ENGAGEMENT MODELS

Four ways to engage, one ladder to scale.

Novaro supports clients through structured engagement formats that flex to maturity, urgency, and scope. The four formats describe the shape of the work. The three-rung ladder describes how any single capability is bought within them.

THE MODEL

Two questions decide how you engage.

Novaro does not sell fixed packages. Engagement is defined along two axes: the shape of the work and the depth of commitment. Four formats set the shape. A three-rung ladder sets the depth. You choose a format for the shape of the work and a rung for the depth of commitment. Any capability can be engaged at any rung, within any format.

THE SHAPE

Four engagement formats

How the work is structured: its intensity, duration, and posture. Advisory Sprint, Transformation Roadmap, Automation and AI Enablement, or Ongoing Fractional Advisory.

THE FOUR FORMATS

Four ways to engage.

Each format is a different shape of work, sized to maturity, urgency, and scope. Every format still resolves to the same three-rung ladder for any capability it touches.
