Going-Forward Strategy

Set the strategy from here — and name what it must not break.

Set the strategy from here — and name what it must not break.

$2,500 Fixed fee

Paid at checkout. Typically four working meetings; a fifth is included if needed. Applicable Washington sales tax is added at checkout.

What this is

The strategy package after the problem has been named. We decide what will change, and we name the failures that strategy must not produce. You leave with a written going-forward strategy, not a vision deck.

This is direction, not tactics. The detailed moves come later, only if you want them. You can stop after this package.

How it works

You pay here, by card. Then we schedule typically four working meetings of 90 to 120 minutes. A fifth is included if we need it. Between meetings the strategy is written and checked for side effects, so the room is for decisions, not drafting.

This package assumes the one problem is already named. That usually means you have completed Problem Diagnosis. If you already have that finding from earlier work together, you can start here.

Who it's for

Owners and principals who know the one problem and need a direction they will actually run — including what they will refuse to break in order to get there.

What you get

  • Typically four working meetings of 90 to 120 minutes with the principals, fifth included if needed
  • A written going-forward strategy
  • Named side effects the strategy must not produce

Why it matters

  • A direction you can run, not a list of initiatives
  • Side effects are named before you spend money on the change
  • You can stop here — tactics are a separate package

The process

  1. 1 Pay for the package securely by card
  2. 2 Schedule the working meetings with the people who can change how the business runs
  3. 3 Decide what will change and name what that must not break
  4. 4 Receive the written strategy and decide whether to stop or continue

Terms

You leave with a written going-forward strategy for the problem already named, including what that strategy must not break. If we do not deliver that, you do not pay for this package. Finishing in fewer than the included meetings still completes the package.

Payment is taken at checkout, before the meetings are scheduled. If we do not deliver the written strategy, you owe nothing and the fee is refunded in full. Reschedule a meeting at least 24 hours ahead at no charge. A cancellation of the whole package at least 24 hours before the first meeting is a full refund. Inside 24 hours of a scheduled meeting, or a no-show, that meeting is spent because the time was reserved. The fifth meeting is a buffer, not an extra charge.

Turnaround: Typically four working meetings of 90 to 120 minutes, with a fifth if needed
