Signature Engagement Formats
True North engagements are designed around the reality that clarity, growth, and execution don’t happen on a fixed schedule. We offer several ways to work together, depending on the moment and mandate.
Clarity Sprint
A short, focused engagement designed to create direction quickly.
Ideal for:
-
Inflection points and major decisions
-
New initiatives or stalled momentum
-
Leaders needing outside perspective without long-term commitment
Typically includes:
-
Deep discovery and context immersion
-
Structured problem framing
-
Clear recommendations and next steps
Advisory & Retainer Partnerships
Ongoing support for leaders and teams navigating complexity over time.
Ideal for:
-
Founders and executives in growth or transition
-
Organizations building new capabilities
-
Teams seeking a steady, trusted sounding board
Support may include:
-
Strategic advisory and decision support
-
Leadership and performance guidance
-
Go-to-market, partnerships, and execution oversight
Project-Based Engagements
Defined initiatives with clear outcomes.
Ideal for:
-
Market entry or repositioning
-
Sponsorship, revenue, or partnership strategy
-
Digital, data, or process optimization
These engagements combine focused execution with strategic context.
Embedded & Full-Time Opportunities
In select cases, True North explores deeply integrated roles within organizations.
These opportunities are considered when:
-
The mission aligns strongly with our values
-
The challenge requires sustained leadership or build-out
-
Long-term impact outweighs short-term consulting
This includes interim, fractional, or full-time leadership roles where trust, alignment, and shared direction are essential.
Our Network & Approach
True North is not a large firm—and it isn’t meant to be.
We operate through a trusted network of operators, strategists, creatives, technologists, and advisors who have been in the work, not just around it. This allows us to assemble the right team for the challenge at hand—without overhead, noise, or unnecessary complexity.
Our approach is:
-
Founder-led, team-supported
-
Grounded in real-world experience
-
Honest, discreet, and values-driven
-
Flexible by design, intentional by default
We believe the best work happens when ego is low, clarity is high, and incentives are aligned.
A Simple Next Step
Not every conversation needs to turn into an engagement.
Sometimes the most valuable step is simply comparing notes, pressure-testing an idea, or clarifying what matters most before moving forward.
If you’re navigating a decision, building something new, or reconsidering direction, we’re open to a conversation.
Reach out if / when it feels useful.
We’ll take it from there.
