Operational Audit, Training, and Strategy & Advisory each have their own engagement shape. Here’s how every one actually runs.
The diagnostic engagement. Same shape across tiers; depth varies. We end with a written readout you can take to your board, and a 30-day follow-up to check what actually got actioned.
60-minute kickoff with the buyer and key stakeholders. Agree the scope: which teams, which workflows, which interviews. Interview invitations go out. We begin desk research on the business.
Stakeholder interviews (8 for Team, up to 25 for Business, up to 50+ for Enterprise). Process and tooling inventory. Document analysis. We cross-reference what we hear against what we see in the systems.
Internal analysis and writeup. Draft review with the buyer 24 hours before the presentation. Final presentation to the leadership team. Deliverable handover, operational map, opportunity register, prioritisation, recommendations, executive 1-pager.
30-minute call with the buyer. What's been actioned, what's stuck, what we missed. Included on every engagement.
Whether you're booking through Skillnet, direct, or as an executive briefing, the engagement runs the same way. A Nomad expert plans, delivers, and follows up. Cohorts stay small enough that every delegate gets time.
A 30-minute call to understand your team, your tools, and which format fits. Skillnet, direct, or executive briefing, we'll tell you honestly.
We pre-read your materials, tailor the deck, build a prompt library for your industry, and design exercises around your real workflows. No off-the-shelf decks.
Live, expert-led session, in-person at your site or over a video call. A Nomad founder or vetted consultant in the room, never an outsourced freelancer.
A follow-up call 30 days after delivery. What worked, what didn't, what's stuck. Included on every engagement.
Strategy work happens in one of two shapes, depending on whether you need a sharp leadership conversation or a defined-scope engagement on a specific decision. Both end in a short written deliverable, not a 100-slide deck.
We pre-read your materials and build a sector-specific briefing. Live session with your leadership team. You leave with a written AI position statement and a recommended next-step roadmap.
For a specific decision: build vs buy, platform selection, vendor evaluation, programme design. Stakeholder interviews, options analysis, recommended path. Deliverable is short, a position document + a 1-pager, backed by the full working out.
The shapes above are how an engagement runs. This is what came out of them, from the feedback forms we send afterwards, anonymised to role and sector.
It exceeded what I expected. Learning how to actually use AI inside the workplace, and using automations to take out the time-consuming tasks.
Formatting cells, tidying up the grammar in letters — I'm in it a few times a week, and it's saving me one to three hours.
AI was completely new to me. The biggest takeaway was that it can genuinely help on a big project and save a lot of time.
