Questions before getting started

A few pointers to prepare an initial conversation and clarify your needs.

Discuss your needs
At what stage can we contact CEADSA?

When developing an idea, commissioning an assessment or working on an existing project. An initial discussion helps identify whether you need strategic guidance, problem-solving, skills development or support for a new phase.

Can a project combine several areas of expertise?

A project may bring together consulting, training, data and compliance. Its scope can combine several areas of expertise according to the objectives and skills required.

What deliverables can be planned?

Depending on the project: an assessment, recommendations, a roadmap, monitoring tools, training materials or audit preparation documentation. Deliverables and validation criteria should be agreed during scoping.

How are budget and timeline defined?

Scoping considers objectives, location, available data, depth of analysis and expected deliverables. Describing these factors helps establish an appropriate scope, timeline and proposal.
