Business Transformation Discovery
If you rebuilt your operation using today’s technology, what would you change?
For an organisation that needs to operate differently. We investigate an agreed scope across teams, workflows, systems and economics, then build a prioritised roadmap showing what should change, why and in what order.
From £12,500 · Fixed fee after scoping
This is for you if
- The business has outgrown how it is run, and it shows in different places each month
- Several change projects are competing and none is clearly first
- Succession, sale, funding or a step-change in size is on the horizon
- Systems have accumulated rather than been chosen
- Growth is available but the operation could not currently absorb it

How we handle enquiriesEvidence, gathered where the work actually happens.
How the operation works now, end to end, and where it breaks under growth
The gap between the current operation and the stated direction
Which changes unlock others, and which are expensive dead ends
Capability and capacity — people, process and systems together
What sequence carries the least risk for the return available
A decision-ready audit package you can act on without us.
You receive a decision-ready evidence pack, written audit report and live interactive findings presentation. Conclusions, calculations and recommendations are linked to evidence and can be challenged during the readout. Implementation remains optional.
Not for: A request for implementation alone, or a review without access to the people and evidence needed to test the proposed changes.
See an illustrative finding →- 01A written account of how the business actually operates today
- 02The gaps between that and where you intend to be
- 03A sequenced set of changes, with dependencies made explicit
- 04The case for each — cost, effort, risk and expected effect
- 05An honest view of what should be left alone
Six stages, with clear decision boundaries.
- 01
Research
Understand the organisation, its direction and the conditions around it.
- 02
Discover
Gather evidence across the relevant leaders, teams, workflows, systems and data.
- 03
Map
Build an evidence-backed picture of how the operation works today.
- 04
Analyse
Identify constraints, dependencies, risks and opportunities.
- 05
Prioritise
Sequence changes by measurable value, feasibility and what each unlocks.
- 06
Transform
Present the operating transformation roadmap. Implementation is a separate decision.
What it costs
From £12,500
Every Discovery engagement is scoped before commencement and quoted as a fixed fee.
US on-site Discovery engagements from $15,000.
Your quote sets out the agreed scope, inclusions, any applicable taxes and travel costs. Additional work needs approval before the scope changes.
- The size of the operation and how many sites or teams are in scope
- How much evidence already exists versus needs gathering
- Whether the question is one process or the whole business
- How many people need to be interviewed or observed
Your business, your data
Human-led, AI-assisted and evidence-controlled. Recording, attribution, access, providers and retention need to be agreed before evidence is shared.
- Confidential from the start. An NDA comes before commercially sensitive material. We request only evidence relevant to the agreed question.
- Clear access and retention. Interview attribution, permitted processing and return or deletion are agreed first. The findings do not expose every raw staff account or restricted source.
- A named person, an optional next step. Material findings receive human review. Your rights to the outputs are agreed in writing; implementation is a separate decision. Underlying methods and software remain proprietary.
What people ask before they commit.
Is this a strategy document?
You receive a prioritised roadmap supported by an evidence pack, written report and interactive findings presentation. It sets out changes, dependencies, cost assumptions and the parts of the operation best left alone.
We have change projects already competing. Does this help?
That is one of the clearest reasons to run it. The output sequences them by which unlocks others and which are expensive dead ends, so the argument stops being about whose project matters most.
How much of our time will this take?
The proposal specifies the operating scope, timeline and time needed from each team before you commit. This can involve several leaders and workflows; it is not a promise to investigate every part of an organisation for the starting fee.
We are heading towards a sale or succession. Is that a fit?
Yes — it is a strong reason to consider this engagement. A written, evidenced account of how the business actually operates can support the decisions required before a sale, succession, funding round or leadership transition.
Will you recommend a large technology programme?
Only if the evidence supports it. A deleted process step, system integration or revised commercial decision may create more value than a large technology programme. AI is recommended only where it earns its place.
Do we have to act on all of it?
No. It is sequenced precisely so you can take the first change and stop, or take none. The engagement ends with a decision that is yours.
Not quite your question?
