A first conversation that should leave the mandate clearer.

Use this page to understand whether a first call makes sense, who should join it, and what should come out of it.

Who should book

Choose the sponsor, then test the mandate.

The objective is not to create activity. It is to determine whether there is a real mandate, who should own it, and what the first proportionate step should be.

Best fit

  • Leadership teams facing transformation, digitalisation, or growth-financing decisions
  • Mandates where ownership and sequencing are still unclear
  • Projects that need decision support and practical follow-through

Less suitable

  • Commodity software procurement without a business-side problem to solve
  • Large programmes that already have fixed scope and delivery governance
  • Exploratory AI or finance work with no operating owner or execution intent

Typical sponsors

  • CEO or GM
  • COO or business head
  • CFO or finance lead
  • Transformation sponsor
  • Operating owner

Prepare before the call

  • What problem is real right now
  • What is blocked, slow, or unclear
  • Who currently owns the issue internally
  • What already exists in terms of systems, roadmap, or tooling
  • Which growth assumptions, debt limits, or financing constraints are already set

What the call should produce

  • Fit

    Whether Pericles is the right counterpart for the issue.

  • Entry format

    Whether the right move is a diagnostic, a roadmap mandate, or a build/embed track.

  • Next step

    What should happen next, who should own it, and how scope should stay proportionate.
