Different activation patterns
Seven ways to work together.
We agree the smallest engagement that can answer the question in front of you. If a two-day session is enough, we will say so.
The models
What each one is for
Executive Thinking Session
A focused strategic question.
A structured working session with the people who actually decide. We reframe the question, map the options and leave with a written point of view.
Typical outputs
- Reframed question
- Option set with trade-offs
- Recommended next step
Neural Diagnostic
Understanding disconnected strategies, decisions, data and systems.
A short, evidence-based assessment of where the organisational brain is connected and where it is not — across strategy, decisions, data, technology, delivery and governance.
Typical outputs
- Connection map of the current brain
- Priority disconnection findings
- Sequenced remediation options
Brain Blueprint
Designing the target operating model, decision architecture and technology roadmap.
The design of the target brain: how the organisation will sense, decide, act, govern and learn — with the architecture and roadmap needed to get there.
Typical outputs
- Target operating and decision model
- Reference architecture
- Governance model
- Phased roadmap and investment view
Proof of Intelligence
Testing a high-value concept or AI capability.
A time-boxed build that tests whether a specific capability is valuable, feasible and governable — with evaluation criteria agreed before the work starts.
Typical outputs
- Working prototype
- Evaluation results against agreed criteria
- Production readiness assessment
Connected Platform Build
Designing and implementing a production platform.
Design and delivery of a production system — data, models, workflows, integrations, controls and the operational practice around it.
Typical outputs
- Production platform
- Integration and security implementation
- Observability and evaluation
- Run-and-improve model
Enterprise Brain Programme
Connecting multiple functions, systems and transformation initiatives.
A multi-track programme that connects strategy, intelligence, systems and delivery across the enterprise, under a single governance spine.
Typical outputs
- Programme architecture and governance
- Multiple delivered capabilities
- Capability transfer to internal teams
- Benefits tracking
Mission Brain Partnership
Large industry, government, societal, aviation, infrastructure or mission-scale programmes.
A long-horizon partnership for programmes with many participants, strict assurance requirements and public accountability.
Typical outputs
- Mission architecture
- Multi-party governance and assurance
- Long-term delivery and capability model
We do not publish fixed prices or guaranteed timelines. Both depend on scope, access, data readiness and the decisions a client is prepared to make. Indicative ranges are discussed once we understand the question.
Scale
From one decision to an entire ecosystem
The engagement model usually follows from the scale of the question.
Stage 1 of 8
One Question
A single leadership question, examined properly.
One Question
A single leadership question, examined properly.
One Decision
One consequential decision, with the evidence and options around it.
One Function
A function redesigned around how it senses, decides and acts.
One Product
A product or platform designed, built and governed end to end.
One Enterprise
Strategy, data, technology, operations and people connected.
One Industry Ecosystem
An organisation and the partners, regulators and channels around it.
One City or Society
Public systems, communities and the services that hold them together.
One Mission-Scale Programme
National, sectoral or mission-scale transformation over many years.
