Why This Approach Works
Holistic transformation: Addresses people, process, data, and technology together. Partial solutions don't work at scale.
Business-led, not technology-led: Starts with your growth strategy and works backwards to capabilities needed.
Team reality check: Organisations don't transform overnight. I design for your current team while planning for future state.
Governance without bureaucracy: Just enough governance to enable growth, not slow it down.
Executable roadmap: Not consulting theatre. Detailed enough for your team and partners to execute immediately.
Investment grade: Board and investor-ready business case with clear ROI and risk mitigation.
What Makes This Different From Big 4 Consulting
- Speed: 10-14 weeks vs. 6-12 months
- Cost: $95-130K vs. $500K-2M+
- Experience: You get me (25 years experience), not junior consultants
- Practical: Implementation-ready deliverables, not theoretical frameworks
- Independent: No vendor partnerships or implementation upsell
- Objective: Questionnaire-based analysis, not political facilitation
Investment
Fee: $95,000 - $130,000 (depends on organisation size and complexity)
Timeline: 10-14 weeks from kickoff to final presentation
Payment: 40% at start, 30% at midpoint, 30% at delivery
What's included: Everything. All discovery, analysis, design, documentation, presentations, and up to 5 rounds of refinement.
What's not included: Implementation execution (but I'll introduce vetted partners and can provide oversight if needed)
ROI consideration: Typical clients save substantially more than the consulting fee by avoiding wrong platform decisions or failed implementations.
