We've sat on both sides of the consulting table — as buyers and as deliverers — and we've rebuilt the model around what we wished we could buy. Senior operators only. Time-boxed diagnostics. Fixed fees where we can. No 60-page slide reports nobody reads.
We don't write proposals based on vibes. The first phase is always a short, fixed-fee diagnostic: interviews with 8–15 stakeholders, hands-on review of your data and systems, and a sized opportunity map. If the problem isn't worth solving — or we're not the right firm — we tell you. Most diagnostics end with a short, blunt readout and a clear yes/no recommendation.
The diagnostic identified the highest-leverage move. Now we build it. One business unit, one product line, one use case — not the whole enterprise. Time-boxed by design: if we can't generate measurable value in 16 weeks, the answer is to stop, not to extend. Pilots that work get scaled in Phase 03. Pilots that don't get a clear post-mortem.
Roll the proven capability across business units, geographies, or categories — while standing up the internal team that will own it after we leave. We design every engagement to make ourselves unnecessary on a defined date. A meaningful portion of Phase 03 fees can be tied to measured outcomes (working capital release, forecast accuracy, cycle time) when the metric is cleanly attributable.
Send juniors to do the thinking and partners to do the steering.
Every GlobalSCM engagement is staffed with senior practitioners. If a 26-year-old is doing your inventory optimization, you should know that — and not from us.
Sell strategy we can't execute.
If we can't deliver the next phase ourselves, we won't sell you the slide that points to it. No bait-and-switch.
Pretend an AI strategy needs a steering committee.
Roadmaps that need governance theater to read are roadmaps that won't ship. One page, three to five use cases, sized in dollars.
Resell software as strategy.
We take no fees, kickbacks, or referral arrangements from technology vendors. When we recommend a tool, the only thing in it for us is being right.
Extend an engagement that isn't working.
Time-boxes are real. If a phase isn't producing value, we stop and tell you why — we don't propose a sequel.
Start with a fixed-fee diagnostic.
Always. Same scope, same price, same blunt readout. You should never write a six- or seven-figure check before knowing what we actually think.
Put a number on every recommendation.
Working capital released. Days of cycle time. Margin protected. Forecast points gained. If we can't put a number on it, it's not a recommendation — it's an opinion.
Build the internal team that replaces us.
Every engagement has a defined transfer plan. We name your internal owner on day one and design the work around their growth.
Tie a portion of fees to measured outcomes.
Where the metric is clean and attributable, we put skin in the game. Not on every engagement — but on the ones where we should.
Tell you when we're not the right firm.
Some problems need a big-three name on the deck. Some need a software implementer. Some don't need a consultant at all. We'll route you, not bill you.
SAP IBP. Oracle. Blue Yonder. Kinaxis. o9. Anaplan.
Deep on IBP in particular — we don't try to rip out your investment, we make it work harder. Where you've outgrown your platform, we'll say so.
Snowflake. Databricks. BigQuery. Power BI. Tableau. dbt.
We build for your warehouse, not against it. Most CPG shops are Power BI + Snowflake or Databricks — we work natively in that stack.
Anthropic. OpenAI. Azure OpenAI. Vertex. Open-source models when they fit.
Vendor-neutral on principle. We design for portability so you're never locked into a model provider's pricing whim.
SAP S/4. NetSuite. Manhattan. Körber. JDA.
We don't implement ERP. We do design the operational processes that ride on it — and we work alongside your SI partner without stepping on toes.
Four weeks. Fixed fee. Senior team. A blunt readout and a clear yes/no recommendation. If we're not the right firm, you'll know — and you'll know fast.
