Approach

Stay past the recommendation

The brief is not the product. The product is a rhythm the company can run when we are not in the room.

What the first meeting is

The engagement

Three parts, every time

You keep the decisions

We will not become a substitute management team.

  • You name an owner
  • We name the partner

The work happens between meetings

Preparation, the written rhythm, and the follow-through.

  • A week is a unit
  • A slide is not

One partner answers

If the chapter slips, you know who to call.

  • No relay of junior teams

How it starts

The first chapter

  1. First conversation
    01

    First conversation

    Forty-five minutes. We will say if we are the wrong firm.

  2. The working brief
    02

    The working brief

    What we heard, the constraint, and what we will not take on.

  3. A scoped start
    03

    A scoped start

    One chapter, priced, with the names of who will be in the room.

  4. The first 30 days
    04

    The first 30 days

    Interviews and a visible rhythm. Not a reveal at the end.

  5. Retainer or handover
    05

    Retainer or handover

    Stay as an operating partner, or leave a system the team runs.
