I wanted to add that the graphic you shared, detailing the different phases, was incredibly helpful just to visualize it. I also appreciated the mentioning of the importance of systems. There's a quote by James Cleary that's floating around right now talking about the importance of systems versus goals and that has me thinking about how having clear systems is so important to stay organized, manager workflow, and present professionally.
Richard, can't thank you enough for sharing this. You packed a lot of value into this post.

Thanks Jody - really glad it helped - it was as pleasure to do.
I really believe that progress in consulting isn't so much about one-off activities but about building systems that can thrive over the long-term.
