Three ways to work with us.

Engagements are structured into three formats — each calibrated to a different question a leadership team is asking. The work is sector-agnostic; the discipline is not. We will tell you, plainly, which format fits your situation.

Tier I — Entry Point

Performance Diagnostic

A structured, time-boxed assessment. Answers the question: what is actually going on, and what should we do about it? All TerraDynamic engagements begin here.

What’s included

On-site fieldwork and stakeholder interviews
Operational, governance, and systems review
Prioritised constraint map & risk register
Quick-win interventions delivered during the engagement
Written report, executive brief, and 90-day roadmap
Honest recommendation on whether to proceed

Best for

Boards inheriting a complex asset or programme
Owners considering acquisition or restructure
Teams stuck without a shared picture of the problem

Typical duration: 2–4 weeks. Fixed scope, fixed fee.

Tier II

Implementation Partnership

Embedded delivery alongside your team. Answers the question: how do we actually get this done, to standard?

What’s included

Sequenced implementation plan with named owners
On-site presence at agreed cadence (weekly to monthly)
Operating-standard documentation and capability build
Direct support for field leadership and decision-making
Systems integration, data infrastructure, and digital reporting where the engagement requires it
Quarterly performance reviews tied to baseline

Best for

Programmes mid-flight that have lost momentum
New leadership teams inheriting unfinished work
Owners unwilling to hand the reins to a generalist firm

Typical duration: 6–18 months. Retainer plus milestone fees.

Tier III

Strategic Performance Advisory

Senior counsel for owners and boards. Answers the question: are we still solving the right problem?

What’s included

Standing advisory relationship at principal level
Periodic strategic review of the programme or portfolio
Independent perspective on management performance
Confidential sounding board on critical decisions
Selective field visits where the question warrants it

Best for

Owners of multi-site or multi-programme operations
Family offices or foundations holding ecological assets
Boards wanting a senior, candid second opinion

Typical duration: 12 months, renewing. Annual retainer.

How to choose

Match the tier to the question.

Most clients begin with a diagnostic and decide together whether deeper work is warranted. We don’t up-sell — and we’ll decline the work if a tier isn’t the right fit.

Start with Tier I if…

You suspect the picture leadership has of the situation may not match the field. The diagnostic gives you that, fast.

Move to Tier II if…

You know what needs to change, but you do not have the senior bench-strength to drive change at standard.

Hold Tier III if…

You want continuity of judgement across years, not a transactional engagement that ends with a deliverable.

What we will not do

The discipline cuts both ways.

We are clear about the work we are not the right firm for — and equally clear about declining work that does not meet our standards.

One-day workshops or thought-leadership theatre
Strategy decks divorced from delivery responsibility
Large-team, junior-staffed engagements
Greenwashing or compliance-only programmes
Work where ecological outcomes are framed as a marketing asset
Engagements where the client will not hear hard findings
