PortuguêsOne operational problem, fixed properly.
For owners who don’t have the bandwidth to sort an operational issue themselves or with their internal team, and need a short-term engagement with an external partner. I deliver micro consulting through my company, NabiaEdge, and everything about it, including how to start, lives on the NabiaEdge website.
A sharp, bounded engagement around one problem.
You know something needs fixing, but neither you nor your team has the time to fix it. A process that keeps breaking, a workflow nobody can explain, a bottleneck that runs through you and only you. As an external partner, micro consulting isolates that one problem, fixes it, and hands your team a documented system they can run without you in the room.
No long programme and no strategy overhaul. Just the day-to-day operation no longer depending on the founder’s memory.
Four steps. One clear fix.
Diagnostic
Isolate the specific problem and map where it costs you time, money or control.
Redesign
Rebuild and standardise the workflow, and write it down.
Handover
Your team runs the new system with a clear standard operating procedure.
Check
A short follow-up to confirm the fix holds under real conditions.
Micro consulting or Biz Ops Advisory.
Micro consulting fixes one part of the operation. Biz Ops Advisory changes how the whole business is run, so it stops depending on you.
Micro consulting
- Best when
- You know what’s broken (onboarding, creative-to-production handoffs, approvals or reporting), but you and your team don’t have the bandwidth to fix it.
- Scope
- One operational problem.
- Length
- A short-term engagement with an external partner.
- You get
- A redesigned, documented workflow your team runs without you.
Biz Ops Advisory
- Best when
- The whole business runs through you, and fixing one process won’t change that.
- Scope
- All three pillars of the Vessel Operating System: direction and people, systems and cash, and revenue and customers.
- Length
- A 12-week programme on a fixed cadence.
- You get
- A tracked 90-day plan, accountability every session, and a business that doesn’t need you in every decision.
