How I work

This is how I step in, how I work and how I bill step out.

You do not need to set up a big project to start. I read the situation, decide what comes first and act only on what changes the business. Four phases, each with a concrete deliverable — and the option to stop at the end of any of them.

PHASE 01

Reading the context

Before proposing anything, I understand what is really going on: business, technology, vendors and people.

What happens here

Concrete conversations with the people who know the problem, a review of whatever exists (platform, documentation, decision history) and a separation of symptoms from causes. No endless questionnaires or three-day workshops: precise questions to whoever knows the answers.

What you get

A documented diagnosis of the real blockage, in business language — not a technical report nobody will read.

PHASE 02

Prioritisation

I separate what moves the business from what only consumes focus. This is where a project is won or lost.

What happens here

I order what I found by business impact and cost to resolve. I flag dependencies and risks. And I do something rarely done: explicitly state what should not be touched yet, even if it stings to see it on the list.

What you get

A prioritised plan with risks and dependencies, and a clear recommendation for the first move.

PHASE 03

Intervention

I execute what was agreed: a decision, coordination between vendors or a development. Without opening unnecessary fronts.

What happens here

Bounded scope, worked through to the end. If something appears along the way that changes the plan, it is renegotiated in writing — not improvised or inflated. Regular progress updates, without you having to chase me to know how it is going.

What you get

Bounded deliverables according to the service: the decision made, the integration working, the upgrade in production.

PHASE 04

Adjustment

I review what I learned and correct only where needed. And we decide together whether to continue, stop or change focus.

What happens here

Result against what was expected: what worked, what did not, what is still pending and what changed along the way. No implicit commitment to continue — if the reasonable thing is to stop here, we stop here.

What you get

Review and next steps in writing. Yours, whoever executes them.

Ground rules

This works in both directions.

Working well together does not depend only on me. These are the conditions — the ones I set and the ones I ask for.

What you can expect from me

  • You talk to whoever does the work. No account layers, no broken telephone.
  • What matters, in writing. Scope, decisions, risks and changes are documented.
  • Uncomfortable honesty. If something is not right for you, I say so — even if it costs me the work.
  • Priority over activity. I do not bill movement; I work on what changes the business.

What I need from you

  • Access to whoever knows the problem, not just to whoever signs the budget.
  • Decisions within reasonable timeframes. A prioritised plan expires if it is decided three months late.
  • The uncomfortable context too: what does not work, what has already been tried, what nobody wants to say in the meeting.
  • A clear point of contact on your side, with the ability to decide or escalate quickly.
Explicit limitAnd if your problem is outside what I do well, I tell you on day one — and I tell you who to call.
Where it starts

It all starts with half an hour.

Before phase 01 there is a short, no-commitment conversation. It serves one purpose only: to know whether it makes sense to work together.

01

You tell me what is going on. No prep, no deck, no filters.

02

Together we name where the real blockage is, not just the symptoms.

03

If there is a fit, we define the next move. If not, I tell you directly.

NOT → a demo · a disguised sales call · a commitment. IT IS → half an hour of judgement on your situation.
