Signature Services

Momentum Sprint

A 4-week boost to regain clarity and forward motion on critical initiatives.

Momentum Sprint

A 4-week boost to regain clarity and forward motion on critical initiatives.

When internal priorities pile up and capacity is stretched thin, even essential work can slow down. You know you need help, but also that recruiting and onboarding takes more time and energy, than just doing it yourself. And while the temptation to push through alone is strong, it’s rarely sustainable.

You need help, but only if it helps more than it burdens, and only until you and your team regain balance and momentum.

The Momentum Sprint is a short, focused engagement designed to bring traction and structure to one priority that’s at risk of stalling — without adding pressure to an already stretched individual or team.

I embed temporarily into your organization to understand what the situation, complications and implications are. After we define the most important questions and the answers start to emerge, I help shape the way forward and move things into action – often with hands-on support that relieves key team members and creates space to breathe. It’s fast, collaborative, and designed to deliver immediate clarity and relief.

This is also how we get to know each other. For some clients, this becomes the first step toward a longer-term partnership. For others, it’s all the help they needed to get back up and running.

What we might work on
  • A project portfolio, project, or internal process that has lost momentum due to lack of time, resources, shifting priorities, or unresolved complexity
  • A strategy that needs to be clarified, reconnected to current priorities, or implemented with concrete actions
  • A complex or unclear customer or employee needs, where input from multiple sources needs to be synthesized into insight, priorities, recommendations and decisions

What you get
  • Validation — or a revised understanding — of the situation at hand
  • Focus and structure for your most important initiative
  • Actionable insight, advice, and hands-on help for next steps
  • Written materials or outputs to support alignment or execution
  • A fast-track experience of what working together looks and feels like

Time & Format
  • 4 weeks
  • 3-5 days/week
  • On-site and/or remote blend tailored to context


No long-term commitment required. If you get what you need — or if it’s not a fit — we stop there.

In-House Execution Support

Strategic project support for when progress slows and the team is already stretched.

After a successful Momentum Sprint, some organizations choose to continue working together on a longer-term basis. In this model, I act as a short-term, embedded strategic operator, offering senior-level support on the priorities that matter most.

This isn’t consulting in a traditional sense. I step in to work side-by-side with your team: shaping priorities, connecting dots across departments, clearing bottlenecks, and synthetisizing the thinking others can’t quite put into words.

I use all the knowledge and ways of working that I have accumulated both from traditional large corporations and agile IT consulting firms. This means it’s not just about what I deliver fast and precise, but how we work towards it together: collaboratively, building on eachothers skills and capabilities, and working in a way that makes the workday more enjoyable.

What I typically support 
Translating strategy into conrete action, e.g.
  • Reprioritizing strategic project portfolios
  • Rephasing and clarifying roadmaps
  • Supporting goal setting and follow-up on every level (e.g. OKR’s)

Restructuring or supporting internal projects with hands-on help: e.g.
  • Facilitating collaboration, decision-making, and advice processes
  • Redesigning or updating internal processes and policies 
  • Turning qualitative data into actionable insights and recommendations
  • Clarifying internal communications

What you get
  • Relief – for yourself and your team
  • The momentum back to your key projects
  • Actionable insights and advice, alongside hands-on execution
  • A high-trust senior operator who integrates and adapts to your style and systems fast

Time & Format
  • 1.5–2.5 days/week after a Momentum sprint
  • Usually 3–6 months
  • Flexible on-site/remote blend

Strategy Update Facilitation

Support and structure for organizations doing strategy work in-house, grounded in established strategy frameworks and adapted to your needs.

This approach works well for small and midsize companies, startups, and nonprofits. In large organizations, it’s often used to support sub-strategies – for example business unit, product, marketing, or employee experience strategies.

If you don’t have someone leading your strategy work internally, this service can be combined with the Embedded Operator model – giving you support across planning, facilitation, and execution.

Some organizations don’t need a heavy, six-figure strategy overhaul. They simply need space, structure, and pace to revisit, align, and adjust the strategy they already have.

In a rapidly changing world, where market dynamics shift overnight, customer needs evolve quickly, and new regulation adds complexity, strategy work can no longer be a once-every-three-years event. This service is designed for CEOs, leadership teams, and internal strategists who are carving out time for this work, but want a trusted external partner to bring clarity and momentum – without taking over.

I begin with a current state and needs assessment to clarify what kind of strategic work is truly needed. Then, I adapt a tested workshop series to your context, coaching and facilitating as needed throughout the journey. The process is designed to help your team move forward together: uncovering internal insight, defining the external research still needed, and aligning your team around the most essential strategic choices.

The framework is grounded in Playing to Win, but fully adapted to your reality. If helpful, I also offer a complementary OKR workshop track to support implementation, helping connect your strategy to shared focus, team goals, and execution rhythms.

This service is not about off-the-shelf frameworks or heavy slide decks. It’s about using your team’s existing insight – and having the right conversations at the right time – so strategy becomes a tool, not a forgotten slide deck.

What we might work on
  • Revisiting your current strategic choices (e.g. winning aspiration, where to play, how to win) and assessing whether they still serve your context
  • Structuring strategy work that fits the realities of your organization’s size, decision-making culture, and pace
  • Designing and facilitating collaborative strategy workshops, from discovery to decision
  • Supporting the translation of strategy into shared focus and meaningful OKRs
  • Coaching CEOs and leadership teams through ambiguity, decision paralysis, or fatigue in their strategic work

What you get
  • A structured and paced approach to updating your strategy – without overwhelming your team
  • Clarity on what kind of strategy work is needed right now (and what can wait)
  • Expert facilitation grounded in Playing to Win, customized to your organizational context
  • Optional OKR facilitation to support implementation
  • Written outputs that reflect the strategic thinking and support further alignment

Time & Format
  • Typically 2–3 months
  • 4-8 days/month
  • Workshops, interviews, and joint working sessions on-site
  • Preparation, assessments, synthesis, and coaching remote or hybrid

CSRD Transition Support

Change and project management, communication, goal setting, action planning, and substance expertise on social sustainability at an expertise driven organization.
European Union's corporate sustainability regulation is changing in a significant way. The old Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) has been replaced with Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). This means that sustainability reporting is raising into equally important and transparent position as financial reporting over time and that sustainability will be reported alongside the financial statement every year.

In the upcoming years 40 000 more companies that operate in EU will report on sustainability. In Finland this means about 2000 companies that are new to sustainability reporting. First of them will have to start data collection already on 1.1.2025 and publish their first report with that data in 2026.

The transition for many companies will have to happen very fast and with high endurance for uncertainties and fast paced decision making. According to a study by FIBS ry,  at the moment only 1 in 10 Finnish companies that will be required to transition to this reporting have sufficient resources allocated to do so. Enzalgu provides support for select companies who need to enforce their internal team to lead these fast paced transition projects and the stakeholder management it requires with employees, management, clients and sustainability service providers.

Starting out with CSRD transition?

Checklist on how to organize around transitioning to CSRD compliant reporting if your company is new to broader sustainability reporting:

Organize internally

  • Name one leader in the board of directors responsible for sustainability reporting and the transformation project. Best practise currently is the Chief of Sustainability, or if there isn’t one, the Chief Financial Officer, since most of the upcoming new reporting is financial.
  • Put in place a transition team that has expertise (E, S and G + Legal) and allocated time (25-50 % allocation) to build up the process and practises inhouse with stakeholders and external experts. If you don’t have internal resources available, consider using external experts in internal roles to secure the transition and build understanding on what type of internal resources are needed in the future.

Get external expertise

While the authority for alignment and decision-making remains yours, having a partner significantly eases the process, workload, and schedule. Procure an established external ESG consultant company to help you do at least the following in compliance:
  • Value chain and double materiality assessment (arvoketjut ja kaksoisolennaisuuskartoitus) to understand what aspects, risks, dependencies and impact evaluations or parts of the value chain are relevant.
  • First version of the sustainability program, its objectives and measurements (this can be connected to your business strategy and combine existing strategies and measures)
  • Forming an operating model around leading sustainability in your organization and creating next steps for setting practices and tools for data collection and reporting.

Procure data tools and an assurance partner

  • Procure a data partner that has a solution for data collection and reporting that fits your needs and is CSRD and ESRS compliant.
  • Procure an assurance partner to get independent assurance and verification of compliance with reporting standards.
Do these two procurements parallel to ensure data compatibility. Test and learn with actual data.
