The Forás Advantage.

Forás Consulting was founded on a simple observation: most certified practitioners apply their framework exactly as licensed — useful, but generic, without evidence specific to how scaling actually happens in a given market or sector.

​

Forás starts differently.

​

Founder Odhrán McIntaggart holds a PhD in Business & Management and is an Adjunct Professor at IE Business School, with a research focus on the strategic capabilities that help digital firms scale internationally and the role venture capital investors play in that process. Alongside his growthsprint. certification, that primary research — built on direct interviews with C-level management, VC investors and scaling experts, not desk research — sits underneath every engagement.

​

Using a structured 11-zone diagnostic canvas, an AI co-coach, and a 90-day execution tracker, Forás helps:

​

• Scaleup leadership teams diagnose the specific failure mode putting their growth at risk — before it costs them a funding round.

• Accelerator programmes translate cohort progress into funder-legible impact evidence, built from a framework informed by what investors actually look for.

• VC investors get standardised visibility into how growth is actually being executed across the portfolio — using the same 90-day tracker founders work from, not self-reported updates — giving an early read on execution risk before it surfaces in a funding round.

​

Odhrán's background spans academic research, enterprise business analysis (including the NHS App and UK Department for Transport), and performance marketing across Berlin, London and the Netherlands — giving Forás both the research credibility and the operational fluency to move from diagnosis to execution.
