How We Work Together

We start by understanding your needs and figuring out whether we can improve your organization.  If we don’t truly think we can, we’ll let you know.  If we believe we can help you, we will define a list of clear goals based on your specific needs, and we will do this together. Once the qualitative and quantitative objectives have been agreed on, we will provide you with a proposal.  Our proposals are fee-based, not hourly based, to ensure we are aligned on the outcomes expected and you know what your ROI will be, upfront.
