Services
Organised by where you are: before the first partner, after signing, when partners underperform, at a transaction, and at entry into a foreign market. Programmes deliver a working system; Focused Engagements answer one question first.

International for several markets, entry into the EU after launch, or a fund with several networks. Minimum twelve months, monthly in advance, response within one working day or the same day depending on the level.
The first conversation is without obligation and takes 45 minutes.
Within five working days we prepare a proposal for a Focused Engagement or a programme, with scope, deliverables, deadline and a fixed price. The price is fixed, by work package, and is reduced only with a proportionate reduction in scope, a longer deadline or a larger contribution by the client.
