Book a call People and Future

Career design helps a person plan the next three to five years through a map of options, risks and capabilities. The work starts with a capability inventory separating what the person is genuinely good at today, what can be developed, and what must be sourced externally. Development plans built without that split usually try to improve everything a little and advance nothing enough.

The second step maps the options. Instead of a single goal we define three or four realistic paths and compare the capability, time, risk and opportunity cost each requires. This removes the greatest weakness of single-scenario career plans: when conditions change the plan does not collapse, you move to an alternative path.

The final stage sets a six-month development plan and a review rhythm. The plan never exceeds three items, because trying to advance more than three capabilities at once results in advancing none.

Frequently asked questions

How long does career design work take?
It depends on scope. For career design, diagnosis of 1–3 weeks, main work of 4–10 weeks and rollout of 2–4 weeks are typical ranges. Organisation size, the number of people in the decision process and current data maturity set those ranges; exact timing is put in writing after the diagnosis session.
Can we buy career design on its own?
Yes. During diagnosis we check together whether your problem really sits in career design; often a combination of two services produces a better result, and we say so openly at the proposal stage.
How is career design priced?
Scope-based. For career design the deliverables, duration and the team involved are written item by item into the proposal, so no surprise line appears later. If budget is tight, the scope can be split into layers and continued once the first layer shows a result.
Can our own team run career design delivery?
It can. On many projects we build the career design decision and system layers while the in-house team continues day-to-day delivery. The guide, templates and training needed for handover are included.
