Elastic business

An ‘elastic’ business is one that is agile, ready to adapt to external change, and able to find opportunity where others may only see problems.

About Us

Corpus was founded to fill a gap, to deliver strategy and transformation work through a more flexible business model, so that clients get more for their investment, without compromising on quality.

Whatever uncertainty you’re facing or anticipating, Corpus takes a holistic problem-solving approach to your strategy and transformation needs – ultimately creating a more ‘elastic’ business that can tackle issues while also seizing new opportunities.

“

The Corpus team were able to plant themselves seamlessly into a transformation project that was already underway. They were able to move at speed and cut through the general detail and the politics to focus on specific action points which could provide the most efficient and effective outcomes for our business. The team provided a fresh view on many areas of focus. Their communication throughout the process was notable. I would recommend Corpus to any business and indeed will use them again.”
