The Discovery Process
We begin by having conversations to thoroughly understand the current state of your business, goals, and objectives, as well as the strengths and weaknesses that influence how we achieve your success. The discovery stage is an in-depth and frank series of conversations intended to inform all in the exercise about the current state of relevant business affairs.
With an informed understanding of the overall business, we execute a series of exercises to develop a roadmap to the desired state. The nature of the engagement will dictate the exercises conducted. These exercises typically are small groups but can be individuals.
Program Assessments
Reviewing the current state of programs is an essential step to understand the current state and to identify corrective action plans. Frequent targets of our efforts are reviewing digital marketing, ecommerce/lead generation, brand position, competitive landscapes, website analytics configurations, pay per click (Google / Bing) advertising, search engine optimization, creative messaging, social media programs as well as organization-wide reviews.
Client Deliverables
Final deliverables are determined when the statement of work is finalized. Most often the deliverable is an action plan to realign the program under review in such a manner that goal achievement has greater certainty. While we'd love to offer a guarantee, the facts are that an assessment only identifies the issues and recommends corrective actions. Ultimately it is on the program owner to resource and executes the action plan. At the conclusion of the discovery and assessment stage delivery of the recommendations is typically done in person with the program and project teams present. Final documents take the form of a presentation, report of findings, and recommended roadmap.
