Approach

This is what happens, in this order


We do not work from a ready-made solution. Every engagement follows the same sequence of five phases, and each phase delivers a concrete result before the next begins. How far the engagement goes is up to you: each phase is quoted separately, and after each phase you can decide to stop.

Phase 00 — Intake

Intake

What happensA short, serious first conversation about your situation. We explore the question and establish, on both sides, whether your question and our approach are a good match, before time goes into a full diagnosis.

What it deliversA concise intake report with a first assessment of the question and a clear recommendation whether or not to proceed. If we proceed, a proposal for the diagnosis phase follows.

Phase 01 — Diagnosis

Diagnosis

What happensWe map the organisation, the process and the data as they really are, including time spent on the floor. No assumptions, but the question as it presents itself in practice.

What it deliversA diagnostic report with the problem definition in the language of your organisation, a process analysis, an assessment of the data available and required, and a clear prioritisation of the bottlenecks.

Phase 02 — Design / Advice

Design / Advice

What happensWe translate the diagnosis into concrete, substantiated advice. This is also where we make explicit whether the solution lies with us or not: sometimes the best route is another supplier or another strategy, and then we say so.

What it deliversA design proposal with the recommended direction: a bespoke solution within your existing infrastructure, a new application, or the advice to proceed elsewhere. With it, the outline of the architecture, the risks and an implementation plan.

Phase 03 — Build / Implementation

Build / Implementation

What happensWe deliver the chosen solution: developing, testing, training users and integrating it into your organisation's existing infrastructure. The build is divided into tangible milestones that you can test along the way.

What it deliversA working solution, the accompanying test results, and users and administrators who know how to work with it.

Phase 04 — Aftercare

Aftercare

What happensWe check in practice whether the solution does its job, and adjust where necessary. This phase is not a conclusion but the beginning of an ongoing involvement.

What it deliversAn aftercare report with the results from practice, the adjustments made and advice on the next steps.

The first step is the intake.
