Our Consulting Process

At Ivery Strategy Group, we believe that meaningful strategy begins with understanding. Our process is designed to ensure that every engagement is thoughtful, collaborative, and aligned with the goals of the businesses we serve.

We work closely with clients through a structured consulting approach that moves from discovery and analysis to strategic recommendations and long-term growth planning.

1. Discovery Call

Every engagement begins with a strategy consultation.

This initial conversation allows us to learn more about your business, your current challenges, and the outcomes you are hoping to achieve. It also provides an opportunity for you to learn more about our approach and determine whether our consulting services are the right fit for your needs.

During the discovery call, we may discuss:

• Your business model and service offerings

• Current marketing and brand positioning

• Growth goals and strategic priorities

• Challenges or barriers limiting progress

The goal of this conversation is to identify whether a deeper strategic engagement would provide meaningful value for your business.

2. Determining the Right Fit

Not every consulting engagement is the same, and not every business requires the same level of strategic support.

Following the discovery call, we assess whether our services are well aligned with your needs. If there is a strong fit, we will recommend the most appropriate consulting engagement based on your business objectives.

Our focus is always on ensuring that clients receive thoughtful guidance that genuinely supports their growth rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. Pricing varies by project scope.

3. Strategic Proposal

When we determine that a partnership makes sense, we will prepare a custom consulting proposal outlining the scope of the engagement.

Your proposal will typically include:

• The consulting services to be provided

• Key strategic objectives

• Project timeline and phases

• Deliverables and outcomes

• Investment and engagement structure

This document provides complete clarity on how the engagement will unfold and what results you can expect.

4. Engagement Agreement

Once the proposal is approved, we will finalize the consulting agreement to formally begin the engagement.

To secure the project timeline and begin our strategic work, we require a 50% engagement fee upon signing the agreement, with the remaining balance due according to the agreed schedule.

This structure allows us to dedicate the appropriate time, analysis, and strategic focus required for each client engagement.

5. Strategic Work Begins

After the agreement is finalized, we begin the consulting engagement.

Depending on the scope of the project, this may include:

• brand positioning analysis

• marketing strategy development

• business growth planning

• competitive market analysis

• messaging and positioning frameworks

Our objective is to deliver clear strategic insights and actionable recommendations that support long-term growth and sustainable competitive advantage.
