Executive Advisory Retainer
Your Current Situation
You have a high-level role within your organization. You’re good at your job, but there are moments - sometimes weekly, sometimes at 2pm on a Tuesday as you struggle with a critical business decision - when you wish you could pick up the phone and talk to someone who has been in your position.
A supplier’s quality issues are disrupting your operations and you need to decide quickly: intervene directly, qualify an alternative source, or escalate to your leadership. Your quality metrics are trending in the wrong direction and you’re not sure if it’s a process issue, a people issue, or a supplier issue. You’re preparing for a major customer audit and you need someone to pressure-test your readiness honestly, not politely. You’re redesigning a process and you want to get it right the first time, instead of moving too fast and setting your organization up for failure.
You don’t need a comprehensive project plan. You need 30 minutes with the right person to talk through your situation. The problem is that this person doesn’t exist on your team, you can’t justify hiring someone full-time, and by the time you engage a consulting firm, the moment has passed.
What This Is
The Executive Advisory Retainer gives you ongoing access to a senior expert in quality systems, process improvement, and supplier risk management. Think of it as having a fractional VP of Supplier Quality and Operational Excellence on call to help you make better decisions, faster.
This isn’t coaching. It isn’t mentoring. It’s operational expertise delivered in real time, when the stakes are high and you need a clear-eyed perspective from someone who has been in your seat.
How It Works
Each month includes two scheduled strategy calls (60 minutes each) plus priority access for time-sensitive questions via phone or email. You set the agenda based on whatever is most pressing. Some months, that is a deep dive into a supplier situation. Other months, it’s a quick gut-check on a decision you’re about to make.
Focused Expertise, Not General Advice
This retainer is specifically focused on quality systems, process improvement, and supplier and quality risk management. That focus is what makes it valuable - you’re not getting a generalist’s opinion. Unlike one-off consulting calls, a retainer means we learn your operation, your team, your suppliers, and your challenges over time. The guidance gets sharper every month as we build context and a trusted advisory relationship.
Next Step
Let’s discuss what you are dealing with right now, the decisions you are navigating, the gaps on your team - the challenges that would be easier to think through with the right person to call. If it makes sense for your needs, we will design a retainer that fits your current reality.
