Forty five minutes. Your numbers. One lever.

The strategy call is free and it is not a sales call. You bring your rough revenue, margin and headcount. Ian maps where your firm sits on the Loading Growth Wheel and tells you the one lever to pull first, and which Everest stage fits, if any.

What happens on the call

Before
You get a short note asking for three numbers: last year's revenue, your gross margin as best you know it, and billable headcount. If you have taken the scorecard, bring the result.
During
Ian maps the firm against the Nine Keys, reads the numbers through the EBIT Dial, and names the one lever that would move margin or value fastest. If an Everest stage fits, he will say which one and what it costs. If none fits yet, he will say that too.
After
You leave with the lever, a first action for the next two weeks, and a clear yes or no on working together. No follow up sequence of calls to get a price.
