Fees and scope.Common questions.
What is the difference between the Workshop, the Diagnostic and the Deep Dive?
The Workshop (one day, £2,500) gives your leadership team a shared view of priorities and a recommendation on what to do next. The Diagnostic (one week, £6,000) goes deeper on one or two priority areas. The Deep Dive (two weeks, £12,500) covers the whole business or several functions, and adds an operating-model outline and a board-ready 90-day mobilisation plan.
Does the Workshop fee count towards later work?
Yes. If you book a Diagnostic or Deep Dive within 60 days of the Workshop, its £2,500 fee is credited in full against it.
Do I have to book the free call first?
No, but most people do. It is a quick way to check fit and agree whether a Workshop, Diagnostic or Deep Dive is the right next step, with no fee attached.
Why are the later engagements quoted rather than priced?
Because their scope depends on what the earlier work finds. Operating Model and Transformation Design is a fixed fee agreed once the scope is clear. Implementation support, leadership, training and advisory are quoted after a scoping conversation. Nothing starts before the fee is agreed.
Can we start with training or a build?
Yes, if the problem and the expected value are already clear. Both are built around your own priorities. If leadership still needs to decide where to focus, the free call, the Workshop or the Diagnostic come first.
Do you take payment by results?
No. Fees are fixed or quoted in advance. We also do not provide recruitment, extra staffing or open-ended functional cover: fractional and interim work is for a fixed term and a fixed outcome.
What do you need from us?
An executive sponsor, access to evidence and people, a budget, and a willingness to change how the business operates. All of that is confirmed in scoping, before any fee. An NDA is standard before you share anything substantive.
