The Challenge

Why This Service Exists

Complex projects require continuity that internal teams, often mobilised on other priorities, cannot always ensure alone.

This service provides a regular external presence, dedicated to maintaining project momentum, preparing decisions and coordinating actors — with the rigour of a strategic PMO.

Typical Flow

How the Retainer Works

1

Initial Scoping

Definition of the intervention scope, periodic deliverables and working rhythm.

2

Project Onboarding

Review of current status, stakeholder mapping, identification of immediate priorities.

3

Cruising Rhythm

Weekly or bi-weekly check-ins, meeting preparation, action tracking and reporting.

4

Review & Adjustment

Monthly review of the arrangement, adjustment of priorities as the context evolves.

Scope limitations

The retainer does not replace a legal or financial mandate. It targets oversight, coordination, preparation quality and execution discipline. All specialised expertise (legal, financial, sectoral) remains mobilised by the client through their own service providers.
