Start with a fixed-price baseline, then decide on a mandate

Step 1

Strategic Baseline

Fixed price, two to three weeks. A decision basis for management and the board: where you stand, what to decide first, and what to stop. Credited against a mandate that starts within 60 days.

Step 2

Fractional mandate

One to four days a month. Six-month minimum, then cancellable monthly. The work runs in up to six phases and ends with a handover to your own people.

  1. Strategic Baseline
  2. Procurement and RFP steering
  3. Delivery oversight
  4. Impact and efficiency
  5. Board assurance
  6. Handover and closure
What each phase delivers, and what is out of scope

You decide. I steer the delivery.

Your role

Strategy and business objectives

You define the business goals, the budget and the market position you are aiming for, and you secure the board's backing.

The final call

I lay out the facts, the alternatives and their costs. The decision stays with you.

My role

What runs in production counts

I translate your strategy into architecture decisions that hold, and steer delivery partners through defined acceptance criteria all the way to go-live.

No vendor commissions, no agency margins

I steer implementation partners rather than replacing them. My recommendation has to hold even if it costs a supplier the contract.
