Pentacle focuses on coordinating change in all non core business activities of its favourite customers (Small & Medium Businesses with 15 to 75 employees where the business owner still is the General Manager).

Around the core business, there are lots of activites such as Finance, Legal, HR, Technology & Marcom that are difficult to tackle by business owners.

Pentacle is built around a partnership model with a number of highly specialized freelance partners, all of them being orchestrated by one project manager at Pentacle.

Pentacle is very effective in Change Management and is not meant to deal with the day to day operational aspects of a business.
