The Kindred Programme
Every project ends. The Kindred Programme keeps the advisory relationship going after it does.
Ongoing advisory access. Quarterly reviews. A partner who knows the business well enough to give a straight answer without a discovery process.
Our Philosophy
The most useful advisory relationships are built over time, not project by project.
The Kindred Programme is the structure that makes that kind of relationship possible.
Programme Benefits
A standing advisory relationship
Senior advisory input for strategic questions, significant decisions, and the kind of thinking-out-loud discussions that are difficult to have internally. Members can raise a matter at any point in the year and a session is scheduled, so important decisions don't have to wait for the next quarterly review.
What this means in practice
A major decision is approaching and you want an objective perspective before committing. An unexpected challenge arises mid-year. Something needs thinking through with someone who already knows the business. Kindred gives you a standing route to raise it and get a session in the diary: structured, scheduled access rather than an open line, which is what keeps the partnership working properly for both sides.
Four times per year
Structured quarterly sessions that review business performance, assess what has shifted, surface emerging challenges, and plan the next cycle of improvement. The accountability structure that keeps improvement from eroding.
Performance review · Challenge identification · Forward planning
Once per year
A comprehensive review covering operational performance, commercial effectiveness, and strategic direction. A structured baseline for the year ahead, tracking progress from the prior year.
Operational · Commercial · Strategic · Progress tracking
Ongoing
Guidance for ongoing improvement initiatives between formal reviews. Momentum doesn't always align with a schedule, so support can be arranged when it's actually needed, within the structure of the programme.
Between sessions · Improvement initiatives · Challenge support
When you need it
Priority scheduling for ArchWay, ArchView, and Bespoke Consulting services, so when specific project support is needed alongside the partnership, members move to the front of the queue.

Kindred members get preferential member pricing on BizKit toolkits and resources as they are released: a meaningful discount, not free access, because the toolkits have to stand on their own as a product. It's a practical way to keep building internal capability alongside the partnership.
Member pricing across
Toolkits · Assessment workbooks · Templates & registers · Implementation playbooks · Governance packs · Training resources
Areas Of Support
Operational: supply chain, inventory, process improvement, governance.
Commercial: strategy, sales management, pricing, market positioning.

Why Organisations Join
The hardest thing for any leader is maintaining an objective view of their own business while running it.
Kindred provides that external perspective, from someone who knows the business, without being inside it.
Membership is tailored to the organisation.
