Questions before we start

Do we need support across every function?

No. Start with the work under pressure, then define the related responsibilities and dependencies. An engagement can focus on one function or several.

Are you based in the United States?

Ascent is based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and works through U.S.-based senior practitioners. Delivery scope and specialist support are agreed for each engagement.

How do we start?

Discuss the business, current systems, deadlines, and recurring work. We then define the deliverables, responsibilities, and any transition before monthly delivery begins.
