The objective of ©Opaconsult in his approach is to provide you a service with no surprises as for the objectives, completion times and costs.

Any mission of ©Opaconsult is thus subject to a specific quotation which is joined to the detailed mission proposal. The price is fixed.

Our missions follow the main steps:

1. a meeting between you and the ©Opaconsult consultant (forecast 1 à 2 hours) where the objectives will be set up and agreed as well as a tentative agenda,


2. followed by the sending of the written ©Opaconsult proposal including: (see beside the Sales Terms & Conditions as well as a Quotation example)


• summary of the keys issues as discussed with you,
• the synthesis of the objectives,
• methodologies that will be implemented as well as:


• the number of days on your site with a provisional timetable,
• the number of interviews with key employees, if needed and agreed, with a provisional timetable too,
• the nature of information which we would like to work with,


• the fixed lump sum benefit, plus eventually additional costs: as the travel expenses, the cost of purchasing specific documents, …
• deadlines for submission:


• interim reports (especially in the case of a long mission over an extended period of time),
• the final report and other deliverables (CD, presentations, training booklets, ...) as appropriate,


3. then the signature of the contract of consulting services covering all elements of the mission after a possible adjustment of objectives, methodologies and timelines.
   
   The contract signing comes along with:
   
   
• payment of 50% of the total amount of the service (with the issue of an invoice),
• a Login and a Password are given in order to access to the Client Area of the ©Opaconsult Web site where digital files (Excel ©, Word © Acrobat ©, ...) can be shared to facilitate and to accelerate the data transmission.


4. whereupon the completion of the mission itself starts:


• data collection on site and from third-party sources, …
• interviews with employees if they are planned in the mission,
• possible drafting of interim reports, interim recommendations to be discussed with the management,
• if circumstances require, after discussion and agreement of the management, the mission may be amended and/or redirected, (set up in a contract addendum)


5. submission of final report and other deliverables, along with a second invoice representing 40% of the total amount of the contract,

The recommendations contained in the final report are systematically presented after an analysis of « S.W.O.T. » type:

• Strengths,

• Threats,

of the company.

6. a meeting (here also provide 1-2 hours) to present the conclusions and the recommendations will take place within ten days after submission of final report. The main objectives are as follows:


• explanation of the findings and the recommendations,
• discussions and proposals for possible actions needed (staff training, intermi management, …),
