Our approach
Four stages. Each ends with something you can decide on, and each can be the last one you buy.
Decide: Write the decision down.
One sentence for the decision, one name for the owner, one date. This takes a week, sometimes less. If you cannot write it, we help you find it.
Ends with A decision statement, agreed by the sponsor
Understand: Collect only the facts that change the choice.
We use what you hold and a handful of conversations. For each fact we ask whether the choice would change if it were different. If not, we skip it.
Ends with A fact base of a few pages
Choose: Set out options with what each gives up.
Two or three options. Each with its cost, its risks and what it makes harder. A session with the full team to choose.
Ends with A chosen option and the reasons
Hand over: Leave your team able to run it.
A plan with owners and dates, a weekly rhythm and a review at 30, 60 and 90 days. We step back as your people step forward.
Ends with A plan your team owns
What we will not do
- Write a report longer than it needs to be.
- Recommend something we have not tested against your numbers.
- Take work we think someone else would do better.
- Name a client without their written agreement. This concept has none.
