The ongoing senior practitioner partnership that sustains the operating model.
Three tiers. Monthly or weekly cadence. Reserved for clients who have completed a Diagnostic and typically a Transformation. The partnership that keeps the architecture working.
After the Transformation. When the operating model needs to evolve.
Most consulting engagements end at the deliverable. The report is signed off and the firm exits. Six months later the operating model has drifted. Personnel turns over. The CRM gets reconfigured by someone who did not understand the original architecture. The discipline erodes, and the investment does not compound.
The Embedded Practice solves this. It keeps the architecture working, evolves it as business needs change, and ensures the methodology compounds rather than erodes. It is the relationship most firms in the category cannot offer, because project based fee models have no incentive to sustain anything.
Every Embedded Practice begins with a Snapshot.
Engagements proceed through the Diagnostic and Transformation. The Embedded Practice is the natural continuation, not the entry point.
