How to choose the right partner (quick checklist)

1. Match scope to firm type — Big 4 / McKinsey / BCG for enterprise-wide digital/transformation strategy and stakeholder alignment; mid-size and boutique agencies for product, CX, growth and faster execution. (deloitte.com, mckinsey.com)
2. Look for relevant case studies and outcomes — similar sector, similar scale, measurable KPIs (revenue lift, conversion, cost-to-serve improvements). Check each firm’s case studies pages. (luminary.com, majortom.com)
3. Ask about team mix & delivery model — strategy partners should offer product/design/engineering and an implementation path (or clear handover to build partners). (deloitte.com, thoughtworks.com)
4. Validate references and run a short discovery or pilot (4–8 weeks) to test fit before committing to a large program. (Directory listings like Clutch also surface client reviews.) (clutch.co)
5. Budget & commercial model — retainers, time-and-materials, fixed-price discovery or outcome-based fees; use a discovery phase to scope cost more accurately. (clutch.co)

Next practical steps you can use right away

• Create a 1‑page brief (objectives, users, current systems, timeline, indicative budget).
• Shortlist 4–6 firms across 1–2 categories (e.g., 1 global, 2 national, 1 specialist). Use the links above and Clutch to filter by reviews and budgets. (clutch.co, luminary.com)
• Run a paid discovery (4–6 weeks) with 2 firms to compare approach, outputs and chemistry before picking a delivery partner.

If you’d like, I can:

• produce a 1‑page brief template you can send to shortlisted firms, or
• shortlist 4–6 firms tailored to your industry, company size and budget (I can narrow by Melbourne/Sydney/remote and estimated project size).

(If you want me to shortlist by industry or budget, tell me the industry and ballpark budget and I’ll pull a tailored shortlist with links and estimated costs.)
