Three formats depending on your scope — see below. Final scope and price are agreed after scoping.
A European group can know perfectly well that it must change without being able to determine what should be common, what must legitimately differ by country, which initiatives to launch, and which to delay or stop. The result is almost always the same: each country runs its own modernisation, with its own vendors and its own timetable. Nothing is designed once and reused. Nothing is formally stopped either.
The problem is not a lack of initiative. It is the absence of a decision about what belongs to the European core and what belongs to the national overlay.
The engagement separates three layers. This structure prevents the two symmetrical errors: imposing an excessively centralised model, or recreating the entire transformation separately in every country.
Strategic objectives, architecture principles, core processes, common data definitions, cybersecurity principles, group-level controls, shared performance indicators, technology-selection rules, governance standards.
Legal implementation, labour and employee-representation requirements, tax and accounting processes, electronic invoicing, reporting, language, national funding mechanisms, supervisory authorities, sector-specific authorisations.
Customer expectations, market maturity, local distribution, existing systems, available skills, partner ecosystems, site operations.
A common regulatory baseline, national transposition and implementation checks, cross-border operating principles, data and system interoperability requirements, country-specific implementation annexes.
EU legislation must not be assumed to apply in the same manner or on the same date. Its incorporation into the EEA Agreement must be verified. The EU AI Act, for example, is identified as EEA-relevant, but its incorporation remains subject to the EEA process. The Blueprint therefore includes an EEA Incorporation Check whenever one of these countries is in scope.
A separate jurisdictional overlay distinguishing applicable national law, EU extraterritorial effects, contractual requirements, data-transfer conditions, market-access requirements and sector-specific obligations.
Regulation is treated as a design condition, not as the only reason to transform. The engagement asks the value questions first — where is value lost, which capabilities limit growth, which dependencies create risk, which data cannot currently be used, which processes prevent scaling, which technology choices reduce strategic flexibility — and then integrates compliance requirements into the target design.
You receive a structured report, walked through together in a decision session. The previews below show its structure and level of detail.

Fees exclude VAT, travel, translation and specialist work. Each additional country adds a national overlay workstream and is scoped accordingly. Online payment: none — quotation and invoice only.
Quarterly trajectory review, arbitration of deviations.
Execution follow-up, vendors, risks, benefits.
European Transformation Control Tower — initial term of six months, then automatic renewal. Either party may terminate with two months’ written notice.
Transformation steering — term defined in the engagement contract. Either party may terminate with three months’ written notice.
Recurring fees may be revised annually, subject to two months’ notice.
The engagement is complete when these twelve criteria are met.
The Blueprint separates the European core from national overlays, sequences the workstreams, costs the investment and installs governance with cross-border decision gates. It does not deliver the transformation or run the projects. It does not replace national legal, tax or accounting advice, does not constitute regulatory approval or certification, and does not substitute for specialist technical studies. The regulatory assumption register records what must be verified, by when and with which authority — it is not a legal analysis.
A masterplan lists what should be done. The Blueprint arbitrates: it separates what is designed once for the whole group from what must legitimately differ by country, and it names what to launch, combine, delay or stop.
Yes. Norway participates in the Single Market through the EEA, but EU legislation must not be assumed to apply in the same manner or on the same date. Every engagement including Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein triggers an EEA Incorporation Check.
It is frequent, and often the most profitable outcome. Stopping a project is a decision in its own right, documented and argued like any launch.
No. Each selected workstream falls to a specialised offer, and transformation steering can accompany execution if you wish.
Yes, and it is scoped explicitly. Each country adds a national overlay workstream — legal implementation, reporting, invoicing, supervisory authority. This is a scoping variable, not a detail.
No. The Blueprint maintains a dated regulatory assumption register and engages local specialists where national legal, tax or accounting validation is required.
Upstream of the Blueprint when the situation is not yet documented: the international 360° review, independent and evidence-based, across strategy, operating model, processes, data, systems, people and risk.
See the review →When the transformation targets a new market: an independent read of the market, its buyers and its expectations before you commit.
See the review →To instruct the data workstream of the arbitrated portfolio: fix data, indicators and processes tied to decisions, with a prioritised roadmap.
See the review →To fund the arbitrated workstreams: separate a sound investment from a fundable one, and prepare the funding without letting the programme shape the project.
See the engagement →After the portfolio is arbitrated: turn the selected workstreams into real use and measurable value, country by country, rather than a technically successful go-live.
See the engagement →When one workstream of the programme is already off track: assess it on its own before sequencing the rest.
