Senior experience, applied where it matters

The Batch Collective is an independent consultancy founded and led by me, Tom Batchelor.

I work with established businesses, start-ups, investors and leadership teams on strategy, transformation, growth, operations and emerging technology - particularly across media, entertainment, content and localisation.

My role varies. Sometimes I advise. Sometimes I investigate. Sometimes I build the strategy, operating model or team. Often, I identify the real problem before working with the business to solve it.

Where I can help

The strategy is not yet clear
The opportunity is real, but the positioning, priorities or route to market need sharpening.

Growth has exposed operational gaps
Structures, processes and responsibilities have not kept pace with the business.

A new market or proposition needs validating
Leadership needs an experienced, independent view before committing time and capital.

Technology is changing the business model
AI or automation creates opportunity, risk and difficult strategic choices.

Clients are not experiencing the business as intended
Internal assumptions, behaviours and service delivery have become disconnected from client reality.

The leadership team needs senior capacity
An important programme needs someone who can quickly understand the context and move it forward.
