Questions

Where should an institution begin?

The Discovery Diagnostic is the usual starting point. It produces a use-case scorecard and a 90-day roadmap.

Do you only work in healthcare?

Healthcare is the deepest area of focus. The consultancy also serves banks, telcos, insurers, NGOs and public institutions.

What do we leave with?

Deliverables are defined per package, typically a diagnostic brief, a readout and a roadmap. The engagement page lists them.

Is there a smaller first step?

Direct advisory with Derrick starts at KES 18,000 for a 60-minute session and written recommendation. SMEs can also start with a focused assessment or automation.
