Choose what’s right for you.
Every option starts in the same place: finding what really matters before anyone spends money fixing the wrong thing. They differ in how deep we go and who’s in the room.
The four ways we can work together
The Short List
Two hours, just you. Within 48 hours you get one page that tells your team where to look.
The Decision Day
One day with you, me and your leadership team. We work through both tests together.
Five, ten or twenty days inside the business. Three levels of certainty about the one thing holding it back.
The Fix
I run the first stage of the work The Fix identified until it's moving, then I leave.
Making it stick
The Short List
Two hours. Just you.
You've done the AI Exposure Test, the Constraint Locator or both, or you haven't and you'll talk me through the business instead. We work out what AI could replace, the two or three places your one thing might sit, and what you and your team need to do to find it.
£500. One page back to you within 48 hours. Something you can act on.
The Decision Day
One day with you and your leadership team.
Morning: we work through the AI Exposure Test and the Constraint Locator together with your actual numbers in front of us, and land on the one thing that will move your business forward.
Afternoon: we turn that into the immediate plan of work, with owners and dates. Everyone leaves having agreed what happens next and who does it.
£2,800. Includes a pre-day call with you, preparation against your numbers, and a written summary within three days.
The Fix
Each level goes further into the business than the last. You get more certainty about the one thing, and more detail on what to do about it.
-
Focus · 5 days across two weeks · £4,000. Find the one thing that matters most, and how AI could affect it. For leaders spreading their attention too thinly who want direction fast.
-
Clarity · 10 days across four weeks · £8,000. Find out whether the obvious problem is the real cause, and what needs to change. For leaders who want more than a quick diagnosis before they commit.
-
Breakthrough · 20 days across eight weeks · £16,000. A tested diagnosis across the whole business and a prioritised plan. For complex businesses or divided leadership teams, where a wrong diagnosis would be costly. The diagnosis finds the route. What happens next is why Making it stick exists.
We agree a fixed fee before we start, so there's no day-rate creep. 25% on signature, 25% at the halfway point, the remainder on delivery of the plan. I scope groups over 100 people, or with more than three operating units, individually.
Making it stick
-
When the answer is clear and the capacity to act on it isn't. Hand a plan to a leadership team that's already stretched and they'll read it, agree with it, and then the day job swallows it.
-
For some clients I stay on for a while, as part of the team rather than an extra pair of hands. I run things with your team, until it is far enough along that it carries itself. Then I leave.
-
I price it separately once we know the work. It starts at two days a week and drops to two or three days a month.
“Mark knew exactly when to push into the detail and when to stand back to let the rest of the team take the lead.”
Kate Wilson, former CEO of a Cambridge University spin-out
If AI can move what's holding you back: AI for the right reasons
Your Decision Day or The Fix is Phase 1. From there we put AI to work on the one thing, one area at a time, and you decide at the end of every phase whether to carry on. See how it works
How I work with you
Two or three clients at a time
Part of your team
You pay for results.
You get my full attention.
I work alongside your team and answer to you. You get actions you know how to take, with a plan behind them.
We agree the outcome and how I'll work before we start, so I can get on with delivering and you know what you'll get back. If something isn't working, we say so and fix it.
“He treated a small company as a partner rather than a line in a sales pipeline.”
Phil Clements, CEO, Finspector
What changes for you
Once the one thing is dealt with, you get out of firefighting and back to leading the business, knowing what comes next.
