# The Wisdom Partnership
The Wisdom Partnership is a London-based management consultancy specialising in the education technology sector. They work exclusively with EdTech businesses of all stages—from early-stage startups to established scale-ups—helping them navigate growth, restructuring and market expansion.
Founded by Stuart Abrahams and Steve Baines, the firm brings over 80 years of combined EdTech expertise, with both founders having held board-level positions at global organisations, restarts and high-growth ventures. This depth of experience means they understand the unique complexities of selling to schools, colleges, federations and local authorities—a market characterised by lengthy procurement cycles, complex stakeholder relationships and demanding compliance requirements.
Rather than offering generic consulting, The Wisdom Partnership provides bespoke, hands-on support across five core disciplines: management and operations, sales and customer success, marketing, product development, and finance. They differentiate themselves through an unwavering focus on execution, not just strategy. Their approach is flexible—clients can engage them for strategic planning alone or leverage their support throughout implementation. This scalability is enhanced by an extensive network of trusted affiliates, allowing them to flex resources up or down depending on demand.
The firm positions itself as an on-demand management resource for high-growth EdTech businesses, providing the senior leadership insight and tactical expertise that scaling organisations typically lack internally. Their empirical, results-driven methodology and deep sector knowledge make them particularly valuable to EdTech founders navigating the complexity of UK education procurement.
