How we engage - We step down as your team, and our agents, take on the work.
Three phases, agreed at the start: full time, then half time, then a quarter of the time, while your team learns to do the work in tandem with our agents.
Three phases, one retainer each
Step 1
Lead the programme
Full time, monthly retainer
- Planning and execution
- orCutover and delivery support
One of two shapes, depending on where the programme is when we arrive. A senior practitioner leads it day to day, and your team works alongside us in atlanticma.ai from the first week.
Step 2
Execution support
Half time, monthly retainer
Your team takes on more of the running of the programme. We support delivery, and stay close to the decisions that protect the deal thesis.
Step 3
Maintenance
A quarter of the time, monthly retainer
Your team runs the programme. We keep a hand on it so value keeps being tracked and nothing drifts.
Why it steps down - Our time falls as your team's capability grows
The point of the engagement is a team that can run the next integration without us. Each phase hands more of the programme to your people, so the retainer steps down with it.
- Lead the programme
- Full time
- Execution support
- Half time
- Maintenance
- A quarter of the time
Agreed at the start - No open-ended engagement
We set the phases, and when each one starts, with you before the engagement begins. You know the shape of the whole engagement, and what it costs, from the start.
- Simple, transparent and predictable pricing. One monthly retainer per phase for our partners' time. Your atlanticma.ai subscription is in your name from the first day, at its published price, so the programme and its data stay yours when we step back.
- Capability built in. Your people work in the programme with us from the first week, so each step down is a hand-over they are ready for.
- Your programme stays yours. The plan, charters and decisions live in atlanticma.ai, which your team keeps using after we step back.
