Good to know before we talk.
Most of our clients have between 50 and 1,000 employees — large enough to have complex operations, small enough that change can happen quickly.
We agree a fixed fee for each phase after a free scoping call, so you always know the cost before work begins. There are no open-ended day rates.
Both. Every engagement includes hands-on support through rollout. We measure success by results in your business, not by the report.
Discovery usually begins within two to three weeks of an agreed proposal.
