myAI Scouts
Sent to all client-side stakeholders before a consulting, strategy, or agency engagement begins. The client is a mid-market company (100–500 employees) in professional services, financial services, or technology. Stakeholders use tools like Slack or Teams for communication, Notion or Confluence for documentation, and PowerPoint or Google Slides for internal presentations. The engagement involves process redesign, strategic recommendations, or tool implementation delivered over 8–16 weeks with milestone reviews, stakeholder workshops using Miro, and a final recommendation deck. Findings shape the kickoff agenda, workstream design, and stakeholder management plan before day one.
What success looks like from their seat
Think about a previous project or external engagement in your organisation that felt genuinely successful — what made it work? Based on that, what would make this engagement feel like a success from your specific role and vantage point? The most important thing to understand before day one.
The concern they haven't raised yet
Think about a previous external project that went badly — what went wrong, and do you see any of the same conditions here? What concern about this engagement have you not yet raised formally in a meeting or a Teams/Slack message?
Context the project team needs but won't get in a kickoff
What background — an internal political dynamic, a prior failed initiative, a key relationship, a team constraint — would a good consultant need to know to do their best work here, but might only discover six weeks in without your telling them?
The one thing they most want heard
If you had five uninterrupted minutes with the project lead before work begins, what would you most want them to understand about your situation, your team, or your expectations for how this engagement should run?
