Request a supply chain advisory call
Thirty minutes, no charge, and an honest answer on whether this is worth doing at all.
Thirty minutes, no charge, and an honest answer on whether this is worth doing at all. Tell me roughly what the problem is, in your own words, and I will come back within one working day with two or three times that suit you. The form asks for the company, the industry, the country, the size, what you are interested in and the problem itself. The problem field is the one that decides whether the call is useful, so it is worth three plain sentences rather than a job title. If you do not need an advisor, you will be told so on that call and it will cost you nothing.
What you get on the first call
Four things, and they are yours to keep whether or not you engage anybody. An outside read on the problem, described back to you in the words a supply chain person would use rather than the words you arrived with. An honest view on whether it is worth paying anyone at all to fix it, including the answer that it is not. A rough shape of the work: what order it runs in, who inside your company has to be in the room, and how long it takes. And what happens if you leave it alone, because sometimes that is the right answer and nobody says so.
What happens after you press send
You get a reference number on screen and by email, and the request is read by Danish Wazir, not by an automated system. The first call is thirty minutes and there is no charge for it; if you do not need him, you will be told so on that call and it will cost you nothing. If the work is worth doing, the next step is a written proposal: scope, what you receive, how long it takes and what it costs. What to have ready: the problem in your own words. Plain language is fine, and it is worth three sentences, because that is the field that decides whether the call is useful.
Common questions
What does the first call cost?
Nothing, and there is no obligation at the end of it. If the work turns out to be worth doing, the next step is a written proposal setting out the scope, what you receive, how long it takes and what it costs, so you are never guessing and never billed for a conversation.
Who takes the call?
Danish Wazir, not a sales team and not a junior. That is also the constraint on how many of these run at once, which is why the form asks for your time zone and preferred time of day rather than offering a booking calendar.
What does fractional Chief Supply Chain Officer actually mean?
It means the senior supply chain role without a full time hire: a set number of days a month, a defined scope and an agreed handover, usually while a business is too big to run without the function and too small to justify the salary.
Do you only work with textile businesses?
No. The textile work is where the examples come from, but the problems, a forecast nobody believes, stock in the wrong place and a planning process that lives in spreadsheets, are the same in most manufacturing. The form asks for your industry for that reason.
