Service 1: Business Analysis & Process Improvement Consulting
Headline
Turn chaos into clarity – I map your processes, identify what’s broken, and deliver a practical roadmap to fix it.
About This Service
You know your operations could be smoother, but you’re too close to the problem to see the root cause. I step in as an independent consultant to document your current state, find bottlenecks, and give you clear, actionable recommendations. I don’t just hand over a report – I give you tools your team can use the next day, like SOPs, swimlane diagrams, and a prioritized list of improvements.
What’s Included
Discovery sessions with your team (up to 3 stakeholders)
Current‑state process maps (swimlane diagrams in Visio/Lucidchart)
Gap analysis: what’s working, what’s not, and why
Future‑state recommendations with quick wins and long‑term fixes
Written SOPs or process guides for your revised workflows
One 30‑minute walkthrough presentation of findings
Ideal For
Small businesses, growing teams, or departments inside larger organizations that have outgrown their ad‑hoc processes and need structure – fast.
Introductory Pricing
Fixed‑price: $150 – $250 per end‑to‑end process (depending on complexity)
Hourly: $20 – $25 / hour for ongoing advisory work
Timeline: 1 – 2 weeks per process
Service 2: Program & Project Management Advisory
Headline
I keep your high‑stakes projects on track – from milestone planning to stakeholder updates, I handle the coordination so you can focus on the big picture.
About This Service
You have a critical initiative and no dedicated project manager. I act as your embedded Project Coordinator or Program Manager, setting up the tracking systems, running the meetings, and flagging risks before they become fires. You get weekly dashboards, a clear action log, and the peace of mind that nothing is falling through the cracks.
What’s Included
Project charter and milestone plan (MS Project, Excel, or your preferred tool)
RAID log (risks, assumptions, issues, dependencies)
Weekly project health dashboards (Power BI, Tableau, or Excel)
Meeting facilitation: agendas, minutes, and follow‑up on action items
Stakeholder communication: status updates, executive summaries, and presentations
Post‑implementation lessons learned report
Ideal For
Small to mid‑sized companies running transformation projects, system rollouts, or cross‑functional programs that need a structured approach but don’t have a dedicated PMO.
Introductory Pricing
Monthly retainer: $300 – $500 / month (for part‑time, ongoing support)
Hourly: $20 – $25 / hour
Timeline: Ongoing or fixed‑term (3 – 12 months)
Service 3: Data Analysis & Reporting Strategy
Headline
I turn your messy spreadsheets into clear, decision‑ready dashboards – so you can stop guessing and start acting on real data.
About This Service
Your data lives in too many places – Excel files, CRM systems, accounting tools – and you struggle to get a clear picture of what’s happening. I consolidate, clean, and analyze your data, then build interactive dashboards that answer the questions you actually care about. I also document the process so your team can maintain it after I’m gone.
What’s Included
Data discovery session: what are you trying to measure, and why?
Data cleaning and consolidation from up to 3 sources
Custom dashboard build (Power BI, Tableau, or advanced Excel)
KPI definition and metric selection aligned to your business goals
User documentation and a 30‑minute training session for your team
One round of revisions based on your feedback
Ideal For
Business owners, operations managers, and marketing teams who need to track performance, spot trends, and make faster decisions but lack the time or technical skills to build the reports themselves.
Introductory Pricing
Fixed‑price: $150 – $300 per dashboard (depending on data complexity)
Hourly: $20 – $25 / hour
Timeline: 5 – 10 business days
