Hourly Rate
On hourly projects, Working INK’s partners each work at a rate of $125 an hour, billed in 30-minute increments. Budgets for individual projects are calculated based on timeline estimates.
Timelines
The time needed for any given project can vary a great deal depending on the services required by you or your organization. Below is a summary of estimates by project type.
Business visioning is usually completed over three face-to-face meetings with the client, as well as additional research and development.
| We do an initial consult, in which the first 60 minutes allow us to hear your story and the second 60 minutes allow us to engage with and guide you to further shape that idea. |
2 hours |
| We then develop a set of questions and potential resources to present to you at the second meeting. |
8-10 hours |
| In the second session, we clarify what they have and what they need, and begin a draft timeline. |
2-5 hours |
| Then we work with our community partners to make sure that is the right order of steps and resources, and that we best understand how that idea fits with existing institutions and models. |
8-10 hours |
| In the third session, we present a clear statement of background, a timeline for moving forward (short term and long term), and a set of identified resources and referrals. |
2-4 hours |
This usually comes to 23-32 hours total, which usually equals a budget of roughly $4,000. This may be less if business visioning is involved in a larger project.
We usually meet with Business Canvas clients for 3 half-day sessions. In addition, they receive access to the web tools, and electronic copy of the document and relevant data. This comes to approximately $2,100.
Note: Prices do not include travel or expenses.
Strategic Planning usually requires 3 half-day sessions with your core team, beginning at $2,100. This budget includes copies of all materials used as part of the strategic process, as well as quarterly coaching phone calls for the first year.
