A few practical answers before we start a conversation.
Does this request commit me to a project?
No. The first conversation is about understanding your requirements. Any proposed scope, costs and next steps would be discussed before you decide to proceed.
Do we need to know which service we need?
No. Start with the business question. The purpose of the first discussion is to understand the context before suggesting a suitable scope.
What should we prepare?
A short description of the decision, its timing and the key people involved is enough to begin. Do not send confidential business documents through this form.
When are fees and deliverables agreed?
They are discussed as part of a proposed engagement. Confirm the scope, responsibilities, deliverables and fees before any paid work begins.
Preparing for your [month] planning cycle?
Start the conversation by [date] so we can discuss the decision, the people involved and the scope needed before your planning milestone.
Your next step
Start with the question.
Give us a short outline of the decision you are working towards.
What happens next?
