Four Steps Success

Success requires planning, monitoring, and measuring progress, whether it is a small or large change. Our team uses a simple but effective approach to ensure that valuable resources in terms of time and money are not wasted. While the steps may vary depending on the client’s needs, the basic model remains the same.

1

Initial Consultation

In this step, we start with an onsite meeting with all relevant parties to understand the current situation, determine the objectives, and establish the consultancy parameters. Our team will prepare a brief based on the meeting, outlining the agreed-upon objectives. This brief will be shared with the client typically within 7 days of the meeting.

3

Achieving the Objectives

Once the plan, objectives and resources are agreed and allocated, we work with you and your team, meeting regularly ensuring the objectives are achieved. Initially, meeting at minimum weekly and reverting to monthly as the project progresses and goals are realised. This ensures that the project is driven towards reaching a successful outcome. The duration of each project will be reviewed throughout each project with any changes confirmed as the project progresses.

2

Planning

Once the objectives have been established, we move forward with a plan to achieve them. We prepare a simple contract outlining the obligations of all parties, objectives, fees, and timelines. Once signed, our team will develop a plan to ensure the objectives are met within a specified timeline. This may be a detailed Business Plan or a plan to achieve the objectives.

4

Achieved Success

Once the objectives are achieved, a final review is conducted, and the contract is concluded, success is yours.

 

Fees for Service

The fees are fixed where possible providing transparency to the client. The variable fees depend on the size of the project and are set at the Contract phase.
