01
Discover
We spend the first conversation understanding how your team hires, onboards, and documents work today — including what's working.
The Cordell Method
A clear consulting method. A clean handoff. Workforce systems your team can actually run.
The Cordell Method is the five-stage workforce and operations consulting sequence behind every engagement — from employee onboarding buildouts to SOP development and business process improvement. Five steps, three engagement formats, and a written cadence so nothing about scope, timing, or ownership is a surprise.
The Cordell Method
Five stages, in order, every time.
Discover, Assess, Design, Implement, Support. The same disciplined sequence for a one-time project or an ongoing engagement — so nothing about scope, timing, or ownership is a surprise.
02
Assess
We identify the specific gaps that are costing you consistency, and the two or three changes that will move the needle first.
03
Design
We build the checklists, packets, trackers, and communication templates your team will actually run — reviewed and approved by you before rollout.
04
Implement
We hand off documented systems your managers can operate, and support the first cycle of new hires or updates end-to-end.
05
Support
Ongoing help keeping documentation current and systems organized as your headcount grows, so nothing slides backward.
Cadence
What happens, and when.
A typical project runs about four weeks. Longer or shorter engagements follow the same rhythm.
Week 1
Discovery & assessment
We review current onboarding, documentation, trackers, and communications. You get a written summary of gaps and priorities.
Weeks 2–3
Design & review
We draft the process, materials, and trackers. Every artifact is reviewed and approved by you before it's finalized.
Week 4
Handoff
Final versions delivered as editable files, with a walkthrough for the manager or leader who will run them day-to-day.
Ongoing
Support (optional)
Monthly maintenance, coordination, follow-up, and updates so systems stay current as the team grows.
Working Together
Three ways to engage.
Choose the format that fits the project, the timeline, and how much ongoing support your team actually needs.
Project
A defined scope with a clear start, deliverables, and finish. Best for a single onboarding buildout, documentation refresh, or discrete workforce project.
Hourly
Coordination, preparation, or facilitation support on an approved scope. Best for teams that need targeted help without a fixed-scope project.
Monthly
Ongoing support with a set cadence and point of contact. Best for businesses hiring regularly who need systems to stay organized without adding headcount.
Scope is confirmed after discovery. Every engagement is right-sized based on your team, current materials, and what you're trying to achieve — so we don't quote work you don't need.
Ready
Let's talk about the shape of your engagement.
A 30-minute assessment tells you what working with us would actually look like for your team — timeline, scope, and the one or two changes that would matter most.
