In their own words
"We did a Direction Session in March when things felt stuck. I expected something prescriptive — a list of fixes. What I got instead was a conversation that helped me understand why we were stuck. The one-page plan was simple but it actually held together. Three months on, we are in a noticeably different place."

"I had worked with two other consultants before Bacatá. Both produced large documents I mostly did not use. Camilo and Lucía work differently — they write less and ask more. The Foundations Review gave us a roadmap we actually referred back to in every leadership meeting for six months. The facilitated session with our team was worth the engagement on its own."

"The Quarterly Companion suited us because we did not need something intensive — we needed a thinking partner. Andrés was steady and practical throughout. The shared document became a useful internal artifact even after the engagement ended. I would recommend Bacatá to any owner who wants an outside view without the overhead of a large project."

"What I value most about the Direction Session is the written summary. Not because it contained anything I did not already sense — but because seeing it written down by someone outside the business made it feel real. It helped me have a conversation with my co-founder that we had been avoiding."

"I was a bit sceptical of advisory services — I had heard too many stories of consultants who produced plans nobody could act on. Bacatá is different. Three priorities. Clear language. No jargon. The follow-up call two weeks later was also genuinely useful; it is rare to find advisors who stay in contact after the work is technically done."

Owner, light manufacturing · Bogotá

"We engaged Bacatá for a Foundations Review when we were considering expanding into a second city. The process was thorough — they read everything, spoke with five of our key people, and produced a roadmap that honestly surprised me with how clearly it described our situation. The presentation session brought our leadership team to a shared understanding we had not had before."

Case Studies
Three client journeys
Direction Session — Finding the priority beneath the noise
The Situation
A Bogotá-based distribution firm with twelve employees had been experiencing flat revenue for two consecutive quarters. The owner felt pulled in multiple directions and was unsure whether the problem was operational, strategic, or a people issue.
What We Did
In a half-day session, we mapped the revenue flow, identified three customers representing 60% of income, and surfaced a pricing structure that had not been reviewed in four years. The one-page plan focused on a single pricing correction and one customer relationship that needed direct attention.
What Followed
Within eight weeks of the session, the owner had revised the pricing structure and renegotiated terms with the key customer. Revenue in the following quarter rose 14% over the previous one. The owner later described the session as "the most useful four hours I have spent on the business in two years."
Quarterly Companion — Navigating a difficult internal change
The Situation
A professional services firm in Medellín was moving from a founder-led model to a team-led one. The managing director was uncertain how to delegate without creating confusion, and the senior team was unsure of the new expectations.
What We Did
Over three months, we worked with the managing director monthly to clarify roles, identify where delegation was stalling, and draft simple decision frameworks for the senior team. Between sessions, email support helped the director navigate specific moments of friction as they arose.
What Followed
By the end of the three months, the managing director had successfully handed responsibility for three core service lines to senior staff. The shared document tracking decisions became the team's informal operating guide. The director described the engagement as "what I needed to stop managing and start leading."
Foundations Review — Preparing for a new stage
The Situation
An established services group in Bogotá with 35 employees was considering opening a second location in Cali. The leadership team had different views on timing, investment level, and operational model. They needed a clear, shared picture of where the business stood before committing.
What We Did
Over four weeks, we reviewed three years of financial records, operational documentation, and customer data. We interviewed five members of the leadership team and three frontline staff. The roadmap addressed the expansion question directly, with a prioritized set of conditions to meet before proceeding.
What Followed
The facilitated presentation aligned the leadership team on a phased approach to expansion. They decided to delay the Cali opening by one quarter to address a key operational issue first. The general manager noted: "We would have gone ahead without this review and walked into something we were not ready for."
