Signature solutions

Structured assessments with a defined deliverable set.

These five solutions package the work we are asked for most frequently, across supply chain, procurement, cold chain, digital health and programme performance. Scope and depth of fieldwork are agreed during framing, so a commissioning team can take it to a budget holder without further translation.

Common questions

Practicalities.

Duration depends on scope and institution size and is agreed during framing: assessments typically run from a few weeks to a couple of months, while retained advisory and embedded residencies run for longer, agreed periods. Every proposal states an estimated timeline before work begins.

Defined assignments are quoted as a fixed fee against a written scope, with a payment schedule tied to deliverables. Retained advisory is billed monthly against an agreed day allocation. Field costs are budgeted separately and passed through at cost with documentation.

The Managing Director leads every engagement and remains involved through delivery. Core teams are kept small and are supplemented by vetted associate specialists where a brief requires niche technical, clinical or regulatory expertise. Associates are disclosed to the client before mobilisation.

All primary research requiring ethical clearance is submitted to the appropriate institutional review board before fieldwork begins. Personal data is minimised, stored encrypted, and handled in line with applicable data protection law in each jurisdiction where we work. Client materials remain confidential indefinitely unless publication is agreed in writing.

Frequently. A common sequence is a Supply Chain Health Check followed by Pharmaceutical Procurement Optimization on the priority gaps, or a Digital Health Readiness Assessment followed by a phased transformation programme. Combined programmes are contracted in stages with a review at each boundary.
