Who we are

How we work: the 5D Method

Diagnose, Define, Design, Deploy, Drive. How a PURSHO engagement runs, what you get at each step, and how much of your team’s time it needs.

The 5D Method drawn as a path: Diagnose, Define, Design, Deploy, Drive growth

The 5D Method

Typical first cycle: 8–12 weeks

The five steps

What happens, and what you get.

1

Diagnose

We study your numbers and interview the people who run the business.

Your involvement: Share access and give us 2–3 short interviews.

Output: Findings and a constraint map

Typical time: 1–2 weeks

2

Define

We agree the goal, the real constraint and how success will be measured.

Your involvement: One workshop with decision-makers.

Output: Problem statement and KPIs

Typical time: A few days

3

Design

We build the plan: what to do, what to stop, and in what order.

Your involvement: Review sessions on the draft plan.

Output: 90-day plan or roadmap

Typical time: 1–3 weeks

4

Deploy

We execute with your team, ours, or the vendors you already use.

Your involvement: Weekly check-ins.

Output: Shipped changes

Typical time: Ongoing

5

Drive

We measure, adjust, hand over and plan the next cycle.

Your involvement: Monthly reviews.

Output: Results report and next cycle

Typical time: Ongoing

Principles

What doesn't change.

Diagnosis before prescription

We don't recommend anything until we understand the constraint. The Growth Audit is the formal version of this step.

We say no

If you don't need something, we'll tell you, even if it's something we sell.

Measured outcomes

Every engagement has agreed measures.

Choose the depth of engagement.

From a single Strategy Session to ongoing advisory and execution.

Questions

About working together.

Most of the effort is ours. Expect a few hours a week from the main decision-maker during Diagnose and Define, less afterwards.

Mostly remotely, with on-site workshops where they help.

A short written update every two weeks and a review meeting each month.
