with the discipline of a master workshop and the precision of a boardroom.
A workshop for serious strategy.
We founded Draven & Oak on a simple belief: the best strategy is made, not pitched. Like craftsmen at a bench, we work close to the material of your business — the numbers, the teams, the markets — and shape decisions that hold up under pressure.
"We don't hand over slide decks. We hand over momentum that outlasts the engagement."
Senior practitioners only
Every engagement is led by consultants with 12+ years in operating and advisory roles — no hand-offs to juniors.
Evidence over opinion
Recommendations are grounded in your data and validated against market reality before they reach your board.
Built to be executed
We design strategy with your operating constraints in mind, so the plan survives contact with reality.
Consulting services, precisely scoped.
Six disciplines, one integrated practice. We bring them together around the problem that matters most to you right now.

What leadership teams tell us.
"They cut through eighteen months of internal debate in three weeks. The plan was clear, the numbers were sound, and our board approved it without a single revision."
"What set Draven & Oak apart was that senior people did the work, start to finish. No bait-and-switch. The operating model they designed is still serving us two years on."
"Calm, rigorous and refreshingly honest. They told us what we needed to hear, then stayed to help us deliver it. Easily the best advisory partner we've worked with."
Questions, answered.
If your question isn't here, a short call usually clears it up. We never bill for a scoping conversation.
Ask us directly →Most engagements begin within two to three weeks of a signed proposal. We hold a limited number of slots each quarter to keep every engagement senior-led, so earlier conversations give you more scheduling flexibility.
Both. Our Compass and Keystone packages are sized for growing and mid-market businesses, while Cornerstone suits larger organisations needing embedded support. We'll always recommend the lightest engagement that solves your problem.
The figures on this page are published starting prices for each package. After a complimentary scoping call we send a written proposal with the exact fixed fee and scope. You approve it before any chargeable work begins — there are no hidden hourly charges.
Yes. Every engagement is led and delivered by practitioners with at least twelve years of operating and advisory experience. We do not hand core work to junior analysts.
You keep everything we build — models, plans and materials. For Keystone and Cornerstone clients we include a transition so your team can carry the work forward, and we're available for follow-up sessions if needed.
No responsible firm can guarantee business outcomes, as results depend on execution and market conditions outside our control. What we guarantee is the quality and rigour of our work, and a clear, defined deliverable. Our Refund Policy explains how we handle this.
