Workshop

Six one-page briefs you can print and mark up

Consult Local is a short workshop for people who do occasional advisory work for a local client: a neighbour's shop, a small office, a school, a family project. The briefs are written to be printed and scribbled on. They are not a course, and this site is not a firm that takes clients.

Each brief fits on a page or two. There is a checklist at the end of most of them. If you only need one, start there. If you are new to this kind of work, read them in order, beginning with the scope.

1. 01 Writing a scope
2. 02 The first meeting
3. 03 Pricing a short engagement
4. 04 Notes and handover
5. 05 Researching a university
6. 06 When to stop

A companion page, How to print, explains how the pages are laid out for paper. The left-hand gutter is there so a hole punch does not sit on the text.
