The REACH Method™
Why Reach works this way
Reach looks beyond the surface problem to understand what is actually happening across the business, then uses research, analysis, professional judgment, and client context to establish a well-supported direction. When the engagement calls for it, Reach helps construct the strategy, systems, processes, and operational structure needed to put that direction into practice.
Understand deeply. Decide wisely. Build intentionally.
The five stages
Each stage has its own page.
- 1.RevealUnderstand what is actually happening.
- 2.EvaluateExamine evidence, context, constraints, risks, and opportunities.
- 3.ArchitectDetermine and design what should be built or changed.
- 4.ConstructPut appropriate strategy, systems, and structure into practice.
- 5.HoldEvaluate implementation, outcomes, responsibility, and what requires continued attention or adjustment.
How the stages are applied
The method governs Reach's consulting engagements, and the stages may be worked at different depths depending on the scope of the engagement.
The method is consistent. The strategy it produces is not: it is developed around the realities of each client rather than fitted to a predetermined formula. Four standards govern the work - Depth, Discernment, Stewardship, Implementation.
Where a conversation starts
You don't need to diagnose the engagement yourself.
