How We Work
How GRAD Consulting Works — Our Engagement Process
Every engagement follows a straightforward process — from scoping through delivery to knowledge transfer — with clear expectations from the start.
How We Work
From first conversation to lasting capability.
1
Discovery
Deep dive into your processes, technology, people, and strategic context to understand the real challenge.
2
Scoping
A clear Statement of Works defining deliverables, timeline, fees, and success metrics — agreed before work begins.
3
Delivery
Structured project delivery with regular stakeholder communication, progress reporting, and adaptive management.
4
Review
Post-delivery review against objectives, with identification of further opportunities for continuous improvement.
5
Knowledge Transfer
Training and documentation to embed capability in your team so change sticks long after our engagement ends.
Engagement Models
Structured to suit your situation.
GRAD works across three engagement models — choose the one that matches your need, timeline, and budget.
Project Engagement
Fixed scope, timeline, and price. Ideal for defined problems — a BI implementation, a technology audit, or a strategic roadmap. Governed by a Statement of Works agreed before work begins.
- ✓ Fixed price & scope
- ✓ Statement of Works upfront
- ✓ 4–16 week delivery
- ✓ Clear acceptance criteria
Ongoing Retainer
A monthly advisory relationship — available when you need strategic guidance, a sounding board, or light-touch implementation support. No large upfront commitment.
- ✓ Monthly hours allocation
- ✓ Direct access to Anthony
- ✓ Priority response
- ✓ Flexible scope month to month
Discovery & Advisory
Not sure where to start? A structured discovery engagement helps you understand your current state, identify the highest-value opportunities, and get a clear roadmap before committing to full delivery.
- ✓ Current-state assessment
- ✓ Opportunity identification
- ✓ Prioritised roadmap
- ✓ No implementation required
Feel free to get in touch.
We would be happy to have a conversation.
No obligation and no sales pitch — just an honest conversation about your situation and whether we might be able to help.
