Three Ways to Work With Us.
We structure every engagement to match the scope of the challenge — not the other way around. Whether you need focused support on a single problem or a long-term partner through a multi-year growth agenda, there is a model designed for that.
CATALYST
Focused Strategy & Advisory
The right partner for a well-defined challenge.
A Catalyst engagement addresses a single, clearly scoped business problem — a market entry, a manufacturing process review, a go-to-market rebuild, or a specific M&A advisory mandate. We assign a dedicated team, deliver to a defined outcome, and hand over with a structured transition at close.
Included in Catalyst:
- Scope of Work: Single-focus mandate — one defined problem, one defined outcome
- Typical Duration: 3 – 5 months
- Analysis & Insights: Targeted diagnostic on the defined scope
- Custom Strategy: Bespoke strategy for the specific service area
- Senior partner actively engaged throughout
Available as Add-Ons (additional fee):
- Execution & Delivery: Embedded delivery team for the engagement duration
- Ongoing Support: Structured handover + post-delivery advisory retainer
Best suited for: Organizations addressing a specific, well-defined challenge or opportunity where speed and precision are the priority.
GROWTH
Multi-Phase Program
For businesses pursuing a significant step-change.
A Growth engagement is a phased program spanning up to three practice areas — typically combining commercial performance work with operational improvement, or a market expansion with a marketing build-out. A senior partner leads the program end-to-end, with delivery milestones agreed at the outset and progress reviewed at each phase gate.
Included in Growth:
- Scope of Work: Cross-functional program spanning up to 3 practice areas
- Typical Duration: 6 – 18 months
- Analysis & Insights: Comprehensive analysis across functions and target markets
- Custom Strategy: Integrated strategy across up to three practice areas
- Execution & Delivery: Senior partner-led dedicated team with phased delivery milestones
- Ongoing Support: Up to 6 months post-engagement
- Check-in Cadence: Quarterly during the support period
- Support Time Cap: Maximum 10 hours during the support period.
Best suited for: Businesses pursuing a significant growth initiative, market expansion, or operational overhaul that requires sustained senior-level engagement across multiple workstreams.
