Three services,
each with a clear purpose
The services at Orin Strand were each designed to address a specific kind of need. They can be taken separately or run alongside one another depending on where your organisation is.
Our Approach
How the work gets done
Each engagement begins with a direct conversation about what the client is actually dealing with. There is no intake questionnaire, no scoping document to complete first. The conversation itself is where we establish whether and how to proceed.
Once an engagement is underway, the method is determined by the service. Founder Conversations follow the client's agenda in a one-hour session. The Capability Map proceeds through a structured sequence of interviews, work review, and written synthesis. The Reading List is assembled monthly based on the client's stated questions and updated understanding of their situation.
All work is handled directly by one practitioner. Deliverables meet the standard we would apply to our own communications. Timelines are agreed at the start of each engagement and respected.
Service 01
Founder Conversation Series
A set of recurring one-hour conversations with a founder on operational questions of their choosing — staffing decisions, partnership structure, communication with the board, or the texture of the working week. The conversations are confidential and do not produce written deliverables unless asked.
- Agenda set by the founder at the start of each session
- Conversations held in person (KL) or by video call
- Cadence flexible — weekly, fortnightly, or monthly
- Notes available on request after each session

Service 02
Capability Map for a Function
An engagement that produces a written map of what a specific function — say, marketing, operations, or product — needs to be able to do well, and how its current shape compares. The consultant interviews function leaders and adjacent functions, reviews recent work, and writes a capability map with strengths and thinner areas.
- Interviews with function leaders and adjacent teams
- Review of recent work samples and outputs
- Written map covering strengths, gaps, and context
- Delivery in 3–4 weeks from engagement start

Service 03
Reading List Curation
A small, recurring service in which the consultant prepares a monthly reading list of articles, books, and reports relevant to a single leader's current questions. Each list is annotated with short notes on what is useful in each piece and what to skip.
- 5–8 items per monthly list, sized to a busy schedule
- Each item annotated with a specific reading note
- Built around your stated questions, not a general digest
- Brief monthly check-in to update context (15 min)

Standards
What applies across all three services
Confidentiality
All information shared in any engagement is held strictly. No client or engagement content is referenced externally.
No conflicts of interest
We do not take on clients in direct competition with existing ones, and any potential conflict is declared before work begins.
Schedule reliability
Sessions begin on time. Deliverables are ready when agreed. Rescheduling requests are handled within 24 hours.
Writing quality
Written outputs — capability maps and reading annotations — are produced with care. They are clear, honest, and useful rather than comprehensive for its own sake.
Defined scope
Each service has a clear scope. Extensions are agreed separately. We do not expand work without a direct conversation about what that means for time and cost.
Transparent invoicing
Invoices are issued electronically in RM with 14-day terms. No hidden fees or charges that were not discussed at the start of the engagement.
