Client fit
This work is for people who:
- Want to understand the "why" behind recommendations, not just the "what"
- Are willing to engage in thinking, not outsource it entirely
- Care about building lasting capability, not just ticking a box
- Have 5-10 year impact horizons, not quick wins
Probably isn't right if you're looking for someone to hand you a finished plan without your involvement.
