## Frequently Asked Questions

**How quickly can you start working with us?**

Depending on the scope, discovery and implementation can begin within 1-2 weeks. For urgent validation activities or crisis support, mobilisation can happen even faster.

**How do we begin working with your organisation?**

The process starts with an initial consultation to understand needs and objectives through a 45-minute discovery call. This is followed by a digital proposal outlining recommended services, approach, timeframes, and investment required. A detailed project plan is then developed based on agreed priorities. Once signed, an hours' engagement meeting is conducted within a 4 week window, and then the program begins.

**How do you ensure program adoption across the organisation?**

A combination of engagement strategies is used, including stakeholder workshops, training sessions, communication campaigns, and practical exercises to build awareness and capability across all levels of the organisation. Relationships are built with key team members through email campaigns, one on one meetings, and connecting over LinkedIn. This builds trust and typically uncovers issues or ideas from more introverted colleagues.

**Do you provide ongoing support after the program is implemented?**

Yes, and this is a core service offering outcome. Fixinc seeks to build lifelong partnerships with individuals and organisations. This allows deep integration into the very fabric of organisations and threat landscapes, building relationships where support is always available, and holding accountability to ensure resilience capability is continuously growing.

**What makes Fixinc different from other resilience solutions?**

First and foremost, it is the simplicity of programs. Many organisations and professionals are led to believe that the "threat landscape is evolving at an unprecedented rate", and whilst there is no legitimate data to support this claim, it only creates fear through marketing. Resilience can be a simple, modern skill developed through building a culture of resilience and removing the noise of bulky plans and poor technology.

**Do you offer one-off services or long-term programs?**

Specialisation is in long-term resilience through the Maintenance Program, but short-term engagements are also available. Most clients begin with a single service and scale into a full partnership.

**What happens after the initial engagement is complete?**

Fixinc does not disappear after delivery. Through the Loyalty Program and Maintenance model, connection is maintained, evolving risks are reviewed, and ongoing improvements are made so resilience remains future-proof.

**What information do you need from us to get started?**

Initially, understanding of current resilience capabilities, regulatory obligations, key risks, and strategic objectives is needed. A detailed information request is provided once scope of engagement is agreed via the client portal.

**How long does it take for a program to be rolled out?**

The team focuses heavily on streamlined project management processes using proprietary technology to create implementation plans that make every step seamless. External factors (like getting teams involved with meetings) may impact time, but techniques exist to speed this up. Typically, a single program can take between 5 weeks and 3 months.

**What kind of outcomes can we expect from your services?**

Clear documentation, trained teams, and validated plans. Beyond that, confidence in programs and real-world readiness across people, processes, and systems.

**What makes Fixinc different from traditional consulting firms?**

Fixinc is not an average tick-box consultancy. Deep industry experience is combined with modern, tech-enabled tools to deliver practical, scalable resilience programs. No bloated teams, no unnecessary delays, just results.

**How much does a typical program cost?**

In most cases, programs start from $10,000 AUD. However, reviews are as little as a few thousand. After establishing scope of work and requirements, an initial quote can be provided within the same day of enquiry to pinpoint a more appropriate fee. Long-term partnerships are valued at Fixinc, so if budgets are a restraint, arrangements can be made.
