04 — How we work
Small teams. Short loops. Real decisions.
I
Partners do the work
The people you meet in the pitch are the people in your workshops. We cap ourselves at six clients at a time so that stays true.
II
Weeks, not quarters
Most engagements run six to twelve weeks. Short loops force clear choices and keep momentum on your side.
III
We leave you stronger
Every engagement ends with your team running the plan without us. Coaching and handover are part of the fee, not an extra.
“They asked better questions in two weeks than we had managed in two years. The plan we left with is the one we still run the business on.”
Mara Lindqvist
Chief Executive, Harlow Freight
