Our approach is based on years of experience working with complex business models and leading world-wide companies.
While each engagement is customized to meet your needs, we follow a 3-step methodology to achieve
your goals.
- Needs assessment and proposal
5DN meets with your organization to understand your challenges and desired outcome. Once we fully comprehend your situation and agree with your outcome, we create a customized proposal for consideration. - Work Session Preparation
Every engagement has a preparation phase that typically takes about 1 month. The product of this effort positions our collective teams for success during the onsite work. - SIO Field Sessions
We collaborate with you in a very specific manner that we have found creates the best results. These sessions are like a reaction and refining process with 5DN acting as a catalyst. Our SIO Field sessions take place at your location in 1 week bursts. This approach maximizes the value of the sessions while respecting time constraints.
