Saltgrove consulting solutions

On what we offer

Three engagements. Each defined. Each priced.

All three are structured around a clear scope, a fixed price, and a written deliverable. They are available individually and are not designed as a sequence.

On methodology

How Saltgrove structures its work

Every engagement begins with an initial conversation — typically thirty minutes — where we talk through the organisation's situation and whether any of the three engagements would be useful. If the fit is reasonable, we agree on scope, schedule, and price before any work begins.

Each engagement type follows a consistent structure: a preparation phase, one or more working sessions, and a written output. The preparation phase is not ceremonial. We spend time reading background materials, thinking about the questions worth asking, and designing sessions that make room for honest conversation.

The written output closes every engagement. We treat it as the primary deliverable — not a record of what was said in sessions, but a considered document that reflects what we observed and what we think is worth the client's attention. Documents go through internal review before delivery.

Engagement 01

Cross-Functional Coordination Review

A two-to-three-week engagement for organisations where two or more departments need to work more closely on a shared body of work. The consultant interviews leads from each side, maps the points of overlap and handoff, and writes up the observations in a short report. The report includes suggested coordination practices — joint reviews, shared logs, paired check-ins — that the client's leadership can consider.

Designed for organisations with 30 to 300 staff and at least two clearly distinct functional areas.

What the engagement includes

  • Interviews with leads from each relevant department
  • Mapping of shared work, handoff points, and friction areas
  • Short written report with observations and practical suggestions
  • Optional follow-up call to discuss the report

Typical process

1.

Initial conversation to confirm scope and identify the relevant departments

2.

Background review and interview scheduling (days 1–3)

3.

Interviews with department leads (days 4–10)

4.

Analysis and report preparation (days 11–15)

5.

Report delivered and walkthrough offered

Cross-functional coordination review
The report does not recommend restructuring. It focuses on coordination practices — things teams can try without changing who reports to whom.
Stakeholder mapping engagement
Useful for organisations entering a new phase, considering a partnership, or simply wanting a clearer picture of who they work with and how.

Engagement 02

Stakeholder Mapping Engagement

A focused engagement to help a leadership team think clearly about their external stakeholder landscape — funders, suppliers, partner organisations, community groups, regulators in non-regulated business areas. The consultant runs one or two working sessions, produces a visual stakeholder map and a short narrative document describing the relationships and current state of each one.

Available as a standalone engagement for any organisation size.

What the engagement includes

  • One or two working sessions with the leadership team
  • Visual stakeholder map produced during or after sessions
  • Narrative document describing each relationship and its current state
  • Practical notes on relationships worth developing or monitoring

Typical process

1.

Initial conversation to understand the stakeholder landscape broadly

2.

Preparation and session design

3.

Working session(s) with leadership group

4.

Map and narrative document produced

5.

Documents delivered, walkthrough offered

Engagement 03

Annual Planning Facilitation

A multi-day facilitation engagement spanning preparation, two working sessions, and a written follow-up. The consultant works with the leadership group to design a planning conversation suited to the year ahead, gathers pre-reading from internal sources, runs the working sessions on dates agreed with the client, and produces a tidy planning summary at the end.

Recommended for established teams that have completed a planning cycle before and want focused external help to run the next one well.

What the engagement includes

  • Pre-session preparation: gathering pre-reading, designing the session
  • Two facilitated working sessions with the leadership group
  • Tidy planning summary produced after sessions
  • Optional brief follow-up conversation four to six weeks later

Typical process

1.

Initial conversation: session dates, participants, scope of planning

2.

Pre-reading collection and session design (1–2 weeks)

3.

Session one: context-setting and priority discussion

4.

Session two: decisions and commitments for the year ahead

5.

Planning summary delivered within one week of second session

Annual planning facilitation
The planning summary is designed to be a working document — something the team can use during the year, not just a record of what was said in the room.

On shared standards

What applies across all three engagements

Confidentiality as standard

All information shared during the engagement is held in confidence. We can sign a mutual confidentiality agreement before work begins.

Internal review before delivery

Every written output is reviewed by another team member before it leaves our hands. We do not send first drafts to clients.

Delivery dates held

Agreed delivery dates are treated as commitments. If something changes on our side, we communicate early.

Senior-led throughout

The consultant leading the engagement is the one doing the work — not delegating to junior staff once the contract is signed.

Fixed price from the start

No hourly billing, no variable fees. The price is agreed before work starts and does not change unless the scope changes, and only with mutual agreement.

Self-contained outputs

Deliverables are designed to be useful without further engagement. We do not structure outputs to make follow-on work feel necessary.

On pricing

Engagement fees

All prices are fixed per engagement and inclusive of preparation, sessions, and written deliverables. Prices are in Thai Baht and do not include VAT where applicable.

Questions about scope or fit?

The initial conversation is the right place to work out whether an engagement makes sense. It costs nothing and carries no obligation.
