How does Advisory Services work?
Our Advisory Services engagement model involves a recurring retainer of hours (typically 4-8 hours per week). You will have a single point of contact with Evolve-Digital that serves as your primary advisor who can tap into other expertise as needed to help your organization.
Our Advisor will be paired with one or more folks within your organization as a point of contact for scheduling, gathering documentation, and sharing deliverables.
We also provide a secure site for document storage, and all Evolve-Digital generated materials. You can use our space or move the information into your network at your convenience.
Flexibility to meet your needs
At the onset, we’ll collaborate on sessions, stakeholders, scope, and timing. We can adjust this as needed as your team gets up to speed and the initiative gains momentum.
