The course of cooperation

We divide the cooperation into two separate units:

• Baseline analysis
• Consultancy / management cooperation

Baseline analysis

It is a prerequisite for successful cooperation. First of all, it is necessary to identify all the problems that lead to the fact that some of the key indicators do not correspond to the ideas of the owners or the management of the company. There is rarely only one cause. On the contrary, it is almost always a tangled web of causes of various kinds (external and internal). The most common problems we encounter with clients can be found on our Most Frequently Addressed Problems page.

A baseline analysis is a clearly timed project with a separate budget. It usually takes 1 – 2 months to complete. It results in specific findings and proposed change projects that will lead to the desired results. These can be addressed/directed by the client on their own or in collaboration with us.

Consultancy / management cooperation

The second phase (in total) is the follow-up work on specific changes based on the analysis. Our role here can range from the minimum (occasional consultations to change managers) to more intensive consultancy work, where we are often in contact with change managers and help them to implement changes, to an interim management role, where we lead specific change projects for the client ourselves and integrate ourselves into the company structure for a certain period of time.

These projects are medium to long term depending on the amount of change that needs to be implemented. The implementation period ranges from a quarter of a year to about two years. They do not have a clearly defined time frame in advance (in layman’s terms, we work together until the goal is achieved). The project is financed by a fixed monthly fee (possibly supplemented by a success fee).
