01The scope

One decision, examined properly, in two calendar weeks.

About four days of senior effort, spread across two weeks from an agreed kickoff and receipt of the information we need. It starts with the business question, not a preferred technology.

  • One clearly defined business problem, opportunity or investment decision
  • Up to four stakeholder interviews
  • Targeted review of an agreed set of relevant material
  • Analysis of the realistic options and trade-offs
  • One decision workshop
  • Preparation of the Decision Brief
Typical questions

Should we invest in this?

Where could AI or automation genuinely improve the business?

Why is this initiative not delivering?

Should we build, buy or partner?

Is this opportunity commercially worthwhile?

How do we turn an idea into something executable?

02The approach

The answer may be to invest, simplify, defer or stop.

  • SeeWhat is the real business problem or opportunity, and what is realistically possible?
  • DecideWhat are the credible options and trade-offs, and which direction do we recommend?
  • ActWhat should happen next, and what are the priorities for the first 90 days?

03The Decision Brief

A concise brief that ends with the first 90 days.

The principal output, presented at the decision workshop and written so your team can act on it without us.
