Questions we are often asked

Is this consulting or interim management?

It sits between the two: hands-on leadership of your improvement system, at a fraction of a full-time cost.

Can the number of days change?

Yes. Days can be increased in peak periods and reduced as your team becomes self-sufficient.

Where do you work?

Mainly across Northern Greece on site, and anywhere online. Other locations are possible by agreement.
