Strategy that's buildable. Not just presentable.

We design solutions around your real constraints: your team, your budget, your timeline, your market. Beautiful strategy decks are worthless if they can't be built.

Philosophy

Every recommendation comes with a build plan.

We don't suggest "improve your data infrastructure" and leave you to figure out what that means. We specify the architecture, the migration path, the team requirements, the timeline, and the cost. If we can't detail how to build it, we don't recommend it.

This matters because the gap between strategy and execution is where most consulting relationships fail. Strategies that can't be decomposed into concrete work packages aren't strategies. They're aspirations.

Process
01

Constraint mapping

What can't change? Budget ceiling, team skills, regulatory requirements, timeline deadlines, existing contracts. We design within reality, not around it.

02

Solution architecture

Multiple options weighted by feasibility, impact, and risk. We present alternatives with honest tradeoffs rather than pushing a single path that benefits our engagement scope.

03

Rapid prototyping

For technology solutions, we build lightweight prototypes during the design phase. You see it working before committing to a full build. For process changes, we simulate the new workflows with your team.

04

Implementation roadmap

Phased execution plan with milestones, dependencies, resource requirements, and risk mitigation. Each phase has a measurable outcome. No ambiguity about what "done" looks like.

05

Stakeholder alignment

We present the roadmap to every stakeholder who needs to buy in. If there's resistance, we address it during Design rather than discovering it during Deliver.

What You Get

Solution architecture

Complete technical and operational design. System diagrams, data flows, process maps, and integration points documented in plain language.

Implementation roadmap

Phase-by-phase execution plan with milestones, resource requirements, and success metrics. Built for your team to execute, not just admire.

Risk register

Every identified risk with probability, impact, and mitigation plan. We name the things that could go wrong so you can plan for them.

Working prototype

For technology solutions, a functional proof-of-concept demonstrating the core value proposition. For process changes, a documented pilot plan.

Timeline & Investment

3-6 weeks. Fixed fee. Clear scope.

Design phase pricing is fixed and agreed upfront based on complexity. You'll know exactly what you're paying and what you're getting before we start. The deliverables are yours whether or not you continue to Deliver. No lock-in. No hostage-taking.

Good strategy is cheap. Bad execution is expensive.

Let's design something your team can actually build. Talk to us about your challenge and we'll scope a Design engagement.
