Engagement pricing

A clear fee for a clearly defined engagement.

Training, diagnostics, architecture assessments and advisory support are priced around agreed outputs, preparation, responsibilities and delivery constraints.

Commercial approach

Agree the problem and scope before the fee.

The introductory conversation establishes the decision or learning objective, the sponsor, available evidence, participants and constraints. The proposal then sets out the fee and what it includes.

There is no single price that fits every landscape or learning programme. A focused executive briefing and a multi-system posting investigation have different preparation, evidence and review requirements.

Engagement models

Choose a commercial structure that fits the work.

01

Briefings and workshops

A fixed fee for the agreed audience, learning objectives, preparation, facilitation, materials, exercises and follow-up. Participant limits and customisation are explicit.

02

Bounded diagnostics

A scoped fee for agreed procedures and deliverables. Define the entities, currencies, period, event families, systems, evidence and review rounds. Fees do not depend on finding defects.

Value and scope

Match the engagement to a worthwhile decision.

Discuss the cost of the current problem and the practical evidence needed to choose the next action. Agree how any intended change will be measured.

Released capacity, cash released, recurring savings and avoided rework are assessed separately. A proposed benefit is not a verified result, and a fee is not a guarantee of an outcome.

A standalone workshop can build shared understanding; a diagnostic can investigate a bounded issue; an architecture assessment can compare investment options. Each has its own scope and acceptance criteria.
