Refinery

Where strategy becomes work.

Refinery is Exodust's deeper consulting and implementation model for engagements requiring more than an advisory session. It brings together the analysis, capability, expertise and execution support required to move an agreed strategy forward. Every engagement is individually scoped.

Discuss a Refinery Engagement Start with The Assessment

What it covers

Refinery engagements can support:

Individuals

Professional and capability development

Businesses

Strategy execution, growth, operations and technology

Organisations

Transformation, performance, capability and implementation

What Refinery can include

Built around the gaps.

Not every engagement includes all of this. What is included depends on the client, the problem identified and the priorities that came out of consultation.

Implementation. Strategy execution, development plans and structured support through delivery.
Capability. Technical upskilling, professional and leadership training, management development.
Technology. Digital transformation, AI and automation.
Operations. Process and operational improvement, strategic workshops.
Expertise. Mentoring, access to industry experts, specialist consultations and expert-led learning.
Continuity. Research and market analysis, ongoing advisory, progress reviews and refinement as circumstances change.

How engagements work

Scoped to the work required.

Refinery engagements are scoped according to the work required. Every engagement is shaped by the problem, the gaps identified and the depth of support needed.

Engagement duration is determined by scope. Some work is focused and short-term; more complex implementation or organisational engagements may run over an extended period.

Consultation first

The problem, the position and the strategic direction are established before any engagement is scoped.

Scope agreed

We define what the engagement covers: the work, the support involved and what it is intended to produce.

Proposal

Once the scope is agreed, you receive a proposal setting out the engagement.

Work begins

The engagement runs against the agreed scope, with progress reviewed and the strategy refined as circumstances change.

Getting started

Two ways to enter Refinery.

Following The Assessment

Where an Assessment identifies work requiring deeper analysis, development or implementation, we can scope a Refinery engagement directly from the findings.

Direct enquiry

If you already have a defined business or organisational requirement, you can approach Exodust directly. We will hold an initial scoping conversation to understand the requirement before proposing an engagement.

Questions

Frequently asked.

How much does Refinery cost?

Refinery is scoped according to the work required, and priced against that scope.

How is payment handled?

All Refinery fees are payable upfront, after the scope has been agreed.

Is Refinery only for careers?

No. Refinery covers career development, business development, management development and organisational development.

Does every engagement include everything listed?

No. The engagement is designed around the gaps and priorities identified through consultation, so what is included differs between clients.

How long does an engagement last?

Duration is determined by scope. Some work is focused and short-term; more complex implementation or organisational engagements may run over an extended period.
