How It Works
All activities are completed virtually.
The engagement between your organization and the Consultant team lasts approximately 4-6 weeks. We understand that your time is valuable: the most time-intensive periods for your team members will be completing the initial questionnaires, and participating in 2-3 interviews with the Consultants.
Overall, organizations should expect to dedicate 8–10 hours total, including meetings and providing access to documents and key staff.
All Clinic services to the client are provided free of charge.
