Your clients ask you what to do next. Now you can answer with evidence.
For a C12 chair, an EOS implementer, an executive coach, a fractional executive, or a strategy consultant who already sits with owners and CEOs and has earned their trust.
The program is called Certified Scout it Facilitator. Training, co-facilitation, and the software under your brand.
What changes for you
You bring the evidence.
Your client’s numbers against their industry, and the two private surveys.
You keep the room.
The choices are made in the rhythm you already run, and the plan exports into their operating system.
You stay essential.
The quarterly Pulse and the annual refresh are yours, and Scout Advisors is behind you when a hard choice comes up.
The operating system, the consultant, the COO, the peer group, and the coach each made the company better. Each works even better when the team has evidence from customers, employees, and the numbers. Without it, the choosing still lands on the owner.
Your brand, our method
The client sees your brand. A small line in the footer says “powered by Scout it.” The method and the disclaimers stay in Scout it’s name.
Your clients see you. Scout it does the work underneath.
Where you earn
The engagement fee
You set it and you bill it. Scout it software is licensed to you at a partner rate, and you price your work above it.
Interview and research work
Confidential interviews with employees, customers, lost prospects, and board members each cycle, reported without attribution. Priced by you.
The quarterly Pulse
A reason to be in the room four times a year, with evidence the owner has not seen.
The work that follows
Validated initiatives turn into implementation, coaching, fractional leadership, hiring, or operating-system work when the client needs it.
Partner pricing and the engagement model are shared in the Strategy Session.
Who this fits
- Standing relationships with owners or CEOs of established companies with an operating leader in the seat.
- A regular rhythm the quarterly Pulse can live inside: a peer group, an EOS cadence, or a coaching schedule.
- Willing to observe, co-facilitate, and be graded against the Scout standard before running a cycle alone.
- Keeps the method and the disclaimers in Scout it’s name while the client sees your brand.
Not a fit
An advisor who wants a tool to sell without the training.
The proof
15%
rise in company value in under 18 months
Columbia Forest Products: in less than 18 months, the share price rose about 15 percent while the leadership team took responsibility for the high-priority decisions on consistent quality and customer engagement that used to stall and land on the CEO.
I’ve led and facilitated strategic planning for years as both a founder and an executive coach, and Scout is unlike anything I’ve experienced. It shifted the conversation from opinions to evidence, and made blind spots impossible to overlook. This is the process I would put in front of any executive leadership team.

The Truth Report you bring your client
This is what you put in front of the leadership team in the first working session. You lead the conversation; the evidence does the arguing.
Every statement opens to the evidence behind it
Open a source and the team sees what customers said, in their own words, and how many of them said it. Nobody has to take the loudest voice in the room, or the facilitator, at their word.
