• Build a structured, comparable options assessment across financials, operations, risk, timeline, and sustainability/B Corp considerations.
• Create decision-grade materials for senior leadership and the board, including a board deck, a robust financial model, and a written recommendation.
• Design and facilitate a decision workshop to align stakeholders and drive to a documented decision.
• Plan and deliver early execution milestones post-decision, such as 3PL sourcing/RFP, broker engagement, negotiation strategy, transition planning, and an implementation roadmap.
• Establish governance, stakeholder cadence, and documentation to reduce ambiguity and maintain pace to outcomes.
• Manage risks and change carefully to ensure minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
