One main benefit of working with Measured Transformation is in our flexibility in meeting our client’s where they are. We proudly offer four contract vehicles that can serve as the basis for any engagement.
This contract type is our most flexible and features hourly rate(s) based on individual task types. A Scope of Work (SOW) will be created to outline the effort and provide a breakdown of each deliverable mapped to task type and rate. T&M engagements often are accompanied by a retainer stating a minimum number of hours in a given time period. T&M contracts are invoiced monthly on net 30 terms.
Retainer engagements are negotiated based on a recurring bank of hours or tasks that must be completed within a given time frame. Retainer contracts guarantee a minimum amount of work to be completed at the client’s direction and can adapt to evolving needs or scope creep on project-based work. Retainers can be time-bound or not and are often accompanied by a T&M overage rate.
Measured Transformation also delivers solutions via a staffing model. With our vast network of freelancers and colleagues, should you need to staff a team or build out a new department, we can help find you the right talent through direct placement (one-time fee) or 1099 contract workers (recurring fee).
For high-level strategic work, client’s can also hire Measured Transformation and its principals as fractional executive resources. This cost-effective approach to building an executive team will allow small- and medium-sized businesses the ability to manage expenses while still getting the expertise needed to scale the business.
What is it like to work with us?
- We share knowledge and educate. We take a knowledge sharing approach to any and all decision making. We believe it best to expose and explain all key decisions and the tradeoffs associated with each as it relates to the business goals.
- We drive alignment between all stakeholder groups; executives down to the front-line staff. Organizational alignment and transparency is a critical prerequisite for successful business relationships focused on innovation and positive change.
- We are flexible in approach with both in person and virtual meetings and facilitations. We also take a keen interest of existing company culture and align our efforts to what will work best in that environment.
- We are flexible in our pricing models so that we are able to work with organizations regardless of company maturity.
Our non-negotiables:
- We prioritize FIT with our clients. If we are not a fit, it does not serve either of us to work together. We align efforts with business goals.
- We keep our eyes focused on only those activities that move the needle. We propose 3-month contract check-ins to ensure value is being created and delivered.
- We practice radical candor with our clients. This sometimes means delivering a message that our clients do not want to hear, but that is our job.
- We use inclusive and collaborative language between ourselves and our clients. We strive to be seen as equal partners in delivering business outcomes with our clients and want to function as an extension of our client’s internal team rather than be seen as an external resource or vendor.
