Got a Jellyfish Problem?

You know something in your business isn't working. You're just not quite sure what needs fixing.

Bring me the problem. We'll work out the solution.

Sound familiar?

Is this a Jellyfish Problem?

A Jellyfish Problem is a messy business problem that doesn't fit neatly into one box. Is it marketing? Operations? Systems? People? Often, it's a bit of everything.

“We need another person.”

StephMaybe. Or could we remove half the work first?

“We need a new system.”

StephMaybe. Or do we need to simplify the process before we automate it?

“We need better marketing.”

StephMaybe. Or is the real problem that your offer isn't clear?

“Everyone is ridiculously busy.”

StephOkay. Let's look at what everyone's actually doing.

“This process takes forever.”

StephShow me. There may be a much simpler way.

“We know something needs to change. We just don't know what.”

Perfect. That's a Jellyfish Problem.

How Jellyfish works

Not just advice. Help getting it sorted.

  1. 01

    Bring me the problem

    You don't need to know the solution. Tell me what's frustrating you, slowing you down or simply not working.

  2. 02

    I'll get curious

    I'll talk to the right people, look at how things actually work and ask the questions that uncover what's really going on.

  3. 03

    We'll simplify it

    I'll identify the friction, challenge assumptions and recommend a practical way forward.

  4. 04

    We'll get it sorted

    Depending on what you need, I can help implement the solution rather than handing you a report and disappearing.

Understand → Question → Simplify → Solve → Implement

The Jellyfish focus

Grow & Simplify

The two ways a Jellyfish Problem usually gets better.

Grow

Create more opportunity.

  • Customers
  • Marketing
  • Offers
  • Customer experience
  • Revenue
  • Business direction

Simplify

Make work easier.

  • Processes
  • Systems
  • Technology
  • AI & automation
  • Information
  • Ways of working

Often the best opportunities do both.

For example, a simpler customer enquiry process can save time and help convert more customers.
