01 · Understand
Begin with the business.
You know the context. Alterity helps make the question, current process and constraints explicit, so the work starts with a shared understanding of what needs to change.
ResponsibilityName the decision.
Identify the role responsible for the next decision and the information it needs. An inquiry opens a conversation; it does not begin paid work.
02 · Diagnose
Give the scope a reason.
Separate symptoms from causes. Assess the gaps and dependencies, then recommend a first improvement that has a clear connection to the business question.
ResponsibilityMake the tradeoffs visible.
A prioritized gap assessment explains why a scope comes first, what it relies on and which decisions still need an owner.
03 · Build
Keep the work accountable.
Define consulting or contracted deliverables, the inputs they require and how the result will be reviewed. Agree the scope before treating a recommendation as a delivery commitment.
ResponsibilityAgree how the result is accepted.
The proposal makes the scope, customer contact, access and support owner clear. Supplier access and ongoing support are specified separately where needed.
04 · Handover
Leave a usable next step.
Bring the reviewed result, documentation and next action together. The handover gives the receiving owner a clear place to begin.
ResponsibilityPut the work in the right hands.
Confirm who carries the result forward and what support is included. Further work follows a separately agreed scope.

The work, in practice
The role follows the need.
One engagement may call for direction; another needs help carrying an agreed scope through to delivery.
Consulting and direction
Make a decision usable.
Frame the business question, assess the gaps and establish a practical first scope.
Creative and technical delivery
Give the direction a form.
Define the content, tools, systems or experiences to be delivered and how they will be reviewed.
Facilitation and coordination
Connect inputs and decisions.
Bring the necessary people, information and responsibilities into a clear working process.
Implementation and operation
Plan for the work in use.
Make implementation, ownership and any continuing support explicit in the agreed scope.
Within the portfolio
A clear relationship.
Alterity Digital is the parent of ExecRecon and its portfolio. Alterity’s consulting and contracting is a separate offering.
The first Recon Report is sold and operated by ExecRecon. It does not include an Alterity engagement by default.
