How is a business consulting project organized and started?

Mostly everything can be tailored to your business needs and goals; the typical consulting project begins the following way:

  • Free consultation to discover business goals and challenges

  • If we require more sensitive on in-depth information, we will sign an NDA

  • Proposal development outlining the scope of work, pricing, timeline, and recommendations

  • System integrations for effective collaborations

  • Communications plan and milestone reporting
