How do we engage with our Clients ?
Currently the world is changing, probably for ever, and you need to keep on the pace. But in the short term we know it's tough making strategic decisions to change, to appoint your specialists to help make those decisions, or assist with delivery of that change.
​
So we want to make it easy for you to get support making those strategic decisions.
We can then scale up engagement - at your pace - to support your longer term tactics, founded on well considered decisions.
Depending on your objectives or scope, and what our roles & scope might be to get you over the line, we come up with flexible, scaleable, configurable methods to engage.
​
Here are some examples based on possible scopes ...
Long Term Retainer
​i.e. Regular or Scheduled consulting advisory, peer review & ad-hoc facilitation
​
Long Term Incremental scope
​i.e. Operating Model research, stepping to planning then execution
​
Long term Fixed scope
​i.e. Project delivery, Operational Platform build, Technology Selection
​
Short Term Fixed Scope
​​i.e. Planning, Facilitation & Documentation of Strategy sessions
​
Role based secondment
i.e. ​In-house outsource, deferred FTE hiring backfill
​
Pure Ad-hoc

So start with a quick advisory session with us ... Discuss your plans, problems or opportunities, & we can start to plot a path.
​
We work with you to identify incremental value to deliver your Project or Business challenge through scaled levels of controlled commitment.
​
And no two Projects or Businesses are the same, so don't be surprised to hear "that depends..." from us quite regularly as you explore a relationship with us.
​
That's not us avoiding a question (like an uninformed politician ...) - That's us prompting more questions.
​
There are many dependencies upon the direction clients might prefer to take, & why, unique to your organisation or Project.
So through that questioning we work with you to define a best fit engagement model, balancing your appetite for commitment against the value that brings.
How do we Operate
As our business name says, we are an associateship.
​
We don't have and hold all the skills required to cover the entire real estate industry spectrum, or capacity requirements - Naturally that would create resourcing peaks & troughs that simply add to overheads.
​
We therefore engage with fellow professionals as associates under our wing, as and when required, to execute specific elements of commissions.
​
This adds focused value in specialist areas, adds flexibility to our offerings, and reduces our operating overheads. Right skills, right scope at the right time.
We are a small organisation, focused on adding value in concentrated highly interesting & highly challenging efforts, using our skills & wisdom developed over many years in many situations.
​
It's what our role entails - Working out what value we need to create, what's functionally required, who is required to do it, engaging with them, and coordinating their inputs to a common goal for our clients.
​
We are not a mass market annuity based business with a focus on volumes. We want to work with great organisations with vision & drive, just like ourselves, and contribute in specialist areas where we feel our own values are most transferable.
​
As we say above, we listen before we recommend scopes, approaches and structures.
There's no cookie cutter for what we do, but there is a clear why, so drop us a line to share your needs and thoughts, and we can start solutioning ....
Tester Sessions
If you're not quite sure what you need, we can provide impartial assistance to help you make early decisions around your Advisory or Project delivery needs. And for a small investment help you research & plan a future path to full engagement, developing a scope, structure and approach for successful outcomes, when the time is right.
​
Helping you gain clarity of the possibilities, configured to suit your unique objectives, prior to any big commitment.
