You know you're wasting time. But do you know exactly where and how much?

Every growing business hits a ceiling where manual admin, disconnected tools, and "the way we've always done it" start to throttle growth. You feel the friction, the late nights, the dropped leads, the copy-pasting between spreadsheets, but pinpointing the root cause is difficult when you are trapped in the daily grind.

Software alone isn't the fix. If you automate a broken process, you just get chaos faster. Before you invest in technology, you need a clear, expert diagnosis.

A Strategic Diagnosis, Not a Sales Call

The Productivity Consultation, is our signature entry point service. It is not a casual chat; it is a structured, 90-minute collaborative working session designed to dissect a specific area of your business operation.

Guided by a Process Forge expert, we will peel back the layers of your current workflow to reveal hidden inefficiencies costing you money. We don't just identify

Built for the Business Leader Who Wants a Roadmap

This service is built for UK SMB owners and Operations Managers who are past the point of vague frustration and are ready to take action. It is for you if:

  • You are data-driven: You want to see the ROI before you commit to a large project.
  • You value expertise: You understand that Process First design prevents costly mistakes later.
  • You have a specific pain: e.g., "It takes us 3 weeks to onboard a new client", or "We are losing leads because we follow up too slowly".
  • You want a plan, not just a pitch: You want a roadmap you can trust, whether you build it with us or not.

Eliminate the Friction. Reclaim Your Time.

You are one session away from a clear plan to fix your biggest operational headache.

What Happens During the 90 Minutes?

We follow a strict Process First methodology to ensure every minute delivers value.

  1. The Deep Dive (30 Mins): We strip your chosen process down to the studs. Who does what? Where does the data go? We look for the shadow processes, the Post-it notes and mental checklists that aren't written down.
  2. The visual Mapping (30 Mins): Using collaborative tools, we map the workflow visually in real-time. You will see your process laid out clearly, often revealing bottlenecks you didn't know existed.
  3. The Friction Calculation (15 Mins): We do the math. We calculate the hours wasted and multiply them by your team's hourly rate to show you the true annual cost of the status quo.
  4. The Solution Design (15 Mins): We sketch the future state. We outline how automation and integration could remove the friction and what the new streamlined process would look like.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't we just have a free chat?

Absolutely. We offer a 15-minute Fit Assessment Call to ensure we are the right partner for you. But the Productivity Consultation is a rigorous professional service that produces a strategic asset for your business. We charge for it because it delivers tangible value, independently of any future work.

Do I need to be tech savvy?

Not at all. That's our job. You just need to be the expert on your business; we will translate your needs into technical architecture.

What if you can't help me?

Our Fit Assessment is designed to prevent this. However, if during our consultation we find a problem we simply cannot fix (like a pure HR issue), we will refund you in full. If the problem is complex or unclear, we will take the time to research it further and present a complete solution in your Findings and Recommendations document.

Do I need to prepare anything beforehand?

Very little. We will send you a short questionnaire to gather basic context, but you don't need to create flowcharts or gather data. The consultation is designed to extract that information from you in real-time. Just bring yourself and honest feedback about what's not working.

What happens after the consultation?

Within 3 business days, you will receive your Findings and Recommendations document. We will then schedule a brief call to walk you through it. At that point, you can choose to hire us to build the solution, or take the plan and implement it yourself. The choice is entirely yours.
