Our Methodology

How Each Engagement Is Structured

Every service follows the same general sequence: an initial scoping conversation to confirm fit, a written agreement setting out scope and fee, a fieldwork phase, internal review, and final delivery. The client has a clear view of each stage before the work begins.

The written deliverable is specific to the client company — not a template populated with details, but a document drafted from scratch based on what was observed or discussed. This takes longer to produce but results in something that is actually useful.

Scoping First

No work begins without a clear understanding of the engagement on both sides.

Written Agreement

Scope, deliverable, timeline, and fee are documented and signed before fieldwork starts.

Careful Fieldwork

Interviews and observations are conducted without rushing to conclusions in advance.

Reviewed Deliverable

All written outputs are internally reviewed before being shared with the client.

Service 01

Strategy Refresh for Family-Run Firms

A focused engagement for family-held companies considering how the next generation of leadership should be prepared. The work covers a written assessment of the current operating arrangement, a set of conversations with each family member involved in the business, and a draft of a transition plan.

This engagement is suited to family businesses that have not previously documented how leadership and ownership should pass, and where the conversation between family members has not yet been structured. It is not a legal document — it is a starting point for those conversations, informed by an independent reading of the situation.

What Is Included

  • Written assessment of the current ownership and management arrangement
  • Individual interviews with each family member in the business
  • Draft transition plan with commentary on key decision points
  • Closing session to present findings and discuss the document

Process Steps

1

Introductory call to confirm suitability and agree scope

2

Review of any existing governance documents provided by the client

3

Individual interviews with each family member (typically 45–60 min each)

4

Drafting of assessment and transition plan document

5

Internal review and delivery with closing walkthrough

Strategy Refresh for Family-Run Firms

Typical Timeline

3–5 weeks from first interview to delivery

Best Suited For

Family businesses with 2–15 family members involved, where succession has not been formally addressed

Decision Architecture Review

Typical Timeline

2–3 weeks from kick-off to report delivery

Best Suited For

Companies that feel decisions are slow, duplicated, or unclear in ownership — and want to understand why before attempting to fix it

Service 02

Decision Architecture Review

A study of how a company makes recurring decisions: which body owns which kinds of choices, how proposals are prepared, how disagreements are surfaced, and where decisions get recorded. The consultant interviews staff at multiple levels and produces a short report with observations.

The value here is not in recommending a particular governance model, but in producing an accurate description of how decisions actually happen — which often differs from how leadership believes they happen. The report typically surfaces specific friction points that the company can then address.

What Is Included

  • Staff interviews across multiple levels (typically 6–10 people)
  • Review of any existing decision-making documentation
  • Short written report mapping decision types, owners, and observed gaps
  • Closing session with leadership to present findings

Process Steps

1

Scoping conversation and identification of interview subjects

2

Individual interviews conducted over 1–2 days on-site

3

Analysis and mapping of decision flows as described

4

Drafting of observation report

5

Delivery and closing discussion with leadership team

Service 03

Quarterly Planning Facilitation

Independent facilitation for a leadership team's quarterly planning meeting. The work includes a pre-read template, a one-day or half-day session, and a written summary of decisions, owners, and open questions.

Most leadership teams run quarterly planning meetings without an external facilitator. The meeting often drifts: topics expand, decisions are not recorded clearly, and the same unresolved questions return next quarter. This service provides structure for the session and a clear written record of what was agreed.

What Is Included

  • Pre-read template distributed to participants in advance
  • One-day or half-day on-site facilitated session
  • Written summary: decisions, owners, timelines, open questions
  • Brief debrief with the team lead after session

Process Steps

1

Pre-session call with team lead to understand priorities and context

2

Pre-read template sent to all participants one week before session

3

On-site facilitation of the planning session

4

Written summary prepared and delivered within 2 business days

Quarterly Planning Facilitation

Typical Timeline

One week prep + session day + 2 days for summary

Best Suited For

Leadership teams of 3–10 people who want more structure and output from their regular planning cycles
