Frequently Asked Questions

1. How quickly can we start?
Once scope is agreed and a consultancy agreement is signed, a kick-off session is usually scheduled within two to three weeks. For shorter sprints, work can often begin within a few days. By the end of that first session, priorities will be clear and next steps defined.

2. What kinds of teams do you work with?
TMR & Co. partners with founders, CEOs and senior leadership teams navigating growth, transformation or complexity. This includes start-ups, scale-ups, growth companies, portfolio businesses and creative organisations. The nature of the challenge matters more than headcount or sector.

3. What engagement formats are available?

• Clarity Sprint (2 to 3 weeks)
  A short engagement focused on one priority, ending with a clear, workable plan.

• Focus Sprint (4 weeks)
  Structured support to deliver a specific outcome, with tools and a handover for internal follow-through.

• Fractional Partner (3 to 6 months)
  Part-time support embedded with the leadership team, covering operations, communications or fractional Chief of Staff work.

• Custom Engagement
  Flexible in scope and duration, tailored to the organisation’s context and objectives.

4. How do you work with existing teams?
Support is embedded and collaborative. Work is delivered within existing structures, not layered on top, so systems and messaging take hold quickly and are sustained over time. This applies whether working with a fast-moving scale-up, a growing company or a creative business.

5. How is success measured?
At the start of each engagement, two or three indicators are agreed. These may be qualitative, quantitative or a combination of both, and are reviewed regularly. The focus is on tangible improvements and lasting systems, whether that means faster decision cycles, clearer board alignment or stronger leadership visibility.

6. How is pricing structured?
Engagements are priced as fixed-fee packages, with scope agreed in advance. This provides clarity on costs and outcomes before work begins.

7. How do we get started?
Visit the Contact page and share a short overview of your current challenge. An introductory call will then be scheduled to explore fit, scope and timeline.

8. Where are you based, and do you travel?
TMR & Co. is based in Berlin and works with a digital-first model. Most support is delivered virtually, with on-site sessions where they add value. Clients across Europe, North America and Asia have been supported effectively.

9. How do you handle confidentiality and IP?
All engagements are governed by a consultancy agreement that includes strict confidentiality and intellectual property terms. Work can proceed under your organisation’s contract or one provided by TMR & Co.

10. Do you train Executive Assistants?
Yes. Both new and experienced Executive Assistants are supported with tools, workflows and coaching. Together, structured systems, communication practices and prioritisation methods are developed to strengthen leadership effectiveness, particularly in growing teams and fast-changing environments.
