What executives often ask us.

Bringing in a consulting firm is generally relevant when the organization is facing a major strategic issue that exceeds its internal resources: large-scale transformation, decision with major consequences, need for independent external perspective, or a tight timeline that prevents mobilizing an internal project team. Consulting is not meant to replace the teams but to reinforce them temporarily, on topics where external value is clear.

An engagement begins with a framing phase during which the scope, objectives, deliverables, and timeline are formalized contractually. Then comes a diagnosis phase, generally organized around interviews, documentary research, and industry benchmarks. Recommendations are co-built with the client and validated by leadership before formalizing an operational roadmap. Implementation may, depending on the case, be carried out by the internal teams alone or with additional support from ORVION.

Our consultants have meaningful experience either in consulting or in industry. They combine mastery of analytical frameworks, practical sense, and the ability to engage with executive leadership. Each engagement is led by an experienced consultant who remains involved throughout the project, ensuring continuity and quality. Depending on scope, specialized experts may be brought in on a ad-hoc basis to bring sharp expertise on a specific topic.

Fees are defined according to the nature of the engagement, its duration, the scope covered, and the expertise mobilized. We generally propose fixed-price models providing the client with full visibility on the final cost. For longer engagements, milestone-based billing may be used. All financial elements are documented upfront, with no hidden costs.

Duration varies significantly depending on the topic. A strategic framing engagement can be conducted in four to six weeks. An organizational transformation typically spans three to six months. Larger transformation programs may extend over twelve to twenty-four months, structured in successive phases. The precise schedule is defined during framing and adjusted as needed during the engagement, in agreement with the client.

Yes. ORVION supports clients on engagements with an international dimension. Our legal structure in the United States allows us to serve clients based in multiple geographies. Engagements abroad are conducted in English or French, depending on client preference.

All engagements begin with the signing of a non-disclosure agreement (NDA). Information transmitted is stored on secured systems, accessible only to consultants involved in the engagement. No element is shared internally beyond the project team's scope, and no client data may be communicated externally without the client's explicit authorization.

Yes, subject to availability. For critical topics requiring rapid intervention (due diligence, crisis management, turnaround situations), we can rapidly mobilize a dedicated team and adapt our methodology to the constrained timeline. We always assess upfront the real feasibility of an accelerated intervention, in order not to compromise quality.

ORVION is a boutique, independent firm that emphasizes closeness with its clients and continuity of teams across engagements. Our senior consultants are directly involved in the work, rather than delegating execution to junior staff. Our lean structure translates into reduced overheads, allowing us to offer competitive fees while maintaining a high quality bar.

We commit to the quality and rigor of our deliverables, to compliance with the agreed scope and timeline, and to the relevance of the recommendations formulated. As is the case with any consulting firm, we do not commit to specific quantitative outcomes (which depend largely on external factors and on the client's implementation), but we do everything in our power to maximize the concrete impact of our engagements.

Absolutely. We work both on short engagements (a few weeks) and on long-running programs. A one-off mission may take the form of an audit, a strategic framing, an expert opinion on a decision, or a structured workshop with an executive team. The format is defined according to actual need.

The simplest way is to write to us at the address indicated on the contact page. We offer a first free, no-commitment conversation of about thirty minutes, which allows us to understand your need, assess the relevance of an external advisory, and, if appropriate, formulate a tailored proposal. This initial conversation does not in any way commit you to what comes next.
