How We Work

Our consulting methodology

Every engagement starts the same way: we send you a short set of questions designed to surface what is actually on your mind about the business — not a formal questionnaire, but a prompt for honest thinking. This preparation makes the sessions themselves far more productive.

During sessions, we follow the thinking where it leads. We ask questions, reflect back what we hear and occasionally offer observations from other business situations. We do not present slide decks or deliver pre-packaged advice.

After each engagement, we write a reflection document — a considered, plain-language record of the direction that emerged from the sessions, the priorities you identified and any questions worth returning to. This document belongs to you.

1

Preparation

Short written prompts help both parties arrive at the session ready to think carefully.

2

Session

A structured, focused conversation that stays with what matters and goes as deep as needed.

3

Written reflection

A document that captures the direction and priorities from the session — for you to keep and return to.

4

Follow-up (where included)

Longer engagements include follow-up sessions and quarterly reviews to maintain the longer view over time.

Owner looking out at a clear horizon — the Horizon Check

Service 01

Horizon Check

RM 710 · Single engagement

A single engagement designed for owners who feel caught in the weeds. We lift your eyes from the immediate and talk through where the business is actually heading — and whether today's choices are serving that direction. Includes a working session, a written reflection and a short list of longer-view priorities.

What's included

  • Pre-session preparation prompts
  • One focused working session (90–120 minutes)
  • Written reflection document
  • Short-list of longer-view priorities

Best for

Owners who feel too busy to think clearly, who sense a direction problem but cannot articulate it, or who want to experience Merbau's approach before committing to a longer engagement.

Service 02

Three-Year Review

RM 1,950 · Five weeks

A five-week engagement for owners who are ready to plan beyond the immediate and think carefully about the next few years.

What's included

  • Two structured planning sessions
  • Written longer-term outlook document
  • Simple milestones for the first year
  • Follow-up call within four weeks of completion

Best for

Owners who have stabilised their business and are now ready to think deliberately about where it should go over the next three years — but need a structured process and outside perspective to do that well.

  • Quarterly direction reviews
