Yes, Working With Me can work for a small business, because you do not have to buy the whole platform to start. Buy for the change you need and the capacity you have to follow it through. Our defined full-day workshop is a one-off cost from £2,000, not a licence or a subscription, so you can try the method with your team before committing to ongoing access.
This is written for an owner or leader who likes the idea but worries it is priced like enterprise HR software, something built for a business ten times your size. It is not. There are several ways to work with us, and a small business often only needs one of them. Choose by the change you want and the capacity you have to follow it through, not by the size of the package.
What each way of working with us costs
- Our defined full-day workshop, from £2,000, one-off. A full day with your team, working manuals for everyone, and a four-week trial of the platform. Nothing recurring. Other workshop formats and longer team support are scoped and priced separately.
- The Working With Me platform, agreed with your organisation in a proposal. It holds working manuals and a team directory, alongside business guidance, live priorities and the daily work view. We agree the setup and scope with you, so you know the figure before you commit.
- The AI Adoption Programme, three months, tailored to your team and priced by proposal. Role by role, we find where AI is genuinely useful, agree the business rules, support people through the change and help managers measure what improves.
- Bespoke systems and platforms. New platforms and digital tools, or joining up systems that no longer fit together. Priced by proposal, based on agreed scope.
Why the workshop is a bounded cost, not an open one
A small business weighing up spend usually wants to know the total before agreeing to anything. The workshop gives you that. It is a single fixed price for the day, agreed upfront, with the four-week platform trial included rather than billed separately. Anything beyond that day, such as further sessions or continued platform access, is agreed in the proposal rather than assumed.
Do you have to buy the whole platform to get value
No. Some small teams stop after a workshop and its four-week trial, having written their manuals and agreed their priorities. Whether that lasts depends on what people do with it afterwards, not on the day itself. If you want your manuals, priorities and daily work to stay live and hosted after the trial ends, the Working With Me platform is the usual next step, with setup, scope and access agreed with your organisation.
The platform adds business guidance, live priorities and the daily work view, the parts that run alongside your business day to day. It is priced by proposal and discussed on a call, which is covered in more detail on the Working With Me page. There is no ladder to climb. If a workshop gives you what you need, that is a sensible place to stop.
What if the business is bigger, or the systems are already a mess
Bespoke systems and platforms is built for a different problem: a business that has outgrown its processes, or one that needs a new platform or digital tool built around a clear user need. That work is priced by proposal, based on the scope you agree.
For all the ways to work with us side by side, see the pricing page. If you want to know what drives the price of a workshop specifically, and how to judge the return on it, read what a team workshop costs. And if you want to know what actually happens once you have booked, getting started with Working With Me walks through how we agree a starting point with you.
If cost has been holding you back, start with a conversation about what you actually need. Talk to Jill about the change you need, your budget and the capacity you have to follow it through. We will explain the relevant platform and support options before you commit.
Common questions
Do we have to use the platform to start with Working With Me
No. There is no required order. A small business might start with a conversation, a workshop, or the platform itself. Our defined full-day workshop is a one-off cost from £2,000 and includes a four-week trial of the platform, and platform terms are agreed with your organisation in a proposal.
Is the workshop a one-off cost or a subscription
It is a one-off cost, agreed upfront, from £2,000 for the full day with your team. There is nothing recurring tied to the workshop itself.
How much does the Working With Me platform cost
It is agreed with your organisation in a proposal. We talk through setup, scope and access on a call, then set out the figure so you know it before you commit.
Is Working With Me priced per employee
Not for the workshop. The defined full-day workshop is a one-off price. The Working With Me platform, the AI Adoption Programme and bespoke systems and platforms are priced by proposal and discussed on a call.
What is the cheapest way to try Working With Me
Start with a conversation about what you want to improve. If a facilitated session suits you, our defined full-day workshop is a fixed one-off cost from £2,000 and includes a four-week trial of the platform, with no obligation to buy anything further afterwards. It is one option, not a required first purchase.
