Our Methodology

The 90 Day Foundation

The 90 Day Foundation is how we embed with your leadership team and stand up the HR work that should be running on a steady cadence. We break the first quarter into three thirty-day stretches, resulting in a sustainable working relationship where your people operations are handled with professional consistency.

Why this exists

A clear shape for the first quarter together

HR consulting often feels open-ended and vague. The 90 Day Foundation gives you a clear shape for our first quarter together, providing specific deliverables you can see and measure at the end of every thirty-day stretch.

  • A clear shape for the first quarter so you know exactly what's being built and when.
  • A steady advisor inside the conversations that matter providing leadership with a dedicated point of contact.
  • The transfer of weight from your shoulders as the work that shouldn't sit on a founder's plate finally finds a home.
  • Documented systems and a working rhythm that allow you to walk into month four with complete confidence.
  • A location-agnostic framework. The 90 Day Foundation was built to deliver the same high-level systems and strategic roadmaps whether we meet in person or virtually. The quality of the deliverables remains the constant.

What Changes

The shift you'll feel

The day-to-day starts to feel different. Decisions move with more context and the work that used to sit on a founder's plate finally has a home.

Before

After

Decisions are made in isolation without HR context.

Your team follows a consistent playbook to move faster and with more clarity.

HR is a reactive "to-do" list on the company's plate.

Your company operates with a steady heartbeat for every people-related task.

Compliance and policy work happens only when there's a crisis.

You possess a professional, documented foundation built for your specific culture.

Hiring and management feel like a bottleneck for growth.

Your company is scale-ready with managers who lead their teams independently.

What we believe

The thinking behind the work

01

HR is advisory, not a service ticket

Small businesses need an advisor who understands the operational context and stays in the conversation. Being present for the steady, daily work is just as vital as being there when a crisis arises.

02

Documentation is freedom

Processes that only live in your head are the ones that fail when you get busy. Documented rhythms are the primary way leadership stops being the bottleneck for the rest of the team.

03

The hardest calls deserve the most experience

The people decisions with the highest stakes require the most seasoned perspective. Having a steady, experienced voice in the room during these moments provides the clarity you need to act with confidence.

Who it's for

Built for businesses in a growth stretch

The 90 Day Foundation is the starting point for most LSPT engagements. This approach is designed for organizations where one of these is true.

  • You're scaling quickly and people operations have outpaced your current leadership bandwidth.
  • You've reached 30 to 200 employees and have never had a dedicated advisor to lead your HR infrastructure.
  • You have an internal HR resource who needs an experienced advisor to lean on for strategy and complex calls.
  • You're a founder spending significant time on people work that should be off your plate.
  • You want a defined roadmap for our first quarter of collaboration rather than an open-ended engagement.
