Good question! For starters, the annual cost of a full-time senior-level talent with cross-disciplinary skill set to even approach the category of what we do now exceeds $340,000, plus benefits (and good luck finding one available). Also, senior-level talent don’t have the cross-disciplinary acumen of Heroik. They lack the knowledge and expertise to develop pragmatic, lean , adaptive,  and digitally liquid solutions that can keep pace with the evolution of this emerging field.  So their thought process on what should be designed is likely very different from ours. Simply put, even if you could have a team do all this in house, we’d leave them in the dust.

The 4 phases are outlined below, but you can deep dive and learned step by step details of the 4 phase journey here.

Phase 1 – Strategy & Roadmap

Get clear on your situation, condition, position, customer, needs, opportunities, and direction.

Phase 2 – Build the Foundation

Build the core systems, skills, assets, needed for the initial Sprint.

Phase 3 – Move With a Purpose

Put it together (Move, Execute & Communicate) – Get guided through repeated reps to develop a flow of continuous improvement.

Phase 4 – The Growth Gauntlet to ROI

The CAPSTONE challenge to assess what you’ve learned and calculate ROI

It’s like signing up for the Tough Mudder of Business. There are plenty of challenges, fun, and obstacles all mixed with Heroik culture and a little BUDS / Hell Week on the final stretch. But for those who complete the program, they and their organizations are transformed into a far more competitive and resilient condition than when they started.

The program is based on a 4 phase approach that is tailored to your needs and goals (after the initial deep dive assessment). This is a collaborative effort, so expect to be shoulder to shoulder with a Heroik consultant with regular meetings. We will be navigating exercises to develop agendas, projects, and to execute the development, management and integration of any number of solutions.

This is a hard journey full of formidable work. This is an accelerated program, that takes a 4-5 year journey and condenses it into a single year. Along the way expect to get uncomfortable and confront neglected areas of your business, learn new ways of thinking, new methods, tools, and ways of communicating and managing things.

There will be fun and creativity. It’s not all a grind. Many of the creative exercises along the way are fun and captivating for our clients, and we design them that way.
Heroik will provide you with access to our workspace environment that will be configured to your unique organization. This is a private Heroik environment where much of the work will take place, projects will be managed, files will be uploaded, insights provided and so on.

You will work with Senior Heroik consultants. The odds are, you’ll work directly with Nicholas, founder of Heroik. However, Power Up requests may be provided by other partners.

All tiers of the program include built-in rally points with stakeholder communication plans at each of its four phases, ensuring cohesive and aligned team efforts.

The H-TAP Dashboard is a collaborative workspace for tracking and monitoring issues, opportunities, risks, and more. It simplifies decision-making and keeps participants informed about relevant digital trends.

These are personalized sessions with Heroik experts, tailored to your industry and organizational needs, focusing on unique challenges and providing practical, actionable solutions.

It’s a thorough review of your organization’s current digital strategy and infrastructure, assessing effectiveness and identifying areas for improvement.

Heroik stands out for its comprehensive digital strategy, tailored solutions, expert guidance, hybrid learning environments, transparent pricing, and lasting value in engagements.

These sessions offer updates on the latest trends and market analysis, helping align your digital strategy with current industry dynamics and track progress on identified issues.

Not at all. This is a consultative and collaborative program. The bulk of the value is in Heroik’s expertise, guidance and feedback on your current website. This is not a retainer in any way, shape or form. The fee structure is a fee for participating in the program.
