Engagement model

A clear way to begin

Most engagements begin with a defined discovery or assessment rather than an open-ended consulting commitment. The result is a clear understanding of the organization’s priorities, followed by the level of support that best fits its needs.

  1. 01

    Introductory conversation

    A focused conversation about the organization, its technology environment, current concerns, upcoming decisions, and whether the engagement is a strong fit.

    • Typical format: 20–30 minutes
    • No consulting work begins during this call
  2. 02

    Defined assessment or discovery

    A fixed-scope review of relevant systems, risks, stakeholders, vendors, documentation, or workflows.

    • Typical structure: approximately two to four weeks, depending on scope
    • Possible output: executive findings, risk priorities, roadmap, budget considerations, and recommended next steps
  3. 03

    Decision and roadmap

    Leadership receives clear recommendations explaining:

    • What should happen now
    • What should happen next
    • What can wait
    • Likely organizational effort
    • Important dependencies
    • Where specialist support may be needed
  4. 04

    Optional continued support

    The client may implement independently or retain the practice for:

    • Fractional technology leadership
    • Project and vendor oversight
    • Defined implementation advisory
    • Recurring strategy reviews
    • Workflow modernization
    • Additional assessments or workshops

Fixed-Scope Assessment

Best for organizations needing an independent view of current risks, priorities, and investments.

Defined Consulting Project

Best for a specific modernization, workflow, documentation, vendor-selection, governance, or planning initiative.

Ongoing Advisory

Best for organizations needing recurring executive-level technology guidance without immediately hiring a full-time CIO or CTO.

Clear scope before work begins

Engagements are scoped according to organizational size, complexity, number of locations, systems involved, and the depth of analysis required. A written scope and fee are provided before work begins.

Fixed-scope assessments are priced as projects rather than open-ended hourly engagements.
