Working together

A clear boundary

What a leadership
mandate includes.

Four days monthly means 32 hours of my involvement, including meetings, preparation, review, and asynchronous work.

Executive partnership

A regular working cadence with your sponsor, defined decision rights, and clear priorities across the functions involved.

Delivery oversight

Coordination with your team and implementation partners, vendor evaluation, review of progress, and resolution of dependencies.

Operating discipline

Measures agreed before deployment, appropriate human review and controls, adoption ownership, and a monthly results review.

Commercial clarity

Know what you’re
committing to.

What is the scope of the $3,500 assessment?

One defined business area, approximately three to five working days of analysis and meetings delivered over two to three weeks. We confirm the workflows, stakeholders, inputs, and deliverables before beginning. Larger or multi-business-unit assessments receive a separate quote.

Is the assessment fee credited against a retainer?

The assessment is a standalone engagement with its own deliverables. Ongoing leadership is priced separately, so you can make the next decision on its merits.

What happens after the first 90 days?

We review outcomes and the remaining need. We can continue with a revised mandate, reduce the cadence, or prepare a handover. Renewal terms are agreed in the engagement letter.

Who builds and maintains the systems?

Your internal team, an existing supplier, or a separately agreed delivery team. Build and maintenance responsibilities, fees, acceptance criteria, and support arrangements are documented before implementation.

Can you work with our current CTO or IT provider?

Yes. The mandate is designed around the capability already in place. I work with the people responsible for your systems and the business owners responsible for the process.

What if AI is not the right answer?

The assessment can recommend simpler automation, process changes, a data prerequisite, or no investment. Those are useful outcomes when they prevent spending on the wrong problem.

A useful first conversation

Let’s define the
right engagement.

Bring one business problem. We’ll discuss the opportunity, what stands in the way, and whether I can help.
