I interview your leadership and the people actually doing the work, separately. I map where the hours and the rework really go. You get a costed roadmap your own team has already signed off on, quick wins first. Off-the-shelf tools before anything gets built.
You have a competitor moving faster than you. You have a board or a bank asking what your plan is. And every vendor who calls has a product to sell you, so none of them will tell you to do nothing. The expensive mistake here is not moving too slowly. It is spending six figures on the wrong thing because the person who recommended it also happened to sell it.
Every number is built from your numbers and shown as the arithmetic, so you can argue with it. A confused board does nothing, so this is built to be the opposite of confusing.
Interviews with your leadership and, separately, the people doing the work. What the two groups disagree about is the part you are paying for, because it is the part nobody inside can see.
Every drain sorted into two kinds: work that is simply slow, and work that gets done twice because it comes out wrong. The second kind costs more than it looks like it does.
Every opportunity placed by how much it moves and how hard it is. The clever, expensive, marginal ideas are cut rather than demoted, so the list stays a plan instead of a wish list.
What can be running inside 30 days using tools that already exist. Nothing custom, nothing to build, nothing that needs a developer on standby.
Hours, your hourly rate, tool cost, net saving. Built from figures you gave me, labelled where they are estimates. I do not include the "and those hours become revenue" line, because they usually do not.
Phased across 30, 90 and 180 days, then re-ordered by your own people in a working session so it survives contact with how your business actually runs.
Three to five conversations, 30 to 45 minutes each, over Zoom or Google Meet. Leadership and the people doing the work, kept separate on purpose. Nobody prepares anything. They just talk about their week.
I map the processes, place every opportunity by effort and impact, and put your numbers against each one. You get the findings before we meet, so you have time to poke holes in them.
A working session where your people re-order the list using what they know and I never will. You leave holding a plan with your own team's fingerprints on it, not a recommendation to evaluate.
£5,000, one time, delivered remotely over two weeks. The guarantee is real: if the assessment does not identify more in annualised savings than the £5,000 it cost you, I refund you in full and you keep every finding. You can check that number yourself, because the arithmetic is on the page.
Most businesses stop here and run the quick wins themselves, which is the point of doing them off the shelf. If you want the bigger items built afterwards, or somebody responsible for keeping them running once they are, we talk about that after the roadmap exists and not before. Nothing on this page is a foot in the door for something else.
The findings pay for themselves, or they cost you nothing.
