QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions.

Do you just write the report?

No. Most of our strategy engagements include a transformation office that stays on to implement the plan. We measure our success by the change it brings to your business.

How long does a diagnostic take?

Usually four to six weeks, at a fixed fee. It gives you a clear view of the problem and a costed plan, and a basis for deciding whether to go further.

Can you work with our existing advisers?

Yes. We regularly work alongside auditors, legal advisers and investment banks, and coordinate so that you get one coherent view.
