A 30-minute working session, not a sales call.
Every product purchase includes a 30-minute framework application session with Steve Vaile. Bring the specific question the framework raised for your board. The session is used to work through it. If it turns out the question requires a longer engagement, that conversation happens naturally.
Book via the link in your purchase confirmation email.
The frameworks are designed to be worked through independently. For boards that want to work through the questions with someone in the room, the advisory services page describes what that looks like. Board advisory and consulting services →
