How it works

How we work

Three features you will not find in ordinary staffing or consulting services.

  1. Complimentary consultation (up to two visits)

    We visit and interview you about current operations, the issues you face and the support you need. We then discuss process improvement opportunities and the organisation or resources required.

  2. Job scoping with our proprietary model

    We analyse what we learn using the GOS Job Scoping Model and return with a job definition — including improvement proposals where relevant — together with a quotation.

  3. Execution against the agreed job definition

    We deliver the work defined and agreed, holding regular reviews and adjusting scope as your needs change.

Plans

Ways to engage

Choose the form that fits your budget, timeframe and the level of involvement you want. The forms can be combined.

A defined scope, period and deliverable. Suited to introducing systems, improving processes, market research, or building a succession plan.

Role type

Taking on a specific position or role on a continuing basis — accounting manager, chief operating officer, statutory auditor or head of secretariat, held from outside.

Fees are calculated for each engagement and each client based on the scope of work, with care taken to keep the burden as low as possible. Please talk to us first.
