Our Engagements

Three ways to work together

Each engagement is structured around a specific purpose. You choose the scope that fits where your organisation stands right now.

Strategic Direction Workshop

Strategic Direction Workshop

  • Follow-up call three weeks later

Annual Plan Review Engagement

Annual Plan Review

  • Written critique with adjustments

Why Kintsugi Forum

What distinguishes this kind of work

Strategic counsel is most useful when it respects the intelligence of the people in the room. These are the principles we hold to.

Structured without being rigid

Each engagement follows a clear framework, but the conversation inside it is genuinely open. We don't arrive with a conclusion already written.

Candid by design

The value of an outside perspective is its willingness to say what the room hasn't said. We hold that as a professional responsibility.

Written deliverables, always

Every engagement ends with a document. Not a slide deck — a written memo or critique you can return to, share with the board, or build from.

Senior-level throughout

The person you meet in the first conversation is the person who does the work. No hand-offs to junior associates after the brief is signed.

Defined scope, defined time

Each engagement has a fixed duration and fixed deliverables. You know what you're paying for before you begin, with no scope creep by design.

Confidentiality as standard

Strategic conversations involve sensitive information. We operate under a strict confidentiality framework across every engagement, without exception.

Ready to begin?

A conversation costs nothing.
Drifting costs considerably more.

Most organisations that reach us have been carrying the same strategic question for longer than they'd like to admit. An initial conversation takes thirty minutes and carries no obligation.

Common Questions

Questions we're often asked

Who are these engagements suited for?
Primarily founder-led businesses, family-owned companies, and mid-sized organisations in Malaysia that are approaching a significant change — whether that's a leadership transition, a shift in market conditions, a period of rapid growth, or a slowdown that needs to be understood honestly. The engagements are designed for managing directors, CEOs, and senior leadership teams who benefit from a structured external conversation.
How do I know which engagement is right for us?
If you're unsure whether a longer engagement makes sense, the Direction Diagnostic is designed precisely for that moment — it's a one-week engagement that gives you and us a shared picture of the current situation. Many clients use it as a first step before deciding whether to proceed with the Workshop or the Plan Review. If you already have a clear question in mind, we can discuss the most suitable format in an initial call.
Are these engagements conducted in Bahasa Malaysia?
We work primarily in English, which is the language most Malaysian senior leadership teams use for strategic discussion. If your team prefers a bilingual session or specific elements in Bahasa Malaysia, please mention this when you enquire and we will discuss what's practical within the engagement format.
What happens after the engagement ends?
Each engagement has a defined close point, and the written deliverable is yours to use as you see fit. The Strategic Direction Workshop includes a follow-up call three weeks after delivery to discuss how early decisions are landing. Beyond that, there's no retainer structure — some clients return for a subsequent engagement months or a year later, and some don't. We don't pitch ongoing services at the close of an engagement.
How is pricing structured, and are the fees negotiable?
The fees listed — RM 580 for the Direction Diagnostic, RM 1,680 for the Annual Plan Review, and RM 2,850 for the Strategic Direction Workshop — are fixed for the standard scope of each engagement. They are not subject to negotiation, but we're transparent about exactly what is included. If your situation requires something different in scope, that would be discussed as a custom arrangement before any agreement is made.
How is confidentiality handled?
A mutual non-disclosure agreement is standard before any substantive conversation begins. What you share in the course of an engagement — about your team, your financials, your market position — does not leave the engagement. We do not publish case studies, do not reference client names in marketing materials, and do not discuss the specifics of any engagement with any third party.
