    <description><![CDATA[Most consulting engagements that go wrong do not go wrong because the consultant was bad. They go wrong because the brief was vague. The client had a feeling that something needed to change, hired someone to fix it, and then spent the first three weeks of the engagement figuring out what the actual question was. That time is expensive and it is avoidable.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[The phrase 'positioning review' sounds abstract until you are in one. In practice it is a structured look at a specific question: does the way you describe your business match the way the people you want to reach actually understand it? The gap between those two things is where most positioning problems live.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Most operational problems are not mysterious. They are visible if you look at the right things in the right order. The difficulty is that when you are running a business, you are usually too close to the work to see the pattern. An operational audit is a structured way to get distance from your own processes.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[The question comes up often in scoping calls: should we do a short sprint or a longer engagement? The answer depends on the nature of the problem, not the size of the budget. Some problems are genuinely complex and need sustained attention. Others just need a clear week of focused thinking. Knowing the difference saves time and money.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[The question of remote versus in-person comes up on almost every workshop enquiry. The honest answer is that both formats work, but they work differently. The facilitation approach, the agenda structure, and the way the output is captured all need to adjust depending on which format you are in.]]></description>

    <title><![CDATA[Is a monthly consulting retainer worth it for a small business?]]></title>

    <guid isPermaLink="true">https://lunar-anchor-hub.com/notes/monthly-retainer-consulting-worth-it.html</guid>
    <description><![CDATA[A monthly retainer is not the right fit for every business. It works well for organisations that have a regular need for outside thinking but not enough of that need to justify a full-time hire. It works less well for businesses that have one specific problem to solve and then no further need for advisory input. Knowing which category you are in before you sign up saves everyone time.]]></description>

    <guid isPermaLink="true">https://lunar-anchor-hub.com/notes/how-to-prepare-for-a-strategy-session.html</guid>
    <description><![CDATA[The most common mistake teams make before a strategy session is treating the preparation as optional. They show up with good intentions and an open mind, but without having thought through their own positions in advance. The session then spends the first hour doing the work that could have been done individually beforehand, and the time for actual decision-making shrinks.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[Not every problem needs a week-long sprint. Some problems are specific enough that 90 minutes of focused conversation and a clear written summary is all you need to move forward. The Quick Consult exists for those situations. The difficulty is knowing in advance whether your problem is a 90-minute problem or a five-day problem.]]></description>
