The Kessler Group works best with founders, product leaders, and small to mid-size teams who already have momentum but are feeling operational strain.
This often includes teams that are post-implementation, scaling quickly, or struggling with unclear requirements and decision bottlenecks.

If confusion, not effort, is slowing you down, you’re likely in the right place.

Yes. In fact, many clients already have internal PMs, BAs, or technical leads.

My role is not to replace existing team members, but to support clarity, translation, and prioritization—especially when internal teams are too close to the work to step back and diagnose what’s not working.

Async consulting means the work happens without recurring meetings as the default.

Instead of constant calls, collaboration happens through:

• Written reviews and recommendations

• Clear deliverables

• Targeted follow-ups when necessary

This allows teams to make progress without disrupting their day-to-day work—and often leads to more thoughtful decisions.

Very little.

Most engagements are designed to minimize time demands on your team. You’ll typically provide:

• Existing documentation or access to systems

• Written context or answers to a few targeted questions

From there, I handle the analysis and synthesis so you can focus on execution.

Common situations include:

• Software implementations that didn’t deliver expected value

• Unclear or constantly changing requirements

• Stakeholder misalignment

• Tool sprawl and process confusion

• Teams that feel busy but stuck

The common thread is lack of clarity, not lack of capability.

The simplest first step is a short diagnostic engagement.

This involves reviewing your current situation and delivering a clear, written path forward—what to fix, what to ignore, and what to do next.
There is no obligation to continue beyond this initial step.

Pricing is transparent and scoped, based on the type of engagement.

You’ll always know:

• What’s included

• What the outcome will be

• What the commitment looks like

There are no surprise fees or open-ended retainers unless explicitly agreed upon.

Yes—provided there is a real problem to solve and a willingness to act on recommendations.

Async consulting is often especially effective for small teams that don’t have time for lengthy meetings or extended discovery phases.

After the first engagement, you can choose to:

• Implement the recommendations internally

• Continue with monthly async support

• Engage in a custom project

There is no pressure to continue if the diagnostic alone meets your needs.

Traditional consulting often adds layers—more meetings, more artifacts, more complexity.

The Kessler Group focuses on clarity, restraint, and practical outcomes.
The goal is not to impress with volume, but to help teams move forward with confidence.

No. While many clients are product- or tech-adjacent, the work centers on decision clarity and operational alignment, not coding or engineering.

If tools, processes, or communication are getting in the way of progress, the work is likely relevant.

That’s normal.

If you’re uncertain, the free Clarity Consultation exists precisely to answer that question.
It’s designed to help you decide—clearly and without pressure—whether further engagement makes sense.
