Evidence on one part of your ITSM,
in two weeks.

A complete Clarity Assessment™ of five disciplines and five stakeholders. Same platform, same scoring model, same depth of output as our full assessment, focused on the question you need answered now. If you don't think it was worth the fee, you don't pay the balance.

Fixed scope, no procurement cycle
One signature, not a business case. See everything included below.

Why the Sprint Exists

A focused answer,
not a smaller one.

Most organisations know roughly where their service management is weak. What they lack is evidence, and agreement on what to do first.

A full Clarity Assessment™ examines the whole service management estate across a broad stakeholder group. It is the right choice when the question is organisation-wide and the answer needs to withstand board scrutiny.

The Sprint answers a narrower question properly. Five disciplines, five stakeholders, the same platform, the same scoring model, the same depth of output. It is a complete assessment of a focused scope, not a reduced version of a larger one.

Choose the Sprint when you want evidence on a specific area quickly, or when you need something concrete in front of your leadership before committing to a wider programme. Everything it produces stands on its own, and everything it establishes carries forward if you go further.

What's Included

One week of work.
A complete answer.

Every Sprint includes the same five things, delivered against a fixed scope so you know exactly what you're getting before you commit.

01
Scored maturity baseline across five disciplines

Independently scored against our 0–4 maturity scale, using the same Clarity Assessment™ platform and methodology as our full engagements. You choose the five disciplines that matter most right now, or take our recommended starting five: Problem Management, Knowledge Management, Incident Management, Change Enablement and Measurement & Reporting.

02
Behavioural Baseline across five stakeholders

Structured interviews split across leadership and practitioners. This is where the Sprint earns its name: it surfaces the gap between what leadership believes and what your team actually experiences, the single most consistent finding across everything we assess.

03
Prioritised recommendations, current and projected scores

Not a generic best-practice checklist. Recommendations grounded in what your five stakeholders actually told us, with a clear before-and-after view of where each discipline could realistically move.

04
A 6-month roadmap

Shorter than our full assessment's roadmap, because the scope is narrower, not because the thinking is thinner. Sequenced and realistic for five disciplines, not a wish list stretched to fill more time than the work needs.

05
A live playback session

Delivered within three working days of your final stakeholder interview. Not a report emailed into the void: a session where we walk your leadership through the findings and answer questions directly.

Included At No Extra Cost

Four more things,
before we even talk price.

Because we want this to be the easiest yes you make this quarter, not the smallest thing we could get away with.

BONUS
AI readiness commentary

Built into your report, not a separate exercise: notes on where your data quality and process consistency could affect AI investment, informed by what we see across your five disciplines.

BONUS
Board-ready summary deck

Built for your leadership team, not just the findings report. Standard on every Sprint, never an add-on.

BONUS
90-day discipline re-score

90 days after playback, we re-score your five disciplines and show you what's actually moved. Included, not billed separately.

BONUS
Discipline policy templates

Our standard ITSM People-approved policy templates for each of your five disciplines, ready to adapt and implement.

The Guarantee

Worth it, or you
don't pay the balance.

If you don't think the findings and roadmap were worth the fee, tell us within five working days of playback and we'll waive the balance. No conditions, no negotiation.

You keep the report and the roadmap either way. We're confident enough in what a Sprint finds that this costs us almost nothing to offer.

If You Go Further

Everything you pay
carries forward.

Half of what you pay for the Sprint, £4,998, is credited against a full follow-on programme of work you contract with us within 90 days of playback. Not a discount code: a direct reduction against your invoice, applied automatically.

This isn't a taster designed to be discarded. It's a genuine engagement whose findings, if you choose to act on them, become the first step of something bigger, at no extra cost to get there.

How It Works

Flexible scheduling,
not a compressed week.

We arrange interviews around your stakeholders' availability rather than forcing everyone into a single fixed week. Typical elapsed time from kick-off to playback is two weeks.

STEP 1
Kick-off

Confirm your five disciplines and five stakeholders. 50% payment on kick-off.

STEP 2
Interviews

Structured interviews with your five stakeholders, scheduled around their availability.

STEP 3
Scoring & report

Independent scoring, recommendations and roadmap prepared, reviewed before playback.

STEP 4
Playback

Live session within 3 working days of your final interview. 50% payment on completion.

Frequently Asked

Before you
get in touch.

Is this a cut-down version of the full assessment?

No. It's a complete assessment of a narrower scope, using the same platform, the same scoring model and the same depth of interviewing as our full engagements. What it doesn't include is a full 30-discipline picture or the broader stakeholder group a board-level business case usually needs.

Can we choose which five disciplines?

Yes. We'll also recommend a starting set, based on the five patterns we see most consistently across UK enterprise IT: Problem Management, Knowledge Management, Incident Management, Change Enablement and Measurement & Reporting.

What happens if we want to expand into a full assessment later?

Half your Sprint fee, £4,998, is credited against any programme of work over £50,000 contracted within 90 days of playback. It doesn't apply against a further Sprint or smaller pieces of consulting work, the credit doesn't apply if the guarantee was invoked, and it's available once per client.

How is this different from your free scorecard?

The free scorecard is self-assessed and takes minutes. The Sprint is consultant-led, evidence-based, and independently scored against five real stakeholder interviews. If the scorecard tells you roughly where you stand, the Sprint tells you why, with evidence you can put in front of your leadership.
