Project Execution
At the start of each project, a final report "shell" is developed. This covers objectives, assumptions, flow, format, content, research sources, methodology, and level of detail to be delivered. This includes example slides showing intended levels of detail to be delivered.
This insures we all have a shared vision of what will be presented 8-10 weeks downstream, clarify any questions early in the process, starting the way we all want to finish.
We provide scheduled updates as our research and analysis unfolds so we all have a shared view of the opportunity picture as it develops.
Progress review dates are established at the beginning of the project. These dates are set at the 25%, 50%, 75%, and Final Presentation delivery points. As the information, analysis, and interim findings and conclusions take shape, these progress reviews allow for client redirection and refinement.
