How we work
Activity is not output. Output is not an outcome.
That is the rule 123G runs on. It decides how we price, who does the work and how we hold ourselves accountable.
The buyer’s dilemma
Every option sells you one piece of the answer.
At an inflection point a leader needs four things: expertise, real capacity, hands-on execution and shared accountability for the outcome. They have never lived in one place.
Consulting firmRigor in a silo. Finished the day the deck is delivered.
Expert networkA sharp mind for an hour, with no time to learn your business.
Fractional executiveHands-on, but one person’s view.
Permanent hireA salary and a ramp, for a problem that may be gone within a year.
123GAll four in one place, with our success tied to yours.
Four commitments
01Our pay rides on your outcomeA meaningful piece of our pay is tied to outcomes we agree on together. We focus on achieving your outcomes, not elevating our incomes.
02Strategic Operators do the workWe over-index on people who have delivered results, with a layer of talent working alongside them. The partner who scoped your engagement does not vanish once the contract is signed.
03An integrated viewWe weigh every lever against your whole business, not only the slice we were hired for.
04A two-page contractYou can have a great relationship on a two-page contract, or a terrible one on eighteen. The paper is never what makes it work. Trust is.
An engagement
From problem to outcome.
1Bring the problemThe number you lose sleep over: revenue, profitability, growth, or the risk underneath them.
2Agree on the outcomeTogether we define what success is, and which part of our compensation depends on it.
3Build the teamA dedicated team from the network, specific to your business and the problem in front of it.
4Do the workOur Strategic Operators roll up their sleeves alongside your team. A bench that does the work, not one that hands it off.
