FAQs

  • It depends on the size and complexity of your organization and the type of work we're doing. Most engagements range from 6 to 12 weeks for strategy or organizational design projects. Employee engagement initiatives and operating model work may take longer if broader data collection or stakeholder engagement is involved. We'll work with you to set clear timelines from the start.

  • Our pricing is based on the scope of work, organization size, and complexity of your needs. After an initial consultation, we’ll provide you with a detailed proposal outlining costs, timelines, and deliverables — no hidden fees or surprises.

  • There is already a vast body of research on organizational effectiveness, team dynamics, and workplace behavior, but much of it isn't easy for leaders to access or apply. Influential researchers like Edgar Schein (organizational culture), Amy Edmondson (psychological safety), and Richard Hackman (team effectiveness) have shown how important structure, trust, and environment are to performance.
    Here, we translate this deep academic knowledge into practical, actionable strategies for your specific business.

  • Definitely. We often work alongside internal HR, strategy, or transformation teams — not to replace them, but to provide additional expertise, frameworks, and capacity. Our goal is to complement your internal capabilities and help accelerate your success.

  • Absolutely. Times of major change are when structure, culture, and alignment matter most. We have experience supporting organizations through mergers, acquisitions, leadership transitions, and rapid growth phases, helping you build clarity and stability when you need it most.

  • We don't believe in one-size-fits-all templates. Every engagement starts with a deep dive into your organization's goals, challenges, and context. We combine proven frameworks with a tailored approach, ensuring that the solutions we design align with your culture, strategy, and business model.

  • We primarily work with small to mid-sized companies (typically under 5,000 employees) and start-ups scaling quickly. That said, our methods are flexible and have been used in much larger enterprises as well. If you're wondering if it's a fit, we're happy to have a conversation.

  • Your data security is critically important to us. We maintain a GDPR-compliant environment and use highly secure tools such as Tresorit for file storage and Azure for working space. Your information is encrypted, access-controlled, and handled according to strict confidentiality standards.

  • Depending on the type of work we're doing, here’s the data we typically request:

    Strategy Development: Current strategy documents; Business goals and KPIs; Key initiatives and priorities

    Organizational Design: Org charts and reporting lines; Role descriptions and team structures; Headcount by function and geography

    Operating Model: Process maps or workflow diagrams; Governance structures; Key systems and technology stack; Decision rights and accountability frameworks

    Employee Engagement: Employee engagement survey results (if available); Turnover and retention data; Informal team feedback, pulse surveys, or listening session summaries

  • No, we specialize in organizational strategy, structure, and engagement, not broader HR consulting like compensation or labor market benchmarking.


    That said, we have a combined decades of experience working in human capital and maintain a strong network of trusted partners. Depending on your needs, we can refer you to experts in talent development, compensation strategy, benefits consulting, or talent acquisition.

  • Broken systems often show up as silos, duplicate efforts, slow decision-making, unclear accountability, or disengaged employees. Internal disconnects happen when strategy, structure, or communication don’t align — causing frustration and wasted energy. Bottlenecks are points where work slows down because too much depends on too few people, unclear processes, or outdated tools.

    If you're curious whether this is happening in your organization, I have a free, online survey available. This tool is designed to give you a directional sense of potential issues. (Note: It’s not a replacement for a full diagnostic assessment, which we can provide.)

  • Implementation support is available if you need it. Whether you need help rolling out a new operating model, supporting leaders through a restructuring, or designing change communications, we can stay involved to ensure the changes are truly adopted.

  • Of course. Many clients start with a smaller diagnostic, workshop, or pilot project. This allows you to experience how we work and build momentum internally before scaling efforts more broadly.
