I charge a day rate and any travel and accommodation required. At the start of the engagement there is a discussion about roughly how long the work will take, with frequent progress reviews once under way. I do not work on a fixed fee per project basis because it can cause issues when there are changes to scope or other unforeseen events such as a sudden lack of availability of key project resources.

Typically I will oversee the delivery of it, writing the brief and working with the business and the specialist supplier to manage the process if appropriate. The supplier bills the business directly, I do not add a mark up or handling fee.

Visible support from the relevant leader(s), availability of the necessary team members and consistent, high quality communications to build and maintain engagement and commitment.

No. A project can relate to a specific part of a growth challenge. If the initial work highlights issues in other areas of the business which need addressing, we can discuss this.

No. If I do not think I could genuinely help the business grow or the issue is outside my area of focus, such as supply chain or IT systems, I would decline the work.

The blend of having the classic consultant toolbox along with the critical insights from years in leadership positions facing the challenges of delivering results cycle after cycle, which means not only being able to quickly identify what needs to change but also how to work with people to make it happen.

Contact me and we will arrange a meeting to discuss what the business is looking for. If all goes well I draft a proposal for further discussion. If you like it we agree a contract and get going.
