How we work · 4–6 weeks

Know where you stand and which lever to move first, in four to six weeks.

A short, focused diagnostic of your commercial engine. You end with a clear picture of where you win and lose, and a roadmap with must-win battles, owners and numbers.

FIG. 01The situation

Most companies know something has to change. Few agree on what to change first.

Sales wants more leads, marketing wants a new website, IT wants a new CRM and finance wants the margin back. Each request is reasonable. Together they compete for the same budget and the same people.

Without a shared picture, the loudest initiative wins, and the one that would have unlocked the rest waits.

FIG. 02What we see

The first lever to move is rarely the one everyone is talking about.

When a company wants to grow, the instinct is to fix what is most visible: the website, the CRM, the sales team. Often the real constraint sits somewhere else, in pricing, in data or in how decisions are made.

Every Fellow engagement is mapped against the same model: where you sit today across commercial tactics, technology & AI, data maturity and organisational capability, and which lever, moved first, unlocks the rest.

FIG. 03How we work

Four to six weeks, from interviews to a roadmap the leadership team owns.

Led by a Fellow partner, with specialists from the capabilities the findings point to.

  1. 01

    Weeks 1–2: Listen and read the numbers

    Interviews with leadership, sales, marketing and a handful of customers, and a review of order, margin, pipeline and customer data.

  2. 02

    Weeks 2–3: Map where you stand

    Your position across the four levers: commercial tactics, technology & AI, data and organisational capability. Where the gaps are, and what they cost.

  3. 03

    Weeks 3–4: Choose what comes first

    A leadership workshop to agree the must-win battles and the lever to move first, with the trade-offs on the table.

  4. 04

    Weeks 4–6: Write the roadmap

    Initiatives in sequence, with owners, budgets, KPIs and the first 90 days spelled out.
