In some cases, decision-makers don’t need or simply can’t justify a full consulting engagement – they just need fast access to reliable advice. Tagoras offers Rapid Advisory Services for decision makers seeking expert input on pressing questions.

The Details

For an investment of $995, Rapid Advisory clients receive a phone/Web-based consultation of 90 minutes (may be split over a maximum of two calls) with a senior Tagoras consultant and  ten consecutive business days of unlimited e-mail access following the consultation. In addition, should you engage Tagoras for a larger project within 30 days of your Rapid Advisory engagement, your $995 investment will be credited back to you.

With our Rapid Complete package, we will also review a key document (e.g., business plan, RFP) or Web site (e.g., LMS platform) that is relevant to your issue and provide a phone-based debrief (which may be recorded). We are also happy to provide RFP templates for your use as part of this option. The fee for Rapid Complete is $1,495.

Situations in which Rapid Advisory Services are valuable include:

• You want expert feedback on your overall strategy and whether it is likely to position you for success within the evolving market for lifelong learning, continuing education, and professional development.
• You are considering launching a new e-learning program, virtual conference, or social learning initiative for members, customers, or channel partners, and you simply want to get the lay of the land and understand what your options are;
• You feel that sales for your current educational events or products are lower than expected and you would like an outside perspective on how to market and sell more effectively;
• You want to learn the options for implementing a learning management system (LMS) or other learning platform, discuss requirements, or get an expert review of your RFP draft;
• You want to learn the options for implementing a virtual conference platform, discuss requirements, or get an expert review of your RFP draft;
• You are a firm planning to enter or expand your presence in the association market and you need an expert perspective on the “lay of the land.”

With basic Rapid Advisory Services, you get access to the years of experience Tagoras consultants have in Web technologies, online education, marketing, and strategy at a fraction of the investment of a full-scale consulting engagement.

As noted above, our Complete package, also includes review of a key document (e.g., business plan, RFP) or Web site (e.g., LMS platform) that is relevant to your issue and provide a phone-based debrief (which may be recorded). (Keep in mind our Rapid and Retained services are “non-deliverable” – we will review materials, but we do not create them or take responsibility for making changes to them. If you have more than one document that needs to be reviewed, we can adjust the Rapid Complete fee according to mutually-agreed terms.)

Rapid Advisory Fees may be credited to any larger consulting project you undertake with us within 30 days of completion of the Rapid Advisory engagement. All major credit cards are accepted for payment.
