PROJECT STRUCTURE

Our projects typically last 10-12 weeks with new cycles beginning every January and August. Each project is staffed with 3-5 consultants and led by a project lead and a director.

 

All project teams are overseen by our Director of Consuting Operations and mentored by consultants from top consulting firms including McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, Bain & Company, and Dalberg.

​

Although each project has a unique timeline, approach and a mutually agreed cadence (frequency of meets between the project team and client), we usually follow the below structure with weekly client meetings.

Pre Week 1
Week 1
Week 2-4
Week 5
Week 5-9
Week 10
Post Week 10
Initial Consultation & Project Scoping

After both parties agree to explore a potential project, we will understand more about your organisation, its mission and its short and long term goals. 

 

Once we gain adequate understanding, we will mutually discuss and decide the deliverables, timeline and pricing for the project. 

 

This phase might take anywhere between 1-5 weeks depending on the complexity of project and availability to attend scoping meetings.

Project Team Introduction

During the first week of the project you’ll meet the project team that will be closely working with you. 

 

It’s also an opportunity for both parties to get to know each other better and agree on the finer aspects of engagement.

Research & Analysis
Right after the first week, our project team will start with the deliverables and will keep you in the loop with the pace of the project, roadblocks being faced and data from your side.
Mid-Review

During our Mid-Review, the project team will make a dedicated presentation to update you on the progress of the project and highlight the way ahead. 

 

Mid-Review also serves as a space to discuss and give extensive feedback on the work already done and guidance on work that follows.

Further Work & Consolidation
Post Mid-Review project teams will fine tune the work in response to any feedback and finish the remaining work while consolidating all the deliverables.
Final Presentation
The final presentation will crisply walk you through the whole engagement and summarise all the key takeaways and next steps for the client.

We would also submit all project related files for your perusal.
Client Feedback
After you get sufficient time to examine our work, we would love to hear back from you about the engagement!
