Frequently Asked Questions

---

• Discovery Call (30 minutes) – A quick chat to understand your goals and challenges.
• Proposal – If we’re a fit, you’ll get a tailored plan with clear next steps.
• Engagement – We roll up our sleeves and implement together, removing friction, creating clarity, and building systems that scale.

The Catalyst  Meeting™ is a structured, facilitator-led session designed to surface clarity quickly. Session length varies based on team size and needs. In a single session, we:

• Surface what’s working and what’s holding you back
• Define a shared vision of operational excellence
• Map quick wins and longer‑term opportunities
• Capture it all in a simple, actionable roadmap you can use immediately

Unlike an internal brainstorming session, the Catalyst Meeting™ is guided by an external facilitator who keeps the group focused, ensures every voice is heard, and drives toward outcomes, not just discussion.

If you have multiple business teams that need alignment, a Catalyst Meeting™ Package extends this framework across groups, ensuring consistent insights, cross‑team alignment, and momentum that carries through the organization.

It depends on the scope of work and the type of support you choose.

A Catalyst Meeting™ is completed in a single or a set number of sessions. A Clarity Assessment™ typically takes 2–3 weeks. Operational Flow Redesign engagements generally span 6–12 weeks depending on the number of workflows and depth of redesign. Leadership Alignment + Coaching is offered on a monthly basis. Team Connection + Culture Building sessions and Experiential Strategy Retreats are scheduled as single events or short series.

Every engagement is tailored to your needs, so the timeline is designed to match your goals, capacity, and pace of change.

Both. Many clients prefer virtual sessions for flexibility and efficiency, while others benefit from in‑person facilitation for deeper collaboration. Karma Consulting adapts to what works best for your team and the outcomes you’re aiming for.

For in‑person engagements, travel costs (such as airfare, hotel, and related expenses) are either built into the proposal or invoiced separately as pass‑through fees, following your organization’s travel reimbursement policy.

Yes. To provide the right expertise at the right time, Karma Consulting occasionally engages a trusted network of consulting partners, professionals we've successfully collaborated with on past projects. These partners bring specialized skills such as project management, AI implementation, and systems/program coding.

When a project would benefit from additional expertise, partner support may be included in the proposal. All costs are clearly outlined in advance, and there are no hidden fees. Importantly, you’ll never need to manage multiple consultants: Karma Consulting remains your single point of contact, ensuring seamless communication, consistent quality, and a unified approach.

 When you work with Karma Consulting, you don’t just get advice, you get systems, tools, and support that stick:

• Clarity from the start: Documented workflows and operating procedures that bring consistency across your team.
• Actionable requirements: BRDs that translate business needs into clear specifications for software and process improvements.
• Tailored improvements: Prioritized recommendations aligned with your goals and capacity.
• Roadmaps in motion: Implementation plans with milestones, ownership, and ongoing support, not just a binder on the shelf.
• Smart vendor choices: RFP development, evaluation criteria, and recommendations to ensure the right fit.
• Visibility & control: Dashboards and reporting tools to track budgets, resources, and progress.
• Smooth adoption: Structured requirements and facilitation that make technology rollouts less stressful and more successful.
• Team alignment: Buy‑in achieved through collaborative facilitation and shared decision‑making.

The Sanskrit word Karma is derived from the root word Kru, which translates as “work, deed, or action.” In the tradition of Karma Yoga, "the Yoga of Action," this means engaging in purposeful work with clarity and intention.

At Karma Consulting, that philosophy is at the heart of what we do:

• Helping leaders and teams take the right actions that create meaningful change.
• Turning “busy” into better by aligning effort with outcomes.
• Approaching consulting as a form of service, designed to remove friction and spark sustainable growth.

The name is a reminder that transformation doesn’t come from chance. It comes from intentional action.
