How?

Place is putting together a team of consultants around the country, so there may be some opportunity for face-to-face meetings, depending on where you are and where we are. However, the consultancy process is designed to work well remotely via phone, email and zoom. 
Your organisation will appoint a liaison person who will be the main point of contact. 
Whichever model you choose we will provide you with a Scope of Work document for discussion, from which we will draw up a Contract.
