Leadership for one quarter
I take responsibility for an agreed product, market-entry or business role for 90 days.
You may be defining a product, preparing to enter a market or looking for someone to lead a product line, business or executive team for a period. I can take responsibility for that area for 90 days. Before starting, we agree what I will lead, what I can decide and which people and resources are available.
I work alongside your team and contribute to research, material and decisions as well as managing the work. We review progress throughout the three months, adjust priorities as we learn and prepare a handover with the next quarter’s priorities.
I can lead a function, a product or the overall business. We agree the breadth, authority and resources so the role fits the stated time allocation.
Who will own the product priorities and connect them to the business case?
I research users, help shape the product experience, write requirements and lead reviews with design and development. I contribute to the brief and user testing, checking technical choices against customer needs and the business model. The handover includes product decisions, next-quarter priorities and a regular process for reviews.
Who will lead the launch or market test?
I research buyers, adapt the product explanation and offer, and lead the agreed launch or test. Alongside coordinating people and channels, I contribute to pages, content and customer conversations. Your team receives the improved material, market evidence, spending priorities and ongoing responsibilities.
Who will take responsibility for the overall direction during this period?
I work through the business model, budgets, priorities and operating decisions. I lead the management team and coordinate product, marketing and delivery, while contributing to analysis and resolving agreed issues. The handover includes a business plan, clear responsibilities and next-quarter operating priorities.
I get to know the area, your team and the evidence already available. We agree goals, authority, information access and the people involved. I establish regular team meetings and progress reviews, and begin the practical work during the first month.
I manage the agreed area, coordinate your team and contribute directly to the work. We review completed changes, open questions, blockers and next actions. I adjust priorities as customer, product and market evidence comes in, with a monthly checkpoint to review progress against the mandate.
I review progress against the agreed responsibilities, complete the handover and prepare the next-quarter plan. Your team receives completed material, decisions, named responsibilities and maintenance instructions. Monthly checkpoints have a proposed five-business-day review window. We agree any extension separately.
Yes. I can lead a product or function, or take responsibility for overall business direction and the executive team. We need to agree the authority, people and resources before starting. The 24-hour weekly allocation stays the same, so the breadth of the role needs to fit it.
It is an operating role with responsibility for the agreed remit. I research, write, analyse, lead reviews, coordinate people and contribute directly to the work. We define the role around the responsibility your company needs someone to take on.
Yes, if they belong to one coherent business or executive role. We agree the breadth, priorities and team support within the stated allocation. It cannot provide the capacity of three independent full-time leaders.
Someone available for decisions reserved to the company, access to relevant information and people, and the agreed team and resources. Before starting, we confirm which decisions I can make and where specialists need to be involved.
You receive the completed work, decisions and their reasons, clear responsibilities and a next-quarter plan. Depending on the mandate, this may include product priorities, launch material and market evidence, or a business plan and operating priorities. A complete product built by me alone or a guaranteed commercial result is outside this commitment.
Yes, by agreement. We can discuss another interim period or a lighter role. Work needing more than 24 hours a week or different coverage requires a separate arrangement; the listed fee covers the stated allocation.
Focused work over three weeks
For an established company with a product, offer or market question that needs focused work. I review one area, help make the agreed changes and prepare a 90-day continuation plan with your team.
Preparation, workshop and written follow-up
I research one company question beforehand, then work through the options with your team. You receive a recommendation, working material and the assumptions to check. The question can be about AI, a product application or a business decision.
Workshops for teams and groups
Workshops with collaborators, including Matis Metsala, for companies and participant groups exploring AI-assisted discovery, sales and procurement. We use business examples to check information, assess costs and risks, and prepare next actions.
Tell me about the situation and the material you already have. We can use a 25-minute conversation to assess fit, scope and the people needed before you commit to the work.
