One important process, documented and ready for your team to use.
When a process lives in one person's head, everyone else has to ask how it works. We help capture the steps, responsibilities and decisions in a practical playbook, then test those instructions against a real example.
Your team repeats the same questions, a handoff is inconsistent, or important knowledge depends on one person. Choose one bounded process, such as handling a new inquiry, preparing a project handoff or checking a recurring deliverable.
Use the engagement to create a small, useful wiki section for one process. We organize the content for an existing suitable wiki or provide portable pages ready to import, and explain how to maintain them. A new wiki platform is not included.
One process, up to two stakeholders and an agreed source-material set. Target completion is within one week after the required inputs and interview availability are in place. Delayed inputs or feedback may change the schedule.
Custom software, integrations, data migration, platform deployment, subscriptions and open-ended archive cleanup are outside this package. Additional processes or substantial scope changes are quoted separately.
Tell us which recurring process you want to improve. We will confirm the scope before the engagement begins.

Give one important software initiative a clear specification and a practical implementation plan.
Before committing to a build or replacement, bring the business and technical stakeholders together. We help clarify what needs to change, document the requirements and prepare the implementation team to move forward.
A software initiative is stalled by unclear requirements, staff and developers have different expectations, or an owner is carrying the entire coordination burden. The engagement focuses on one initiative rather than an audit of the whole business.
One agreed initiative, up to five stakeholders and three relevant systems, with one executive decision-maker. Review uses agreed documentation and read-only access. Target delivery of the brief and handoff is three weeks after access, inputs and stakeholder availability are ready; the plan review has its separate 30-day window.
Production coding, migration, vendor procurement, exhaustive code or security audits, subscriptions and ongoing project management are not included. Additional initiatives or major changes are separately scoped.
You can use the deliverables with your own team or another implementation partner. Ongoing SGS delivery leadership is optional and separately scoped.
Describe the process or initiative. We agree the outcome, boundaries, required inputs and the person who can make decisions.
We meet the relevant people, review the agreed material and turn it into practical documentation and a plan.
We walk through the deliverables, address one consolidated round of feedback and make ownership of any open decisions clear.
No. Workflow Starter produces a usable process playbook. Software Delivery Blueprint prepares a software initiative and includes a guided handoff and one implementation-plan review. Building software or changing production systems requires a separate scope.
No. You can use the deliverables internally or take them to another provider. If you want SGS to guide implementation, we can scope that work separately.
The Starter can be delivered as portable pages without installing a platform. For Blueprint, tell us before booking if you do not have an implementer; we will agree the handoff recipient and arrangements as part of scope. Finding or hiring a vendor is not included.
The one-week and three-week timelines are targets that depend on access, stakeholder availability and timely feedback. We agree readiness before starting and make delays or unresolved decisions visible.
We work through competing needs with your designated decision-maker. Remaining questions and disagreements are recorded with owners rather than hidden. A new process, initiative or major change requires a separate scope; these packages do not include unlimited review cycles.
An illustrative excerpt for a fictional business, showing the form of the work. Real deliverables are written for your process and stay yours.
Decision rule: if the conflict check is unclear, stop and escalate to the managing partner.
