Why Horizon
The principles behind every engagement
Practical over theoretical
Recommendations are built to be implemented by your team with the resources you have, not filed away in a binder.
Honest, direct counsel
We tell you what we see, including the hard parts. You get an objective outside view, not what you want to hear.
Transparent pricing
Fees are agreed before work begins. No surprise invoices and no open-ended hourly billing.
Built to last without us
We document, train and hand over, so the improvements keep working long after the engagement ends.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
What happens in the free consultation?
It's a 30-minute conversation about your business, the challenge you're facing and what success would look like. If we're a good fit, we'll follow up with a written proposal outlining scope, timeline and fees. There's no obligation.
How much does consulting cost?
It depends on scope. Workshops and project engagements are quoted as a fixed fee, and retainers are a set monthly amount. You'll see the full cost in writing before any work begins.
Do you work with businesses outside our area?
Yes. Most engagements combine virtual sessions with on-site visits where they add value, so we can support clients wherever they're based.
How involved does our team need to be?
Expect a few hours a week from key leaders during discovery, then regular check-ins. We work to keep demands on your team reasonable while the business keeps running.
Is our information kept confidential?
Always. We're happy to sign a non-disclosure agreement before any detailed discussion, and client information is never shared without permission.
