Fixed price • 4–6 weeks • £30k
A four-to-six-week sprint that redesigns the smallest set of decision rights and feedback loops that unblocks the flow — proven on real work while it runs, not rolled out from a slide. Then I leave, and the new operating model is yours.
Almost always after a Pattern Diagnostic or an AI Rollout Stall Diagnosis — the sprint changes what the diagnosis named. Redesigning before diagnosing is how transformations end up as new carpet over a broken floor. If you arrive with a credible diagnosis from elsewhere, including your own, that works too.
If decision rights don't move, the transformation didn't happen. This sprint exists to move them — deliberately, minimally, and on real work, so the change is proven rather than promised.
The smallest set of decision-rights and feedback-loop changes that unblocks the flow. Not a target operating model deck. Not a reorg.
The changes run on live work during the sprint. What survives contact with reality ships; what doesn’t gets redesigned inside the fixed price.
The sprint is a teaching vehicle. The people who will own the model operate it while it’s being built, so nothing depends on me being in the room.
Six weeks maximum, one invoice, then I leave. Extension is your choice, never my pitch.
The PoC Sprint proves a technical pathway exists: working software against your real constraint. This sprint changes how decisions and learning flow: the operating model the software has to live inside. Stalled AI rollouts often need both, in that order — and each has its own price and its own defined end.
This is not a transformation programme. No embedded team, no phase two assumed, no framework installed. It runs four to six weeks at a fixed £30k, and then it ends.
You have probably had the eighteen-month version. This is the opposite shape.
How every engagement runs
Find where the constraint actually sits. Not where the org chart says it should be.
Build the thing that proves the pathway exists. Working software, not a slide.
Transfer the capability to your people while it is being built, not after.
Every engagement has a defined end. Extension is your choice, never my pitch.
I leave. The capability stays. If you want a consultant who embeds for eighteen months, I am the wrong person.
Because it’s the rung where advice becomes change. It sits above the Pattern Diagnostic (which names the constraint) and the PoC Sprint (which proves a technical pathway) because it alters how your organisation actually makes decisions — and it’s priced fixed so the incentive is to finish, not to stay.
Fine. The sprint starts from any credible diagnosis, including your own. If the diagnosis is wrong, the sprint finds out fast — proving changes on real work is unforgiving of misdiagnosis, and that discovery is worth having in week two rather than month twelve.
Then it gets redesigned inside the sprint — that’s what proving on real work is for. What you will not get is a design that only works in the workshop room. If part of the constraint turns out to sit somewhere untouchable, you’ll get that in writing too.
The people whose decision rights are actually changing, and the leader who can say yes to changing them. A sprint that redesigns decision-making without the decision-makers is theatre, and I’ll decline it.
£30k fixed. Decision rights moved, proven on real work, handed over. And then I leave.
