Five cuts we take.
If it isn’t one of these, we will say so in the first call. We don’t invent a workstream to keep a retainer warm.
Org design
Most charts describe last year’s politics. We start from the work: who decides, who knows, who is waiting. Then we draw spans that a human can actually hold.
Delivered as a one-page load path, a meeting inventory (what dies), and a 90-day move list. Not a 60-slide operating model.
Talent & succession
We sit with the names. Readiness is a behavior you can point at, not a color in a grid. The board gets a bench they can defend; the operators get a conversation they can have on Monday.
Includes a confidential calibration, a successor map for the roles that would actually hurt, and language for the people who are not next.
Leadership
Coaching for people who already run something. We watch the operating meeting, not a 360 dashboard. The work is how the team decides when you’re not in the room.
Usually six months, twice a month, with the team in the loop so it doesn’t become a secret.
Investigations
When something has gone wrong at work — harassment, retaliation, a mess that will leak — we investigate. Independent enough to be trusted. Close enough to your counsel to finish.
A findings letter, a recommended action, and a file you can stand on. We do not do PR. We do not do “listening sessions” as a substitute.
Fractional CHRO
Growing firms often need a senior people leader before they can carry one. We take the seat by the week: compensation, employee relations, the exec table, the hire you keep putting off.
A season, not a forever. The job is to leave you with a function that doesn’t need us.
Pay equity
Ranges that match the work, not the loudest negotiator. We rebuild the architecture, run the gaps, and write the story you can tell the people who will ask.
