ClarveniWeekly decision briefs for business leaders Weekly Brief: Westbridge Advisory --------------------------------- Week ending 25 SEPTEMBER ### The big picture A fixed-fee diagnostic changes how prospects can begin a consulting relationship. Review the first step in Westbridge’s own offer. A client’s acquisition creates a separate question about integration support. ### Major developments 1. 1 #### Make the first yes easier for your next client. ● High priority · Linden Consulting · competitor · pricing What changed Linden introduced a fixed-fee operations diagnostic: two workshops and a written action plan for £2,500. Why it matters A defined first step may feel easier to buy than an open-ended consulting engagement. Westbridge can test whether a clearer entry offer helps prospects understand its value. What to do next Compare the published scope with your own first engagement. Ask the team to cost a focused diagnostic, then test the proposition in prospect conversations before changing the wider service.

Why it matters Combining teams could raise questions about processes, reporting and responsibilities, which fit Westbridge’s expertise. What to do next Ask the relationship owner how integration is being organised and where the team needs help. Shape a proposal only after understanding the work already assigned.

Explanations What each suggested response rests on. -------------------------------------- The delivered email gives each response in prose, under What to do next. The notes below explain it: what the suggested response means, what would change the assessment or what remains uncertain, and what the evidence does and does not show. These explanations are not part of the emailed brief. 1. ### [1. Make the first yes easier for your next client.](#insight-competitor-fixed-fee-diagnostic) Suggested response **Act.** A specific next step is justified. Linden has published the format and price, which gives Westbridge a specific offer to compare against and test with a few prospects. What remains uncertain Demand, delivery margin and conversion into longer engagements need testing. Evidence and limitations Linden’s announcement confirms the diagnostic’s format and fixed fee. It does not show how many clients have bought it or what they made of it. [Read source note E1](#source-e1) 2. ### [2. Find out where the integration needs an outside hand.](#insight-customer-acquisition) Suggested response **Verify.** Resolve an identified uncertainty before drawing a stronger conclusion. The acquisition is public but its effect on how the firm buys advice is not, so the account team should ask before pitching. What remains uncertain Integration scope, external support and budget are not public. Evidence and limitations Bellamy’s announcement confirms the acquisition and the combined client-services team. It does not say how the enlarged firm will choose its advisers.
