How This Works

30-Minute Conversation: No Obligation, No Sales Pitch

This isn't a discovery call where I qualify you for services. It's a genuine conversation between two professionals exploring whether working together makes sense.

What we'll discuss:
  The specific challenge keeping you up at night
  What success would look like for your situation
  Whether my approach fits your needs
  What working together might involve

After our conversation, you'll have:
 Immediate insight into your situation (even if we don't work together)
  Clear sense of whether my approach fits your needs
  No pressure to commit to anything


What Happens Next

Understanding the process reduces uncertainty. Here's exactly what to expect:


Initial Conversation

Timeline: Within 48 hours of contact Duration: 30 minutes Format: Phone or video call Cost: Free, no obligation

We'll Discuss:

The specific challenge you're facing What success looks like for your situation Whether my approach fits your needs Potential engagement timeline and structure

You'll Walk Away With: Immediate clarity on your situation (even if we don't work together) and no pressure to commit.


Situation Assessment

Timeline: Week 2-3 (if we decide to move forward) Duration: 1-2 weeks Format: Document review + stakeholder interviews

I'll Do:

Review relevant documentation (RFPs, proposals, architecture docs) Conduct stakeholder interviews (CIO, IT Director, key staff) Analyze current vendor proposals or technology landscape Understand legacy systems and constraints

Deliverable: Initial findings memo with recommended approach (typically 5-10 pages)


Strategic Guidance Begins

Timeline: Week 3+ Duration: Depends on engagement model

Depending on Your Model:

Assessment (2-4 weeks):

  • Week 3-4: Deliver comprehensive report and recommendations
  • Week 5: Executive presentation and Q&A
  • Week 6: 30-day implementation roadmap

Project-Based (3-6 months):

  • Weekly working sessions with key stakeholders
  • Milestone-based deliverables (architecture docs, cost models, RFP analysis)
  • Monthly executive briefings
  • Ad-hoc guidance as questions arise

Advisory (12+ months):

  • Regular touchpoints (weekly or bi-weekly)
  • On-demand guidance via email/phone
  • Quarterly strategic planning sessions
  • RFP and proposal reviews as needed

Throughout All Engagements: Direct access via email/phone for urgent questions. Most clients get responses within 4 hours during business days.


Typical Timeline to Value

First 2 weeks: Clear understanding of your situation and initial recommendations First 30 days: Actionable roadmap with prioritized next steps First 90 days: Strategic initiatives underway with measurable progress

Not a 6-month consulting engagement before seeing value. You'll have actionable insights from our first conversation, and concrete recommendations within 2 weeks of starting.
