Working with Scio

Obviously every business and every project is different but our principles remain the same throughout and this drives the process that we follow.

Initial Meeting

First we will come to see you for an hour or so to ensure that we want to work with each other and that there is something that we can do for you.

Proposal

We will then come back with a written proposal. This may suggest that we cannot do anything and suggest where you can get help. Scio have a vast network that we will use to help you. In the long run, we hope that you will value this and one day come back to us but we are not so proud that we think we know everything.

Where possible, the proposal will be broken down into stages. These will be individually priced. Only the first stage will have a firm price. At the end of each stage, we will review the work done with you and look at the next stage. We may well revise the subsequent activity. We will provide a written report of this meeting and revised figures.

We do it like this because the work done and results of each stage will almost certainly change the scope of work for the next stage. Most importantly, you stay in control of the work programme and the money.

Using this approach means that there is always the option to withdraw at the end of each stage and we are only doing work that is worthwhile and relevant.

Execution

We do the work and deliver in a manner that is comprehensible. The format will vary depending on the nature of the work and your requirements.

Invoicing

Yes, we do like to get paid. We invoice at the end of each stage and expect to get paid within 30 days of the invoice date.

PHILOSOPHY : Keeping it Simple

We like cliches and analogies. These make understanding better. If we talk gobbledygook, both parties will get upset and key points may be missed. We do do some clever stuff, that's why we are here, but we make sure that the hard stuff is explained in English when you need to know.
