Services
Four services. Fixed fees. Clear scope from the start.
Each engagement is designed around a specific type of need, with a stated duration, a fixed fee, and a written description of what is and is not included.
Back to home01 — Overview
What is available and how to read it
The four services below address different situations. You may find one that corresponds closely to what you are dealing with, or you may find that a conversation is the more useful starting point. Either is fine — there is no obligation to have a service already in mind when you get in touch.
All fees are in Japanese yen and are inclusive of session notes and any follow-up correspondence within the engagement scope. They do not include travel outside the Fukuoka city area or specialist subcontractors, neither of which are typically required.
02 — Service 01
First Hundred Days Support
¥42,000 JPY · 12 weeks · Fortnightly sessions
Structured support for a newly appointed director or department head. The first three months in a new role involve an unusual concentration of decisions — about priorities, about relationships, about what to change and what to leave — made with incomplete information and often without enough time to think them through properly.
This engagement provides a structured outside perspective on that period. Fortnightly sessions over twelve weeks. Suited to internal promotions and external appointments in equal measure.
What is included
-
Six fortnightly sessions, each approximately ninety minutes
-
An independent view of the function's current state at the start of the engagement
-
Session notes circulated within two working days of each session
-
Full confidentiality regarding all content discussed
-
Availability for brief questions between sessions by email
Who this is for
Directors and department heads who are new to a position — whether promoted from inside or appointed from outside — and who want structured support through the period when the most consequential early decisions are being made.
03 — Service 02
Sales Process Consultation
¥33,000 JPY · 4 weeks · With commercial team
A review of how opportunities move from first contact to agreement. Most sales processes that underperform do so not because the activity is insufficient, but because the activity is concentrated at the wrong stages — too much time spent on prospects unlikely to conclude, too little attention to where deals actually stall.
Four weeks with the commercial team and a sample of recent records. Intended for companies whose activity level is reasonable but whose conversion has not kept pace with it.
What is included
-
Review sessions with the commercial team over four weeks
-
Examination of a sample of recent opportunities, both concluded and lost
-
A mapped process with measured durations by stage
-
An honest assessment of forecast reliability
-
Adjustments that do not require additional headcount to implement
Who this is for
Companies where commercial activity is present but conversion is inconsistent, where the pipeline feels full but the close rate does not reflect that, or where internal forecasting is difficult to rely on.
04 — Service 03
Advisory Retainer
¥37,000 JPY / month · Two sessions + availability · 3-month minimum
A monthly arrangement providing a consistent outside perspective for leadership discussion. Structured as two scheduled sessions each month, with availability for shorter questions between them. Topics follow what the company is facing rather than a predetermined agenda.
Appropriate for owners and directors who do not have a board or peer group to discuss decisions with, and who find that having a standing outside voice is more useful than periodic project-based engagements.
What is included
-
Two scheduled sessions per month, each approximately sixty to ninety minutes
-
Availability for shorter questions by email between sessions
-
Continuity with the same adviser across the full arrangement
-
Notes after each session, circulated within two working days
-
One month's notice ends the arrangement after the three-month minimum term
Who this is for
Owners and directors who want a standing outside perspective rather than a project-based engagement — particularly those who find that the situations requiring outside input arrive regularly rather than all at once.
05 — Service 04
Change Preparation Workshop
¥39,000 JPY · 2-day workshop · On site · + 3-month review
A two-day facilitated workshop for management teams preparing to introduce a significant internal change. The design is practical: it works through what will be affected, who carries the additional load, what staff are likely to raise in response, and how progress will be judged.
Delivered on site. Followed by a review session scheduled three months after the workshop, to examine how the preparation held up against what actually happened.
What is included
-
Preparatory conversations with each participant before the workshop
-
Two full days of facilitated workshop, delivered on the client's premises
-
A written implementation outline produced during the workshop itself
-
A review session three months after the workshop to examine what held and what changed
Who this is for
Management teams facing a significant internal change — a structural reorganisation, a new system or process, a shift in team composition — who want to prepare for it properly rather than manage the consequences of insufficient preparation.
06 — Choosing
If you are not sure which fits
You have just taken on a new role
The First Hundred Days support is likely the most relevant starting point. The fortnightly cadence and twelve-week structure maps to the period when the most consequential early decisions are made.
Your sales activity is high but results are inconsistent
The Sales Process Consultation is a four-week engagement focused specifically on this. It examines where deals stall, how accurate your forecasting is, and where effort is being spent on prospects unlikely to conclude.
You want a standing outside perspective over time
The Advisory Retainer is a monthly arrangement that provides continuity. It works best when the client expects a regular flow of situations requiring outside input, rather than a single defined project.
A significant change is approaching
The Change Preparation Workshop is designed for management teams that know change is coming and want to prepare for it properly. The two-day format and the three-month follow-up session are both part of the engagement.
If none of these map precisely to your situation, a conversation is the more useful starting point. Describe what you are dealing with and we can identify whether any of the existing services fits, or whether a different approach makes more sense.
07 — Get in touch
No obligation to have it all figured out first
Send a note with a brief description of your situation. We will reply with a direct response and, if it seems useful, suggest a first conversation. There is no sales process at our end.
