Our flexible model is tailored to your scope, typically a monthly retainer for a set number of hours or a fixed project fee. The cost is significantly lower than a full-time senior executive salary, offering top-tier expertise at a predictable cost.
Engagements are flexible but typically run for 6 to 12 months or longer. This duration allows enough time to develop, implement, and optimize a strategy to achieve meaningful, long-term results.
There is no one-size-fits-all duration. Our engagements are designed to be flexible, but they are typically longer than a one-off consulting project. A common partnership lasts 6 to 12 months or longer, as this allows enough time to develop, implement, and optimize a strategy to achieve meaningful, long-term results. We can, however, adjust the timeline to fit your specific needs.
We aim for a seamless integration. We become a part of your team, attending relevant meetings and communicating regularly via your preferred channels (e.g., email, Slack, Teams). We act as a mentor and guide to your in-house staff, empowering them to grow their skills and take ownership of their roles, all while providing strategic oversight.
We collectively have a broad range of experience working with businesses across various industries. While we specialize in helping growing businesses unlock their potential, our expertise is highly transferable. We can adapt our strategies to fit the unique challenges and opportunities of your specific market.
Absolutely. Our model is specifically designed for growing companies that need senior strategy without the massive financial commitment of a full-time executive salary.
