Example message
Hello Brendan,
I am contacting Forge to discuss a possible structured review for our organisation.
The issue we are looking at is [briefly explain the issue]. We are particularly concerned about [risk, communication, leadership, culture, staff pressure, decision making, or other concern].
We would like to arrange a short discovery conversation to see whether Forge may be able to help.
Kind regards,
How the first conversation works
Clear, confidential, and proportionate.
The first conversation is about understanding the situation and deciding whether Forge is the right fit.
1
Understand the issue
Forge will ask what has happened, what is causing concern, who may need to be involved, and what kind of outcome would be useful.
2
Consider sensitivity
The conversation may explore whether there are HR, legal, safeguarding, disciplinary, welfare, reputational, or operational sensitivities.
3
Agree the next step
If the work is suitable, Forge can suggest a scoping process, terms of reference, structured review, risk analysis, or follow-up support.
Discretion from the first contact.
Forge treats enquiries with care. Client organisations, sensitive issues, and internal concerns will not be discussed publicly or used in marketing without clear permission.
Before formal work begins
Forge will help clarify the scope.
Before any structured review or organisational support begins, Forge will normally agree the purpose, scope, participants, confidentiality position, data handling arrangements, outputs, and responsibilities.
This protects the organisation, the participants, and the integrity of the work.
✓
Purpose and scope
What the work is intended to understand and what is outside the review.
✓
Participants and boundaries
Who should be involved, why they are involved, and what expectations apply.
✓
Outputs and next steps
What the client will receive and how the learning may be acted upon.
