Common questions
What kinds of businesses do you work with? +
We work with founders, executives, and senior leaders across professional services, technology, and operational businesses. Engagements typically suit companies at an inflection point — scaling, pivoting, or navigating a significant strategic challenge.
How long does a typical engagement last? +
Most engagements run 3–6 months, though some advisory relationships continue on a retainer basis. The scope and duration depend entirely on the complexity of the challenge and how much you want us involved in execution.
Do you work with international clients? +
Yes. While we have deep roots locally, we work with clients across multiple geographies. Most of our work can be delivered remotely, with on-site presence where it adds clear value.
What does the first step look like? +
We start with a no-obligation discovery call — typically 45–60 minutes — to understand your situation and determine whether there's a good fit. If there is, we'll outline a proposed scope of work within a week.
How do you measure success? +
We define success criteria at the outset and review them formally at key milestones. We prefer outcome-based measures — revenue impact, decision quality, team alignment — over input measures like hours or deliverables.
What sets you apart from a larger consultancy? +
Senior attention throughout. With a larger firm you pay for the partner and get the junior team. With Akbar you work directly with the principal — the person with the expertise — from day one.
