Quicker onboarding

Quicken your employees' time to value by giving them clear documented information about your services. Outputs can be easily added to your latest training materials or act as the beginning of your training enablement.

More cohesive portfolio

Reviewing your portfolio as a whole ensures you maintain a cohesive portfolio that ties back to the overall company strategy. This helps with messaging, upsell and cross-sell opportunities, and future services planning and development.

The Workshop Experience

We bring together delivery, sales, and marketing to review all aspects of current service offerings and any future considerations.

The outcome of the workshop will provide sales and marketing with a clear understanding of your services as well as create a starting point for services portfolio planning. Workshops can be done in person or virtually. Our discussions will lead to documented answers to questions like:

• "What are your core services?"
• "How are you different?"
• "How do your core services map to your business strategy?"
• "What business impact do you create for your customers?"
