Engage
Built for the person who owns the outcome.
The first conversation is a thirty-minute diagnostic. I use it to confirm the fit before either side commits to a proposal. If the mandate fits, I respond within three working days. If it does not, I say so, with a referral where I have one. No charge, no pitch.

What happens next
From form to first conversation.
A three-step sequence. The next thirty seconds, the next reply, the next thirty days.
01
The next thirty seconds
Fill in the form below. Name, organisation, email, the area of enquiry, and a few lines on what you are working on. The form goes to me directly. No team, no screening layer, no autoresponder.
02
The next reply
If the mandate fits, I respond within three working days, usually with a proposed diagnostic call slot. If it does not, I say so, with a referral where I have one. You will not hear silence.
03
The next thirty days
A thirty-minute diagnostic call to confirm the fit. If the fit holds, a written scoping note follows within a week, then a proposal within two weeks of the diagnostic. I do not write a proposal before the diagnostic. The diagnostic is how both sides decide whether this is the right engagement.
