01

Framing

Every engagement begins with a rigorous framing phase. This initial step, typically conducted over one or two weeks, aims to clarify priorities, objectives, expected deliverables, and governance arrangements. Framing produces a contractual document describing the precise scope of the engagement, the respective responsibilities, the detailed timeline, and the financial terms.

Activities

  • Initial interview with the sponsor to capture context
  • Identification of stakeholders and governance arrangements
  • Definition of deliverables, milestones, and success criteria
  • Engagement contract formalization
02

Diagnosis

The diagnosis phase aims to build a deep understanding of the existing situation. It draws on structured interviews with key stakeholders, on rigorous documentary analysis, and on industry benchmarks where relevant. The objective is to assess the situation objectively, identify strengths to leverage, and pinpoint opportunities to address.

Activities

  • Individual interviews with internal and external stakeholders
  • Analysis of available quantitative data
  • Benchmark of industry practices
  • Diagnostic summary and presentation to executive leadership
03

Recommendations

Building on the diagnosis, ORVION constructs transformation scenarios. Each scenario is evaluated along multiple dimensions: expected impact, feasibility conditions, associated costs, associated risks, and implementation timeline. Final recommendations are formulated with clarity and prioritized so that leadership can make informed decisions.

Activities

  • Development of alternative scenarios
  • Comparative evaluation against key criteria
  • Identification of risks and success conditions
  • Collective validation with project governance
04

Roadmap

A recommendation without an action plan is a dead letter. The fourth step turns the validated direction into an operational roadmap. This roadmap details the workstreams, the responsibilities, the key milestones, the required resources, and the tracking indicators that will allow progress and impact to be measured throughout execution.

Activities

  • Definition of workstreams and their deliverables
  • Identification of internal sponsors and stream leaders
  • Development of the schedule and critical milestones
  • Definition of monitoring and outcome indicators
05

Implementation

The implementation phase may be conducted by internal teams alone, or with the additional support of ORVION. When we step in at this stage, our role is to support the teams during deployment, to challenge operational decisions, to ensure progressive transfer of skills, and to safeguard the achievement of expected results.

Activities

  • Hands-on team support in the field
  • Steering committee facilitation
  • Continuous impact measurement and adjustments
  • Structured transfer of skills

Guiding principles

What guides our engagements every day.

Quality over volume

We favor analytical depth over the production of bulky deliverables. A clear, actionable ten-page document is more valuable than an unreadable hundred-page deck.

Co-creation

Solutions designed alongside internal teams are better understood, better accepted, and better implemented. Our method systematically favors collaborative work over top-down recommendations.

Deliverable discipline

Every deliverable is structured, documented, dated, and versioned. The client retains a clear trace of analyses, hypotheses, and successive trade-offs, which makes it easier to revisit topics later.

Impact measurement

We are committed to defining, from the framing phase, the indicators that will allow the impact of our work to be measured. Consulting only matters through the results it actually enables.
